Metacritic has sent a reminder email to all games site editors/publishers which is pretty strong, and great:

With news of more games media layoffs, this seems like a good time to share my Indie Games Media starter kit β€” it’s more important than ever that readers directly support their favourite publications and writers.

To paraphrase a friend: stay on the path, make good things. Indie has always flourished in the face of AAA distraction. Times are bad, but let others deskill, pivot to nonsense or chase impossible outcomes. People really like playing videogames. Suits forget that every 6 months or so.

People keep saying it’s β€œharmless” or β€œironic”, but I just can’t see a world in which calling social games β€œfriendslop” is ok.

To me, it’s a horrible word, with disrespectful connotations & I find it an insult to players, devs, human connection & life itself #IndieDev #CoOp #IndieGames #Multiplayer
