Because lethal company is a much more fun game than anything the big guys are putting out and it only costs 10 bucks

Same with Battlebit, that's $15.

It's annoying seeing people buy the same copy paste games from AAA companies then complain that games aren't good anymore. Like no shit, you just preordered it without even looking at a review

Top heavy teams suffer the problem of play it safe don't innovate mentality. Especially if a publisher is pulling the strings.
