With development costs rising, we need to make games based on user feedback, not numbers and data from the past, says NEXON Games executive (automaton-media.com)

Indie games are currently in problems starting early this year, https://www.pushsquare.com/news/2024/03/game-pass-woes-for-indie-devs-as-microsoft-epic-funding-reportedly-drying-up

Honestly, very few of the indie games release with microsoft and Epic banking are truly good. The best indie games right now are the ones released and self-published through steam, you just have to find the ones you like. Steam Next Fest is a good start if you don't know where to look. The next one starts next monday, October 14th.

What did they do before Game Pass and Epic?

Self-fund or kick-start and hope (and beg) some YTer plays their game and it explodes.
