there's a third reason: Netflix is designing shows for second screen viewing, which means that no one's actually trying to make the shows the focal point of the viewers' attention. That means the shows are generally not interesting enough for viewers to want more of.

My slice of life BL visual novel In Fair Spirits has been released on the Switch, PS4/5, and the Xbox! If you want to read about a medieval knight isekaied into the modern day falling for a disaster of a goth boy then this is the VN for you 🙏 ✨ 🌼 ratalaikagames.com/games.php?id...

I would pay so much money for a cartridge based handheld that indie devs could make titles for. I want to release a game that you can ker-chunk into a real console and play. I want the save files saved to the cartridge themselves.

My biggest pet peeve is that there's a ton of scam websites that are "Free QR Code Generator"s then the QR code stops working after a few days and then redirects you to ask you to PAY to re-activate it. I made a page on website for making ACTUALLY FREE QR Codes. Enjoy. konig.games/QRCodes/ #QRCodes

Yippppeeee! My game for #joseijam Starlight Road is out! It's my (first ever?!?! ) short yuri game about two cute idols ( ദ്ദി ˙ᗜ˙ ) There's romance....if you squint! :> ✨Warnings✨ - Hand Holding - No kiss scene( ;´ - `;) 🐰 Check it out here: 🐰 otojang.itch.io/starlight-road #vndev #yuri

I just noticed that Trail of Stars, my free fairy tale VN, is only one review away from reaching Very Positive! If you enjoyed it and would be willing to leave one, I'd appreciate it a lot, especially as it remains shadowbanned on itch (despite being free and sfw 🥲)

We don't enforce any DRM for games and stuff on @itch.io. Buy, download, and never connect to the internet again for all we care ✌️

The Video Game History Foundation has called on trade groups like the ESA to find a way to "legally preserve" digital-only games for research. "Asking museums to download a copy of GTA 6 and hope it’ll run in 50 years is not a preservation solution." www.videogameschronicle.com/news/video-g...

If you're curious what a non-preservationist gaming ecosystem looks like, you can look at the mobile stores, where most of the shit you remember does not exist in any form anymore.

By going digital only, all games have been been reduced to “content” - attention-seeking data packs drowning in an endless boiling sea of slop. F#ck C#ntent.

re: getting your paypal nuked (or stripe, your bank account, any visa/mastercard access, etc) Please report your experience to the FTC and the OCC. They're already under pressure for debankment and we want to stress how important this is (and once again, the OCC mentioned adult entertainment)
