Vampire Survivors developer and creator, poncle, has taken a shot against the larger blight on this industry, that being popular publishers and what they do with games. He is right about this, because publishers often try to take a ton of money cut from the developers who made the games in the first place, which is completely unfair. Many times, people would keep considering that publishers are developers, and this happened because publishers often take all the credit while developers are merely treated as footnotes to the success of a popular game series. Today, indie games are rising against the corporations.
Vampire Survivors creator drops a truth bomb
Vampire Survivors has been with us for quite a while now, it feels as if it was yesterday that the game dropped on Steam and took the world by storm. This game was designed with casino logic in mind, but it was applied in such a way that its not harming anyone, nobody is betting and everyone is just having fun with a cool game. There has been tons of updates, collaborations, and even events related to the game that made it become even more popular as time went on, now people are expecting a new crossover wondering which series will be next.
The popularity of poncle’s game has proven that one does not need a publisher to have success in the industry, and with enough marketing, luck and youtubers by your side you can move a huge indie empire that takes over all the communication and ad revenue to expand further into the sphere of popularity. The developer or Vampire Survivors knew this right, and with the cheap price of 1 dollar you could get a ton of content, many youtubers said that in the past and it still remains relevant even today. Indie games are the future after all.
