No chance. Games will only grow. With so many good free engines, I cannot see people stopping making games.

I think with hardware, people bought PCs during the pandemic, and after (when GPU's became available), and after that, they had done their hardware refresh. Some of the bump from the year 2022 was likely because of people finally being able to get hold of their hardware. Because of the backlog catch up, 2023 would inevitably be a drop. Now they have a PC, the only question is whether you need a better monitor to support the hardware, and that would explain the growth of it now.

The only thing happening in the games industry is layoffs due to high interest rates. If interest rates are 2% and you make a 5% ROI, you make a profit. If interest rates are 8%, you're making a loss, so investment in games or any software ain't great at times of high interest. It'll likely bounce back as interest rates drop. I just hope more jobs are built within the indie sector rather than AAA.

The difference is, actors do it out of choice, and through power. If the gig workers are doing it through no choice and because employers don't want to give them the same benefits as permanent employees, it's exploitative.

Thanks for tagging as self-promotion. Good luck with the sale.

I only really play singleplayer. I go at my own pace and experience it as I want to.

Look great. Really appreciating the work you are doing and you sharing it with us.

Most of those communities seem to have a header that divides it from the community above, but with the godot one, there is less contrast. Would it help to have a small padded divider of a different colour between it and the one above to clearly separate the community info?

It's highly rated. I personally found it quite difficult and a wee bit too frustrating.

Minetest, and in particular MineClone2. Always someone playing multiplayer also which is quite nice.

Mindustry is good fun also :)

Why? It's simply owned to spew out content and make money. EA is perfect for it.

Something up to date with a newer kernel. Wine devs say that's best to get updates and benefits quicker given how things are changing quickly.

Given that, I'd say Open Suse, Arch or Fedora. I use Open Suse and am very happy with it. Meets my indie gaming needs.

There is a nether outpost which is a 2 floor small building with blaze spawners and netherwart. The problem of larger structures is yet to be solved.
