I’m not sure about anyone else, but I found there to be a lot of homogeneity here. The games that were the most up my alley were the ones I’d already heard of, but there were a lot of Vampire Survivors-inspired games and city builders.

This idea of triple I is going to be corrupted and backfire if it becomes organized. What I mean is that instead of great games like Stardew or Terraria (just to name 2 as examples) being labeled as triple I, we will instead get Ubisoft marketing their next open world as triple I only because it is based on a “new” IP. That new IP will likely be a warrior type character fighting for justice while assembling a crew of interesting characters to help them in their mission in a never before seen world filled with friends and foes alike… Blah blah blah.

Triple I will soon mean triple A, but for new IP. Triple I should be a designation bestowed by the community on outstanding indie games. It should be subjective and unregulated, otherwise it will lose its meaning and that’s exactly what large studio’s want.
