ddickinson: That's good then. Do you enjoy the cards?

ddickinson: That's true. If only they had voted with their wallets on the bad points of gaming, we would have no DRM, the lazy developers and publishers would be out of business (or forced to put some effort into things), and we would have a lovely game market.

Should indie developers be given more leeway with the bad practices? I do not thing so. They should be help to the same standards, with in reason of course. Bad practices are bad practices, no matter how big or small a company is. Indies should never be let off lightly for broken games, failed promises, and other things like that, just as the AAA developers and publishers should not.

ElTerprise: Yes. But that's the way the industry developed unfortunately. Iirc even the bigger publishers were willing to try something or take some risks in the past but not anymore. Now it's all the big franchises and streamlined experiences....which means it's up to the indies to save there creativeness of this typ of media...

Alright. As much as i would like to continue the conversation i'm quite tired now and need some sleep.
*big good night hug* Good Night and see you tomorrow :)

l0rdtr3k: Been playing of 5 years.

ddickinson: True, but they are old games, back when the market was a little better and less greedy and lazy.

Good evening, Endre!

I am very sorry to hear that you are still not feeling good. Sadly there is little I can do to help other than offering lots of hugs.

*lots of big farm girl hugs for the lovely Endre*

ddickinson: So I guess you really enjoy it to be playing it for that long. Do you have many friends that play it as well?

EndreWhiteMane: Now you have me wondering whether you missed the joke or that was a very clever (British) comeback. :/
Thanks for the hugs. *big hug back*

l0rdtr3k: *rerorerorero intensifies*
Not many.

ddickinson: I am very tired, so it was probably me missing the joke. But to make me sound better I will pretend it was a clever comeback. :-)

Anything we can do to help cheer you up (I know there probably is not, but I just wanted to ask)?

EndreWhiteMane: Nah, I'll be OK, just have to wait it out.

Indy game from a AAA publisher? Indiana Jones from Lucas Arts?
Are you sure you're a Brit? :-)

ddickinson: Okay, but if you think of something let me know.

In my defence, I have only ever seen the movies once or twice, and that was a long time ago. I don't really think Indy, I always think Indiana Jones. Plus I am tired, stop picking on me. :-)

EndreWhiteMane: OK, OK, but it's not often I can 'out humour' you. :-)
Time for you to get some sleep. ;)

ddickinson: Perhaps you are right, time for bed I think.

Goodnight, Endre! I hope you have a lovely evening and a good nights sleep when you decide to get some rest.

*big goodnight hug*

ddickinson: Does your girlfriend play it with you?
