I don’t get the sleep token hype. They seemed to be loved by the metal core audience but aren’t metal core at all. Nothing like BMTH, Bad Omens etc. I can accept that yall love them. But the genre bluring is ruining my algo.

Start ups, charities and NGOs always pay the lowest because you’re doing it for the cause and they don’t have the funding. But also have a high failure rate. Probably costing more. If you pay for the talent up front. You’ll have a better chance at success and save money.

This applies across gaming and tech and other things. Being a fanboy for 1 product is fine. Provided it’s your choice. Shaming others for buying another product isn’t fine. You’re being a bigot.

Some video game influencers hit a certain point where it feels like they don’t like anything. I’ve got a certain podcast which has a semi regular guest who seems to hate everything they play and dominates the conversation with their negativity. Even if other hosts have spoken positively about it

We're stoked to introduce the 'No Gen AI' seal for indie games! Indie devs can use it on their game's store page to assure potential players that their game was made without the use of Generative AI. You can grab it from the Polygon Treehouse website:- www.polygon-treehouse.com/no-gen-ai-seal
