MODERATORS
They fund game development where the studio can't afford to, and advertising which makes the difference between being an overnight success, and disappearing onto page 37 of an app store where it will never be seen again.
Like, sure, you don't need them, but the big indie games who made it without them are the exception to the rule.
There's no rule. Those games that disappeared in your app store disappeared because they suck and went into an app store.
There are plenty of great games you will literally never hear about.
Oh well.
Right, "oh well" is all you can say about that. Which is why publishers are useful to many games.
I personally promoted a subreddit to 8.5m subscribers. If you can't do that with some kind of actual value in hand, you kinda suck. Stuff that's good will definitely make the rounds.
Sure. Because you were able to find success, that means everyone should also be able to do it, no matter how different their circumstances are (like the fact that a game genre may be more niche, or that you actually have to pay for games).
You seem like the type that unironically tells people to just pull themselves up by their bootstraps.
welllll... let's not bandy the word "success" around too much here.
He did say "subreddit", on Lemmy, for a start.
People talk about what's good, especially if you have good presentation skills.
because programmers are well known for their good people skills?
Yeah. They are.

you genuinely made me chuckle. I don't know if you were trying to be funny, or are that insane/deluded, or what, but that was absurd enough to be funny.
You should be a programmer!
Nah, I'd never get to do the fun stuff. It'd be the same snippets of coffee strung together for the sake kinds of clients all the time.
you are not a clever man.
