This might seem pedantic but it's really a term that means nothing and it's one of those terms people throw around because either they don't know how to articulate their criticism, or they just say it in the middle of a wider article becuase "idk people say that".

I need to stop yelling at the people yelling at itch, I think the people yelling at itch could take a moment to consider things are likely extremely bad over there right now and their resources are nonexistent, and we should all go find a mastercard executive

you guys are not actually this fucking stupid that you're about to champion disney and universal in a copyright suit right. you're not about to go Actually yes. I think Disney should be allowed to sue and claim over the likeness of their characters in random pictures online. Because AI """Art""" Bad

Misinformation about level count on box art
FUDGING THE NUMBERS
Wario Land 4
Over twenty enormous stages await!
Wario Land 4 has 18 platforming levels.
These are all fairly large and can be reasonably
described as "enormous". However, to bring the
number to "over 20", the six boss stages have to
be counted, which each are exactly one single
GBA screen in size. The game either has "enormous
stages" or "over 20" of them, but definitely not both.
REAL ESTATE AD
EQUIVALENT
Counting
walk-in closets
as rooms
STRETCHING THE DEFINITIONS
Donkey Kong Country
Over 100 levels
Donkey Kong Country has 33 platforming levels,
40 if boss stages are also counted. The "over
100" number comes from counting individual
bonus rooms within levels as levels,
which by any reasonable definition would
be considered parts of a level instead.
Any technical definition by which a room could
be counted as a level, such as "a level is anything
that is loaded into memory separately", would
not reflect the general usage of that word.
REAL ESTATE AD
EQUIVALENT
Counting cupboards as rooms
BLATANT FABRICATION
Super Mario World
Explore 96 levels
Super Mario World has 73 levels.
The number 96 comes from the box counting
levels with two exits as two levels each.
It is generally understood that in a platformer,
a "level" is a distinct area. Counting a single
area as two just because it has two ways to
exit it is at best incomprehensible logic
and at worst deliberately misleading.

Counting doors as rooms

Experimental post: Untruthful Mario Boxes
Occasionally, box art of Mario-related games will be misleading about the number of levels a game has. I list three examples in ascending order of "fraudulence", alongside equivalent statements if these were real estate ads.

free advice for game developers: try to make the next smash hit video game, such as grand theft auto. if you do, you'll be making more than just a video game – you'll be making millions of dollars

AI evangelists are archetypal "Ideas Guys". The ones who are convinced they've come up with the best movie/comic/game concept ever, but just need actual talented people to make it for them. The inevitable lack of interest from creatives is, in their mind, the reason they've never succeeded.

pet peeve is completely unjustified claims of "spaghetti code" by non- or amateur programmers

SUPERHOT VR's Story was Removed. What? / GioCities I don't talk about how horny the game is. it is horny but that's not part of this

SUPERHOT VR had its whole story patched out. I thought about it slightly too long and fell into rabbit hole. It doesn't make sense, it's bad that it happened, and it prompts a whole bunch of naval-gazing about Art.

Which is why the advice I give is 'Do not have a Steam forum'.

A lot of devs do not know it's possible to just lock your forums entirely and have a single stickied post saying 'Come join our properly moderated and vetted Discord or fuck off, your choice'.

Not defending the decision of boosting them, but:
Discord did not develop these apps. These are user-install apps dev'd by 3rd parties.

Discord did not "ADD" those. They've been here FOR A LONG TIME
YOU as a MOD can prevent their public messages.
