Balatro is the objectively correct choice.
Because the Game Awards hates indie games.
That is no indie game.
I don't know about that. I am saying, that I wouldn't count It Takes Two as an indie title.
Yeah, absolutely. Just for me, this feels like a typical AA game. Indie is more like Noita, Mouthwashing or Vampire Survivors. But you are right, there are no definitive borders or anything.
"Indie game" is not a genre...
Having connections is not the same as having a major publisher. Something isn't indie because it's a genre or just a small group of people.
It's people like you who try to muddy that.
It's not a debate.
You're robbing the right to exist as indie games from actual indie games, allow corporations to make games like Dave the Diver take the spotlight away from real independent developers, simply because corporations are becoming wise to masquerading as an indie game.
Have a terrible week. You're a bad person.
That a good thing you realize you are spreading unnecessary toxicity.
We all got shitty days, we all make mistakes, what important is to admit them and learn from them. Not even the community moderation is immune to that, I got some example in my own moderation history :D
I'm pretty sure the last part is not necessary. Fighting toxicity with more toxicity will only do harm to the community.
