BTW, there were recently many videos made of "game scams" or "fake games" talking about games quickly made in Epic games asset srtore, where the main argument always is, that the games aren't "real" because they are barebones, or just aren't what the trailer would imply.

But, I feel quite uncomfortable with this kind of thinking. And I think, that Pal world ironically enough hit the exacr inflection point between an asset swap and AAA game, where I can kinda see both sides of the argument.
The game is fun. I do not believe, it will be a 40 or 400 hours fun, but the base mechanics are entertaining enough, to give you a unique experience. So, by one definition, it absolutely is a game.
But, the true question is, is the money invested by players to the game will be used to develop it further. Because, while I am happy with a short experience kind of games, (Roark's Attack on Titan Fan Game being a great example), I can see why this would feel like a scam to others.
So, I believe, that we are in fact missing a kind of vocabulary needed to describe a depth of a game. Because, the depth can no longer be recognized by a single glance.

Excuse my rant. I am just not sure what to think about this topic myself TBH. Expecially, since I still am having more fun, then I would have playing for instance new Assassins creed. A game, that although, it is supposed to have all the depth in the world, considering it's budget... It feels still more shallow then this one.
After a recent incident and the feeling that I seem to drive people away whenever they actually get to know me, I’m on the verge of just quitting the internet altogether.
I feel like the world would be better without me, and that my presence just seems to unintentionally hurt others.
So if I vanish from Twitter, Reddit, Facebook, YouTube, Mastodon, etc, that’s why.
Goodbye.
"All authority in heaven and earth has been given to me."
Jesus' authority comes not from power threatening brutality (that's the way of Rome), but from the self-giving, other-focused love of the eternal community of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Authority comes from a loving life lived for others.
So, the shamed, slandered, and murdered Jesus doesn't use this authority to seek revenge. Instead, he says, in essence, "Go to your enemies and help them enter and enjoy this same community of love."

@inthehands , as a former math professor who worked at big research universities, tiny liberal arts places, and now as a professional, in-the-trenches programmer, I have so many thoughts about...the higher educational enterprise, both from a more research-oriented and liberal arts oriented angle...vocational/techincal/practical education...and the everyday practice of just shipping some code and working with others.
So I have a good, broad perspective, I think.
I'll summarize my reaction to your thread very simply as: YES!
