NES Commando (Cmd Dennis) retweetet
This is something we don't do very often, but for once, we're going to share our opinion and how we feel:
While it's always appreciated to see people spend time writing articles about the homebrew scene, we can't help but feel a bit sad reading this one: tedium.co/2025/04/24/hom…
Towards the end of it, you can read: "Please support these creators and buy their work! A lot of effort goes into making these games and most makers strive to make them as available as possible for purchase."
We totally agree with this statement, but then, why not add useful information to support them, in the article, as done for the other studios mentioned?!
We'll fix this in a minute, but before we want to add something else.
Broke Studio is mentioned once in the article, which is always nice of course, but a link to the website (brokestudio.fr) is always appreciated, even if it's currently under construction. We've been around for 8 years now, supporting developers and helping the community, a link when we're mentioned is all we ask for 🙂
Finally, we regret that Homebrew Factory isn't mentioned at all. We recently set up this service to help creators release their game physically and we have already successfully helped 4 of them! It's also the new online shop for all the amazing games sold by Broke Studio that are mentioned in the article.
Unfortunately it's not the first time we feel a bit left behind which definitely didn't help when we read the article. We've always done our very best to provide a fair and humane service to promote and give visibility to independent creators, so if you feel like sending some love back, let us know in the comments, it'll be really appreciated.
