So is this a post apocalyptic re-skin of one of those "raise the princess" kind of games ??

Too bad no multiplayer.

Those 6 second trailers sound good as long as they show relevant gameplay footage.

I cannot really tell what a game should cost, I never saw the numbers of a game producer (and couldn't evaluate them anyway). I got the feeling of a middle ground breaking away (or beeing bought away), something between indie and AAA, but I'm not sure about that either. What I see (in the Steam forums mainly) is people complaining about the price of 20$ indie games threatening to just download them, which I find quite ugly.

I think what you are referring to is AA.
Games that have some budget and a bigger team than 3 indie devs in a debroom but nowhere near the millions of AAA with teams of a hundered+ people.

20$ for an indie game is fair. In my personal opinion it depends on the mileage you get from it.
Terraria , Minecraft etc with huge replay value would deserver 20$ easy.

As for threatening to pirate games , on the steam forum of all places seems the stupidest thing possible.
Might as well post in all caps "please ban my account"

Quoting: GuestThe video game market is broken as shit. You have publishers gouging money from gamers everywhere you turn, so people turn to other sources in order to buy games for less. Its been happening for decades. Remember when copied games were sold in the market for a fraction of the retail price?

(Not talking lootboxes and nonsense into account here..)
In my humble opionion, most games are way too cheap.
In the 90ies, a game usually costed 100 german marks.
With inflation, this translated to 83 euros / 93 dollars.
Back then a game was made by, dunno, a handful or two of people?
Nowadays, even productions by hundreds of people cannot ask for 90 dollars.
And productions by a handful of people are often condemned if they take more than 20 dollars...

That may be the case , but the market still decides what goes and what doesn't.
Also bear in mind all the editions and launch DLC that come with a game. A lot of stuff gets cut out on purpose when a game releases and you can buy it as "DLC" despite it being available on launch day.
Another reason why i think the 90 dollar price tag might not work is wages. You might restrict your consumers to high income individuals. There is no cost for the phyiscal media and given enough bandwidth/storage you can sell infinite copies of a game.
So what makes more sense ? Sell 90$ game to a few who will buy it or sell 60-40$ game to many more people ?

Quoting: TheSyldatFor their 15 years of operation they get together and spend a week trying to instal Linux on a 486 from source using a stage 1 gentoo :P

That would be a video for AkBKuKu [External Link], though. So far LGR has shown absolutely no interest in (or knowledge of) the unix & free software side of things.

cool retro youtube channel
I knew LGR and 8-bit-guy but that one escaped me.
Thanks for bringing it up :P

Quoting: ZeloxCongrats looking forward to the next 10 years to come. I also got to say, I miss gol Friday streams with samsai. New Linux releases streamad and doom 4 :P. If you read this samsai, come back :P

Samsai still streams on Friday but not on the main GOL Twitch channel.
I think they went their own seperate way as Samsai and Liam/Sin wanted to do different things on Friday.
