    Oh, no! Competition in the games industry causing the slop to fall to the bottom! We better ban steam immediately put everything behind a walled guardian and have “AAA” companies be the only ones allowed to publish! What if the plebs start making money? Then what?

      Slop falls to the bottom but I bet a lot of hidden gems do too. The greater volume of games coming out, the harder it’ll be for individual developers to get recognized!

      Old school indie developer Jeff Vogel has a whole talk about how difficult it is.

      Competition in the games industry causing the slop to fall to the bottom!

      Do you really believe that markets and competition creates better products and services? How do you square that with basic observations about how the world is? If success was linked to quality, then Subway would be the worlds best food; Clash of Clans the best video game; and Tesla the best car.

      The markets of the world say that Nvidia is worth more than the Pharmaceutical Industry.
