Games like Among Us, RV There Yet, Peak, Lethal Company, etc. I don't mind them so long as there's no woke elements to them, though I've never actually played any of them myself. I have two groups of streamers that I like (Fooster/Fisk/Olafpawbelt and Splitsie/Capac/TFE/Shack) that play them from time to time and it's pretty enjoyable watching them. These sorts of games strike me as games that are more meant to be watched than played yourself. I doubt many of them sell that many units, and they typically are only popular for a couple of weeks before being replaced by the next one.
I bet a lot of copies sold are people who think 'oh man, this looked like fun when I saw $streamer play it, I can't wait to play it with my friends' and then they never do. They seem to be pretty cheap, so if an indie dev can provide a few weeks of enjoyment for $9.99, honestly there are worse ripoffs in the gaming world.
Yeah, that’s what it was supposed to mean, basically just a faster way to say shovelware.
