    After PokemonGo - a rink-a-dink micro-transaction wait and click game - rocketed to the top of the charts in 2019, is it any surprise that Vague Pokemon Pastiche on Arma gets you such a big return?

    Still not really feeling it, but nice to see an indie developer doing well.

    Wonder how long until the team lead goes insane and holes himself up in a bucker, like the guy who profited of Minecraft…

      No idea how the experience with Pokémon go was by 2019, but that summer it came out in 2016 was truly something special. I would go out with friends to play it and you’d run into other groups of people doing the same thing and form larger groups and just walk around and talk. The game itself was pretty meh but I met more real people playing it than any other actually “good” game.

        that summer it came out in 2016

        God damnit, 2016 and 2019 all happened in the same year, I refuse to believe otherwise.

        I would go out with friends to play it and you’d run into other groups of people doing the same thing and form larger groups and just walk around and talk. The game itself was pretty meh

        Right, but then the “meh” of the game meant the crowds went away and there wasn’t a bunch of goofy nerds around to talk to. It was just something you did silently on your phone in an elevator while your coworkers glared at you.

    It’s my kid’s favorite game right now. Half of our hangout time together is playing this game. It’s not that bad tbh.

      You’re forgiven for enjoying this game given that you have a kid soviet-playful

    I like how people were dissing this game before it came out, but now they’re probably playing it.

        I’m sticking with not playing it, but I also don’t have any strong feelings either way and I haven’t played any pokemon game since the original blue in an emulator on a windows 95 PC.

      It has boss fights / raids of your base like in Valheim but once you get your base setup and like 5-6 workers you only have to farm for specialty materials and they do the rest.
