Don't play many Indies, but that is something good to promote them.



duduspace11 "Well, since we are estimating costs, Pokemon Red/Blue did cost Nintendo about $50m to make back in 1996"

Mr Puggsly: "Hehe, I said good profit. You said big profit. Frankly, not losing money is what I meant by good. Don't get hung up on semantics"

Azzanation: "PS5 wouldn't sold out at launch without scalpers."

All 9 games have been announced. Seems like a good mix of something for everyone. See original post for links to the announcement videos.



I love that "F.I.S.T." game, it looks incredibly fun and that dieselpunk aesthetics is awesome. I'm excited for this game. Hope I can preorder it.

"Creaks" looks really good. Love that hand painted look. Might get this one right away also, I'm just hoping that playing isn't too hard. Others can like harder game play, just I've got limits to what I enjoy playing.

"Maquette" looks good. The game gives me the feeling like I would like it as much as I liked playing "The Unfinished Swan".



Good to know, thanks for this infos!
