If you see a trailer you like, DON'T KEEP IT TO YOURSELF. Pop it on a Discord, or here, or do a TikTok about it, I don't care: share it and talk about it and do not shut up about it, because that's a significant pillar to keeping indie studios afloat and it is FREE TO DO.

As always, the secret to this is to please support the studios you like. Buy their games, review them, share them online, talk about them.

That's the lifeblood of the industry, because SO MUCH of the audience is playing Fortnite/ Minecraft/ Roblox *and nothing else*.

Exercising caution before weighing in on this as I often find with stuff like this that there's a second update that turns it on its head BUT it does highlight that studios are now a/ one poorly-selling game away from closing and b/ one storefront (or lack of) can make that happen and that is bad.
The excitement of Horses' long-awaited arrival on 2nd December has been tempered by more sobering news. After a series of confounding decisions by Valve, Horses is effectively banned from Steam, leaving the developer highly unlikely to recoup its development costs. https://bit.ly/4oZf00j

Steam intentionally killing an old, respected, and beloved decade old indie game studio through bullshit policy is fucking wild
Our upcoming game HORSES was preemptively banned from Steam, with no path to appeal. The game will still launch next week on December 2nd and will be available on EGS, GOG, Humble, and Itch for $4.99. Here is a detailed FAQ covering what happened: horses.wtf/BannedFromSt...

Really wild situation here: a celebrated and well-regarded indie dev and publisher is facing shutdown because Valve banned their game from Steam and won't talk to them about it, at all.

For 8 great Star Wars movies (or, more exactly, narrative arcs), that seems more than fair to me. ☺️
Disney Spent More On ‘Andor’ Than Any Of Its ‘Star Wars’ Movies
Disney has revealed it spent $60.5 million on Star Wars streaming series Andor in 2024, giving the show a total cost of $705.5 million - far higher than the spending on any of the movies in the saga.
