If it's not some new clone open world first person crafting survival, it's another "farming" crafting "cozy" game.

THESE GAMES ARE ALREADY BEEN BUILT. STOP ALREADY. PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD MAKE SOMETHING NEW, UNIQUE.

Man I hate these type of games sooooooooo much and they'r always a real pain in the ass to train for some reason..... I second that PLEASE COME UP WITH SOMETHING NEW this isn't only boring but we have more than enough of these types.

you want something that requires thought from the devs? all I've been seeing is the same ol' stuff with a different skin from a "different" dev

The state of the gaming industry is somewhat ironic IMO. AAA companies have no innovation/creativity and indies are supposed to be the solution to the problem, at least that's what gamers are hoping. Yet, we now have a situation where there is a large number of indies doing the same types of games as AAA, but with even less budget and qc.

I'm somewhat convinced that it's all just a cashgrab scheme to capitalize on the burgeoning demand for such games, without any actual plan or even skills to bring it to fruition. Case in point, Starforge, one of the first few greenlit games that garnered a lot of hype. I remembered a lot of folks were coping hard for years - "Yeah, game is **** now but there's a lot of POTENTIAL!". "Potential" is overused to cover up a lot of such games.

you can forget the "surprise Mechanics" (loot boxes) battle passes or other stuff that should've been released when the game was released in single player games

In other news the steam farming fest is currently active so theres MUCH MORE farming sims to look forward to! Yeah!
