Nailed it, this is an ad for their company, that's all the poll is, and of course it backs up the purpose of the company, almost like they set out from the beginning to create a poll with the results they wanted. Once they did that, they fired up their email (or hired a PR company) and spammed every news outlet they could to get them to cover. Steamdeckhq was dumb enough to take the bait, literally advertising this company for free, and OP continued that idiocy by posting here.

Rockstar Games fires over 30 employees, all were part of pro-union Discord group, "one of the most blatant and ruthless acts of union busting in the history of the games industry"

Schreier couldn't be bothered to list what the employees positions were. Gonna take a wild guess they weren't devs. Even better, the union Discord clearly has a leak. Now that's how you protect workers, amiright, unless these employees were dumb enough to spread the word at work

I didn't say there aren't any good games. I said I wish there were too many

Are there too many quirky games like Jumping Flash and Katamari. Nope

Are there too many games like Gran Tourismo that aren't pay to win slop. Nope, and that sadly includes Gran Tourismo. As a matter of fact there are hardly any quality racing games at all

Are there too many games like Dead or Alive/Soulcalibur? Big ol nope

Are there too many games like the OG Jak and Daxter? Nope

Are there too many games like Metal Gear Solid? Hard no

Are there too many games like Advance Wars? Nope

Are there too many games like MDK? No no and no

Are there too many games like Fallout 3? No

Are there too many games like Portal? No

Are there too many games like Mass Effect? Nope

Are there too many games like Wow? Nope, just a tiny selection of clones

Are there too many games like Final Fantasy with turn-based combat? Nope, not even Final Fantasy, and the majority of good turn-based JRPGs are remakes

I could easily go on. However, the point is made.

So, as I was saying, I wish there were too many good games. Sadly, the majority is middle-of-the-road indies recycling and combining played-out genres, and AAA horseshit. And that's why they aren't selling or gaining traction; people don't want them. That isn't a problem of too many games; it's an industry problem of pushing out too much junk. If they wanna make more sales, they should get back to making good games that aren't a pale imitation of better games from decades past.
