The Powell Group looks like a much bigger player and are going to help out Sweet Baby Inc.
If Sweet Baby Inc are going to work thru The Powell Group that covers 500 publishers it will be hard to follow the trail.
I guess we could blacklist every publisher but 500 seems like a lot to follow.
I've got a couple of heuristics that help and kind of mitigate the need for things like SBI detected:
Cal arts or similar shitty art style? Ignore.
Received any awards from any "game festivals"? Ignore.
Marketing materials feature quotes from mainstream gaming publications? Ignore.
Female protagonist? Ignore, unless she looks traditionally beautiful, or shown to be actually sexy.
Black protagonists with dreadlocks? Ignore.
Black protagonists featured first? Ignore.
Yeah, this does catch some stuff that might actually not suck, but oh well. There's plenty of other stuff to play.
Plus Factorio: Space Age just came out so that should keep me occupied for the better part of 2025.
Its almost like that might be their goal? Hmm....
People will have a harder time confirming it was sweetbaby. But the games will still be obvious turds.
