Pretty much, I mean I’ve seen amazing things the mainstream will never touch or know about… ultimately they made no money and the creators of them are either bitter or dead.

And I’ve seen absolute shit become a global phenomenon

Luck is sadly a necessary survival skill

Oh and there’s Alone In The Dark which just defies any explanation I have because it had one good game that aged horribly, and people are still trying and failing to reboot it.
