    It’s called “monopolize gaming without paying for developers”. The beauty of it is, if you ruin all of modern gaming and buy out all the existing hits, you can shove in monetization and project insane profits

    At least until indie gaming takes over, your stock price will go to the moon

      until indie gaming takes over

      People want to play what’s popular, to feel part of a group.

        And there’s thankfully usually a popular indie darling of the season to do that. Valheim, Vampire Survivors, Lethal Company, Among Us, Dave the Diver, etc. etc.

        Something unique that can be easily streamed in most cases.
