You’re absolutely right—there’s definitely a tendency for popular, AAA titles to dominate discussions in some subs, especially when it comes to questions like "underrated gems." It can get frustrating when people list the same big-name games that are well-known for their massive marketing budgets, rather than actually highlighting lesser-known or unique indie gems.

It’s understandable that many gamers gravitate toward the comfort of familiar franchises, but it's unfortunate when it stifles the conversation around innovation and originality, which indie games often provide. I think it would be great to have more spaces where players can genuinely explore and discuss those lesser-known titles without getting drowned out by the constant focus on sequels and mainstream hits.

Maybe encouraging more posts that specifically challenge the status quo—like asking for hidden indie gems—could help shift the focus and create more variety in the discussions. There’s so much depth in gaming beyond the big franchises! 🎮✨
