Old games SUCKED. Here's why you don't believe me.

Old games sucked. You like them because the current AAA industry is making EVEN WORSE games. In this video I break down: 1.

Why the indie game scene on Steam and itch.io is quietly crushing it right now. 4. My honest thoughts on God of War's latest entry and why "more" isn't always better I'm Heriam — game designer and 3D modeler — and I make chaotic, opinionated videos about games and game design.
