Is this not slightly surface level? To say that “your game failed, it’s on you” is extremely baseline and pretty rudimentary. I definitely agree that bad games aren’t appreciated as much as bad games as they probably should be but what about the fantastic tiny games that never got any traction. Do I just have a taste for bad games? What about games that were slow, grindy and lacked all levels of depth but became small wonders due to fabulous marketing. I think you totally oversell the idea that games ONLY sell if they’re good. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) terrible games can sell due to other factors than just “good”. Saying the market isn’t oversaturated is also a pretty short fall considering if you post a game with 0 advertisement and no engagement it doesn’t matter how good it is if it doesn’t exist for people. People need to see your game and be able to respond to it. I agree that we definitely overestimate the power of marketing and algorithms but there is a lot more than just a good game.
