![]() Good, I'm glad we agree that the way steam used to be in regards to indie titles pre-greenlight was bad. Remember, before Greenlight we had the walled garden. That's why people care about what happened to steam. Now imagine that one day that service decides to just let everybody put up their comics and suddenly if you're interested in checking out the new releases for cool new comics, you now have to wade through a variety of shovelware, whether it is just screenshots someone made of some free poser models in various positions with speech bubbles mspainted over top, or dozens of video game webcomics showing up, or people illegally reselling comics they didn't make (or selling comics they did make but contain material they aren't allowed to legally make money off of), or people just uploading files that don't even necessarily work, but they're cheap so whatever, and suddenly the digital distribution service's reputation as having some sense of quality control is tarnished and people regard it as containing a lot of shovelware that you would have to wade through and something like front page space is heavily devalued because it no longer takes effort to get on to the new releases list, a person who doesn't speak english can just run some text through google translate, slap it on top of their ms paint comic, then slap that on the store front. Nothing is perfect, but at the very least there's some sort of guarantee that the comics will be legible and that the files will work when you purchase them. Yes, there are things like, but those end up being the exception, not the rule. It's generally considered a cool thing to get your comic up on this digital distribution service because they, unlike their fellow digital comic distribution service, there is at least *some* attempt to maintain an air of quality. Not a person reading through each comic and going "that's good" or "that's bad" but just someone going through and making sure they at least meet some kind of bare minimum, such as maybe "is comprehensible" and "has some degree of effort put into its art" and "isn't just reselling someone else's work and calling it their own." Now, imagine a service that provides comics digitally and has some degree of quality control going on. If I wanted digital I would want a single storefront to manage it allĪlright, let's take comics. Honestly it's just games, but that's because I like physical media for that other stuff. I imagine fewer people would complain about huniepop if the devs were just like "yeah we want to make a match 3 puzzle game but with dating sim elements where you get to see the ladies naked if you match 3 well enough, what of it" instead of trying to go all "hahaha wouldn't it be funny if we kickstarted and developed and released a game where you get to match 3 to date girls and eventually have sex with them haha wouldn't that be hilarious ha ha just saying" ![]() The lead dev of huniepop and the lead dev of bastard bonds are both weirdos, but the bastard bonds dev seems to recognize and own that while the huniepop dev films himself trying to practice pickup artist tactics to promote his game and play off the whole thing is one big joke. Huniepop is a bunch of devs trying way too hard to let people know they "ironically" made a match 3 game with porn and lacks the sincerity of something like bastard bonds. ![]() It is very earnest and sincere with its depictions of its sexuality. I dont understand why this game is considered ok, but Hunipop is poo poo on.īastard Bonds is a video game about the horrors of living on a prison island and having to fend for yourself and learning to band together and bond with your fellow islanders, but also everyone is really buff, fat, fatbuff, a twink, or sometimes a lady.
