The present situation in the game industry lead us to do that note looking to the future as peripheral game developers under the economic crisis and the pandemics.

The current release of that AAA game for 2020 but in 2077 is an alert to all game industry and gamers - the AAA model is in check. And as minor actors and gamers we need to rethink the whole paradigm. The dreams about a huge open world RPG are not ethically viable by the nowaday’s game industry logic. Remember the game with the 76 too.

As indie developers we need to build our utopias and dystopias together. We need to improve our indie networks valuing local illustrators, local producers, local workers from all areas. We need to value our professionals, we need to value the considered low-rank professionals of the game industry - the "juniors" of the QA. That low-rank area of our industry is underestimated, traditionally the game tests are a work for newbies or for friends/parents/interns.
