My indie game I worked on for 10 years was immediately bumped off of New & Trending by @EA spam releasing 11 titles at once.

The game looks as good as you expect
Here is a video of her crying in tiktok about it

LOL. Tough break for this lady, but this kind of release schedule from a company like EA is super rare. Can't think of another time something like this has happened actually.
Anyway, implying sexism is the cause of her game getting bumped off the list is lame and makes me lose any sympathy I might have had for her.

10 years!? If you take 10 years to produce that kind of low-effort slop you deserve every 1-star review you get.
Edit: the youtube video comments are hilarious

I mean, for a single-person effort if they have a regular job, making a wholeass game is pretty cool. This game, however, does not look very cool.

Darn that sucks. Is it possible to cancel or reschedule a release on Steam?

I doubt EA even knows she exists, so why is she spinning this as them deliberately squashing her?

You know this exists because of this "squashing" so it's actually smart of her to cry on tiktok about it

Part of picking a great launch date would involve you looking at what dates other studios are releasing games so you can avoid that. But thats what smart people do.

The game doesn't look that bad for something on a 10 year old engine made by a single person, and I feel bad for her that EA did that even if it wasn't on purpose. Atleast she got a good ending with a viral tweet!

I mean, the game doesn't look THAT bad. For a one-person newbie doing this for 10 year, I am more impressed that she had something to show.
It's just bad luck that EA decided to put its classics on Steam on the same day. Tough break, but her getting so mad over it makes the whole thing funny.

BIPOC what it looks like a flash game from 2010 and she wants $20 dollars and simpathy for spending 10 years on it. she probably could have done better just using rpg maker lol

You're not wrong. My sense are just very dulled from seeing all the shovelwares on Steam. Her wanting sympathy is absolutely the worst part of the equation.

Hey, I saw that you just joined rdrama and a group of people who hate me are trying to smear my name by calling me a date male feminist. I just wanted to let you know that it's not true. If you want all the receipts proving it they're right here.
The TL;DR is that I hooked up with one of the hot girls on rdrama, and since I was twice her age, a lot of the guys here who wanted to bang her got jealous and assumed that the only way I could have managed that was by raping her, even though she herself said both before and afterwards that it was all completely consensual. So now that you're the new hot girl on rdrama, I guess they think that I'm going to somehow seduce you into flying all the way across the country (or some crazy shit like that) to hook up with me and they're trying to talk shit about me to make sure that doesnt happen. I don't understand it either, but I just wanted to let you know that I'm a nice guy and I hope you'll look at the evidence and make up your own mind instead of listening to all the jealous haters.
Anyway, with that little intro out of the way, welcome to rdrama! The culture's a little rough here and you're probably going to get tons of requests to •show boobsU but if you talk to some of the women here first before engaging with all the creepy dudes, they'll give you some good advice to avoid stalkers and predators. Or (If you haven't been scared off by the rumor mill) you're welcome to ask me and I'm happy to help.
Just out of curiosity, how did you find this place?
