    That's actually more than I thought. I thought about 80% fall into complete oblivion.

    Agreed, my first thought was about the stats for Twitch streamers where having more than something like 10 concurrent viewers consistently for a 30 day period puts you in the top 15% of streamers on the platform or whatever. I forget the exact numbers, but it's something crazy like that.

      There's no downside for consumers, sucks if you are making art for an oversaturated market.

      But that's why artists should get a UBI

      No not UBI, but universal necessities to live. ie food water electricity housing healthcare and for all people not just artists.

      UBI is a bandaid solution where money is taken from the government and given to corporations when governments should supply those necessities itself.

          Money can be exchanged for needs.

          It works fine to distribute resources.

            Uni has nothing to do with corporations though?

            It's everyone getting enough money to live comfortably

              I think it's more efficient if people get a few hundred dollar boost every week to spend when and wherever they please, rather then stand in line and receive whatever obtuse handout the government has decided they deserve.

                  "game" is a big stretch for a lot of the asset flip or AI trash that is currently on steam.

                  I think the bad reputation for asset flips is somewhat overblown. Like, of course some slop game is going to use assets but a lot of decent indie games do too. Using assets doesn‘t make a game bad. But yes a lot of games are just low effort bootlegs of whatever is popular right now.

                  But whats worse are games containing legit malware on Steam. Apparently that is becoming a growing problem.

                    For Literally everything but food the government can supply everything without standing in line. You are right though, I believe SNAP in America is a largely efficient organisation that takes an already convenient system of food distribution and allows the person to buy things at a grocery store like everybody else. I guess in society it's also important that SNAP or other beneficiaries feel normal as well.

                      240 games, only 10 reviews out of which only 2 are negative.

                      Unless game is either really great or really bad, I skip leaving a review. I am sure most do exactly the same.

                        Something I tried to do earlier to help with it, in this very channel, was a "Downvote any game you've heard of before" thread. It was a nice exercise to help people post odd games no one had heard of.

                          This is it, but it's been long enough it's likely worth repeating the exercise:
