I really hate the homogenization of media under capitalism.

Not every game needs to be all action

Not every game needs to be a visual novel

And that's good. We need different genres for different people.

But no, we'll get people who will buy a game and be like "I don't like this genre, change it to the genre I like at the moment" instead of giving something new a try, or god forbid, sticking to the games they like.

For example, I do not like Fortnite. I will never play Fortnite, it just doesn't interest me. Do I demand Fortnite change to be more like the games I do like? No. Do I mock people who like it? No. I shut the fuck up and play Disco Elysium or Pizza Tower or some other dumb shit I like.

I really, really, do not want games to all be the same. I love jumping from genre to genre. I want Mario to be a platformer and Baldurs Gate to be an CRPG because it is way more interesting and diverse that way.

Yeah, just make every game have about 5 hours of high effort Yuri VN content with really good 2d models and just the right balance of smut.
