Those were Xbox Live Indie Game (XBLIG) and unfortunately, that 'service'' has been shutdown by Microsoft but fortunately there's no shortage on poo poo on Steam, as Bloody Boobs has shown us

Is XBox live indie games even a thing anymore? They could do it with Steam Greenlight I guess.

I bet it's the same kinda poo poo there now as there ever was, so maybe they can't really find anything new? Unity asset flips are the new bottom-barrel crap anyway, and they've been doing those here and there for a while now.

loving up is how we grow and learn, man, don't worry about that. In fact, if you say something wrong and someone else convinces you it was wrong, they don't think you're bad for being wrong, they'll like that you could admit it and were listening enough to be convinced.

I thought the implication was that Eric just did the same trick later and just never turned in your footage, but this plot is going 100 mph so hell if I know.

If I'm remembering right, at the end of the game he flat out taunts you with the video saying he never released the footage.
As much of a poo poo as he is, Eric does actually have skateboarding skills. And I don't think anyone mentions a helicopter (at least I didn't notice any mentions of it) when talking about his video, so him redoing the stunt isn't that crazy of an idea.

Yeah, I always assumed, since the other guy doesn't mention that Eric done it over a helicopter, that Eric had just came back later and done the same spot.

Greenlight isn't dead yet and there's no guarantee that the new system will substantially reduce the amount of crap released on Steam because Valve genuinely doesn't give a gently caress.

Either way, there's always itch.io which is completely unfiltered and mostly amateur/game jam projects of dubious quality.

i'm pretty sure boosting the submission fee from 500 to 5000 will definitely cut down on a lot of the poo poo actually

Yeah it blows for the actual small team/1 person devs trying to make something neat, just another time you can thank shifty assholes like DigiHom and those similar groups who pumped out hundreds of asset flips and zero effort clones for poisoning the well.

We still don't know how large the fee is going to be, do we? Unless something's changed, they've only said that they've had suggestions as high as $5000 and for some reason everyone decided to assume that's the final number.

It'll reduce the blatant return-on-investment asset flips games but it won't stop the naive amateurs who are really proud about the garbage they make, or the devs whose garbage panders to a hyper-specific niche that doesn't give a gently caress. Unless Valve starts manually and individually vetting games (which they will never do and I'm not sure I'd even trust them to do) there will always be more than enough poo poo to laugh at.

To be fair, it just works better with Tony because skateboarding has more of an inherent connotation of teenage rebellion than either basketball or hockey do, so it makes for a bigger contrast. With Jordan they usually rely more on gambling addiction jokes

also yes, he did, and just over a year ago. He worked with a team of designers to create a custom ramp to do it in too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaf8zHp-iaY&t=1s

Oh yeah totally, but that's just him re-hashing the 900 from 1999 to prove he's still got it.

It doesn't help that Tony still talks and dresses like a 21-year-old, despite looking very much his age.
