A) flashy, loud, snippy content that works on people with no attention span or who are easily amused like kids (and annoys everyone else)
And B) clickbait-type, over-the-top content and games that no one else does - the sorts of things that, even if not high-brow, are still interesting. For example, blowing up a Lambrogini appealing to the action-movie lizard-brain, or a giant game of hide and seek appealing to the sort of person who daydreams about how to survive a zombie apocalypse.
Basically, its the peak of broad-appeal, low-brow, high effort/production value media.

I like both, but as others have said, the apm focus in RTS games really puts a cap on my enjoyment of the genre. In theory, I should love the genre, and I usually like the single player Campaigns or skirmishes against bots, but as soon as apm becomes a significant factor, I lose interest. Maybe I should learn some with a pause function, so I can see how I feel about those.

Haven't played the game, but the temple and submarine environments shown here are pretty iconic.
Just a few days ago, I wrote a comment about how you would theoretically try and become a significant competitor to Steam, and one of the points I raised was that Steam's storefront and recommendations are very generous (compared to others). It makes a huge difference that even indie games can appear on the front page regularly, both improving user and dev experiences. Players find games that they enjoy, while devs pay a very small amount to get effective, targetted advertisements.
What do you mean still? So far as I can tell, its not even available for pre-order yet. Its purely closed beta for media.
This is whats keeping me from full-committing to Lemmy. I get most of my news from other sources, and I'm not a Linux user or IT specalist, so theres really not much content here for me. The communities on Reddit I was most involved in were mostly for specific games or niche areas within gaming like VR, or for acedemic topics and discussions like history. Here on Lemmy, theres is effectively none of that aside from some history memes largely reposted from Reddit by a few very dedicated users (although thank you to those users). Even really large games like Dota, and CS, both of which lend themselves well to sharing content, discussion, and general lifestyle adoption of the game have nothing here on Lemmy, nonetheless single-player games like Half-Life.
Its still stupid and anticompetitive that Epic is allowed to dictate where the game is sold, but at least they're letting the developer sell it on their own page now, without all of Epic's shit.
