you know, we talk a lot about "writing reviews for a game is valuable because it makes more people play that game" and about "writing reviews for a game is nice because it makes the dev happy"
but how often do we talk about "writing reviews is good because it helps the dev to make more games in a very material way"
in a very real way writing reviews on steam/itch/anywhere else + posting on games on social media and everything can translate into evidence a dev can use to get the support they need for more games
PARTICULARLY if the game was free. if not us has got over 10,000 downloads now with the itch bundle but it's actually really hard to translate that into some sort of capital I can use for my next game
