Absolutely agree with Abubakar Salim! It’s frustrating to see so many publishers chasing trends instead of focusing on creativity and genuine expression. Games should be about storytelling, art, and the unique experiences they offer, not just trying to cash in on the next big thing like Fortnite. When developers prioritize passion over profit, we get some of the most memorable and innovative games. Let’s hope more people in the industry start to see it that way!
Totally agree with Salim! It’s frustrating to see so many publishers chasing trends instead of focusing on creativity and genuine storytelling. Games should be about pushing boundaries and expressing unique ideas, not just trying to cash in on the latest craze. There’s so much potential in gaming as an art form, and it’s a shame when that gets overshadowed by the desire for quick profits. Let’s hope more developers start prioritizing passion over profit!
