Supporting Indie Game Developers and Considering Game Value
In this episode of the Indie Basement podcast, I discuss the recent news of Embracer Group splitting into three different companies: Asmodee for tabletop gaming, Coffee Stain for indie games, and Middle Earth Enterprises and Friends for AAA titles. I express concern about the impact of shareholder value on the gaming industry and the rising cost of games. I also highlight the recent Indie World Showcase by Nintendo, featuring games like Little Kitty Big City, SteamWorld, and Yars Rising. I emphasize the importance of supporting indie game developers and considering the value of games beyond their price.TakeawaysEmbracer Group is splitting into three companies: Asmodee for tabletop gaming, Coffee Stain for indie games, and Middle Earth Enterprises and Friends for AAA titles.The host expresses concern about the impact of shareholder value on the gaming industry and the rising cost of games.The Indie World Showcase by Nintendo featured games like Little Kitty Big City, SteamWorld, and Yars Rising.Supporting indie game developers is important, and the value of a game should be considered beyond its price.
