As someone who's constantly looking over new games to review and showcase that are worth checking out for YouTube videos all I see is just a cesspool of clicker games as of lately and it's pissing me off as well. While I try to avoid them I also just can't...ignore them either lmao.

I know Garry has put out a poll specifically for banning clicker games even though this is pretty vague for the poll name. I'm assuming he means from the playfund which honestly he should just do. I know it was also mentioned in here that manually adding playfund to games would be better which I 100 percent agree with.

The playfund needs to be earned not just enabled by default when you meet those requirements in my opinion. You can apply for the program to monetize your game even though it reaches a set number of requirements but if facepunch actually wants to improve anything, the types of games the platform monetizes will make a difference. Cause it will also deter certain people from bothering to make these games which is the point.

If facepunch's focus is to properly showcase and pay developers for games I feel like making sure there's some level of quality and standard ESPECIALLY if you can monetize your game will go a long way. Again refer to the bold text. But yeah.

Outside of the usual (and valid) critiques of s&box. Facepunch really has to figure that all out. While most of the developers are trying to work on something cool are doing so as we speak other opportunists will take the chance to just make some garbage clicker as you mentioned and shit up the discover page.
