Riches states, "You can have the best marketing, you can have the best game, you can get rave reviews, but you're still flipping a coin as to whether it's going to blow up." This highlights the uncertainty in game success despite quality.
Adam points out, "discoverability" is a major hurdle for indie developers, particularly on platforms like Steam where thousands of new games launch each year, complicating visibility.
Despite a crowded landscape and declining game sales, Adam Riches notes that "more games than ever are getting released," leading to increased competition among developers.
Riches describes the current gaming industry climate as making it feel like "everything is on fire at the moment," referring to ongoing layoffs and studio closures alongside diminished player spending.
