I don't see the newest video games as just "content" every game i play and want to play is because i truly enjoy the games and want to support the devs.
Always do your best to support indie games & just game creators in general
The content thing is so weird. Imagine if we could only read books that came out this year and earn clout if we started reading them on the day of publication.
Some of the new games are brilliant! However; I still play & support UO after it is nearly 27 yrs old! I've played and reported on it for 24+ years - always paying - to support a great industry creator! I play a lot of games, but I think supporting the game that created the industry is a good thing.
I believe all content creators should fully play through a game once off camera before milking it for clicks, views and especially to be the first one to post the ending and spoil it for everyone else
