Indie Devs Urged to Avoid Genre Love Letters

@THELUOK stated that indie devs need to start being inspired by things that are not other video games and added they do not want to see one more love letter to the genre. A quote of the post noted that gaming discourse often meets such statements with claims of contempt for the medium, despite past acceptance of cross-medium inspiration. Other visible replies included users laughing at the reactions and one defending their criticism by saying they play the games they call out.
