Thank you Horchata.

Haha, yeah, I know a lot of people who are in your exact same situation. For some reason everyone just loves to drop instruments in favor of guitar, I guess it's because they're more practical than most other instruments? Either way, I would love to hear what you can play!

Maybe I will if I ever sit down and actually draw again, I don't think I've drawn anything other than stupid napkin doodles since last year. I'm barely capable of forcing myself to stop playing Trails in the Sky 3/Guilty Gear Rev 2 long enough to go practice piano, drawing is completely out of the question atm

Usually, forums only make enough ad revenue to sustain themselves, and that's when they have a decently large active userbase. MLPForums is much more active than this site has ever been, and yet Feld0 has to rely on user donations to actually maintain the damn thing because the ad revenue just can't keep up with the costs of the website.

I'm certain the only reason the site is still up is because Feld0 is too attached to actually to take it down. And because it's being maintained by MLPForums donations.

Linkle being the protagonist of a mainline Zelda =/= Linkle being Link.

Either way, Link as a character is not defined by his gender, so I don't know what your problem is here. It's not the same situation as in, say, Mario suddenly turning into a woman, because Mario in every game is the same entity while most Zelda games have a different Link.

Because it's a dumbification of Devil May Cry.

... Not making any money is a big deal. You kind of need money to eat.

You'd save money because you would only be buying the games you're absolutely sure you want, instead of the ones you think that look kind of interesting and decide to wait for them to go on a bundle. I'm gonna wager you don't wait for Nintendo's games to drop in price.

It's their choice in the same way jumping down was the choice of someone surrounded by flames on the roof of a building. These devs chose to run through the flames, because they don't have any other choice if they want to survive. See, when you sell games for pennies, you create market expectation about the price games should be selled at, and so devs who develop games that should be sold for $15 are forced to sell them for $2 on sales or bundled with 7 other games for pennies, because the market simply won't buy them at the standard price anymore. Couple this with Steam greenlight, which effectively opened the floodgates to allow anything to enter the platform, and you're pretty much recreating the exact situation that lead to the crash many years ago: Steam is a flooded market where the customers don't have any real way to tell what's good from bad, so they're just buying what's marked down, which makes it impossible for the larger companies (mid-tier developers like Paradox and indies like SuperGiantGames categorize as this) to make a profit off of their sales.

That could eventually lead to those larger companies making the good games to throw their hands up and give up on investing time and money on the platform. It's impossible to tell exactly how this will manifest at this point, but you can be sure it won't be any good for the industry or the customer.

But you know what? I'm sorry for targeting you. It's not your fault and it was stupid of me to insinuate it is.

Congrats, you're part of the problem. Maybe you should have considered buying the individual games you wanted instead of screwing over the developers by forcing them to share your money with 7 other developer teams. You'd save money, have a cleaner steam library and support the developers of the games you like all at once.

You're the ignorant one.

More than one third of Steam games are never played. Steam's entire business model is built around making you buy for pennies games you didn't actually want.
