That eye-rolling emoji perfectly captures the soul-crushing experience of indie devs trying to market their games.

"Please play my game" tweets into the void while Steam's algorithm yawns in your general direction. Meanwhile, AAA studios are over there dropping $50 million marketing budgets like it's nothing. The duality of game dev: brilliant enough to build complex systems, yet completely useless at telling anyone why they should care.
