That's because the big budget creators are very good at business, which has four parts[1]: not just the product, but also the revenue model, the market, and distribution.

Big budget studios are AMAZING at distribution. They blow indie devs out of the water, who focus almost all their effort on just product.

Do big budget studios often make great games? Yes! But they often produce total garbage, too, just like indie devs. I think the biggest difference between them is distribution.

How has IH been going post-split from Stripe? I have not visited in a while but I'm curious on your thoughts. Also, if you are in or hosting any NYC-related events, I would love to join.

    It's been going well! Not profitable yet, but spending more time on it in 2025, so it will be soon I think.

    I'll actually be in NYC visiting Channing this coming week, perhaps we'll do an impromptu event for IHers in the area
