@markripley.bsky.social@markripley.bsky.social → @markripley.comTotally yes! Targets are different for indies. Also, releasing in PC doesn't overlap with GTA 6 so... I guess it depends on the game and the target devices...
Show PostWaitrose there, testing the very extremities of the definition of the word "only".
Show PostI've spent most of this year with retro games, a few indies and slightly older titles I can get at a discount - and it's worked out pretty well. I have my eye on new stuff in the future but I probably won't go nuts.

Show PostPersonally I couldn't care less about GTA6. I've played most of them up to GTA5 and looking at the 20-minute Netflix ad for GTA6, there's nothing new about it. Just more of the same.
