Important #indiedev / #gamedev tip: Youtubers and streamers may avoid your game if any audio gets flagged by YT's automated copyright system (Content-ID). Check this by uploading the soundtrack as an unlisted video and wait a couple hours for it to scan. I learned this the hard way on my first demo.

AI creates jobs?

The ad algorithm knows too much

The tension and comparison between "indie devs" and "AAA devs" exists only in the minds of gamers (derogatory) and armchair devs who play the vicissitudes of the game industry as a hipster class warfare. Indie devs and AAA devs are often only separated by career decisions and the fortunes of fate.

The budget can't budge if not set up to a t.
