« The end of year sales season on Steam will be soon upon us. The summer sale was a big disappointment for most. If the Halloween/fall/winter sales also underperform this will probably be the moment when large numbers of indie devs simply throw in the towel
Between the rise of subscription services on mobile, Steam consistently making passive discoverability worse (despite trying somehow), and the glut of porting companies flooding the Switch with everything they can get their hands on, can we call it the indiepocalypse yet?
Because if this isn't a major market contraction/shift I don't know what the hell is
Oh right forgot Apple basically closing the door to indie games on Mac, that happened
Eh it probably started in earnest about 2-3 years ago but most of the indie "middle class" as it were was brushing it off until recently cause hey they were doing fine so all these other people must've just been shit https://twitter.com/breakfastbat/status/1176603486974283777
Anyway this has been your regular "yes it's actually the indiepocalypse this time guys" reminder that nobody listens to ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Epic deals only exist for the upper 0.1% of indies, so there's no point in betting on Epic saving you
Plus EGS deals went from free cash to advances on sales, soon those deals will drop another tier and become less appealing
Epic deals are part of Epic's toolkit (like all the free games they've been giving out) to make their store competitive and lock people in. It's silly to think they'll remain or even increase, this isn't a long term strategy and these deals will vanish relatively quickly »
