the word 'pretentious' gets thrown around a lot about video games but, uh, yeah

Pretty much, most gamers don't even know what the words means, but ToT have always been so pretentious that I suspected that they were trolling. They've also never seemed to have any love for the medium despite claiming that they wanted to push its boundaries.

They got no one to blame but themselves because they've always been pretentious hacks and more than enough devs are doing what they tried to do far better.

I said come in! posted:

So basically Tale of Tales closed not because they made games in an unprofitable genre, but because they made stupid lovely games.

Exactly, nowadays narrative driven games have gotten much more popular than they were in the past and if your game is well-written enough and works well with the gameplay word will go around.
