@lanodan Apparently, France is banning gatherings in some places due to the heat.
@lanodan Did they put lockdowns in your area?
@PhenomX6 @ryo @luithe Sony has always been somewhat indie friendly even going back to the PS1 with their Net Yeroze consumer devkit and Sony was friendly towards homebrew developers with an official Linux distro for the PS2.
Nintendo, on the other hand seemed out right hostile towards indies up until the later years of the Wii U because they were the only devs keeping the system afloat besides Ubisoft and Nintendo themselves. WiiWare in particular had a 10MB file size limit (mostly due to the limited space on the Wii's NAND) and a huge chunk of the games on there were literally ports of popular flash games. Super Meat Boy was planned to be a WiiWare exclusive but they couldn't get the game under that filesize limit so it got ported to everything else.
@PhenomX6 @ryo @luithe Does Microsoft not care about indies anymore? They were the first to embrace it all the way back in the Xbox 360 era with XBLA and XNA. But they killed the XNA framework nearly a decade ago and turned a blind eye to their indie program on Xbox One like you said.
Now, the Switch seems to be the most indie friendly console. Which is ironic because Nintendo was pretty indie unfriendly during the 7th-gen (WiiWare had a 10MB limit and there was that Bob's Game fiasco).
@EdBoatConnoisseur @ChristiJunior @JapanAnon @Tamamo @TN @Yakotarun I don't care about Sega's origins. The original Phantasy Star series will always be my favorite JRPG franchise. Modern Sega can fuck off though.
