You know that one indie dev friend who won't shut up about their "cozy farming sim with roguelike elements"? Yeah, they've used the word "cozy" approximately 47 times in the last 10 minutes. The gaming industry has collectively decided that "cozy" is the magic word that makes investors throw money at you and players smash that wishlist button. It's gotten to the point where even survival horror games are being pitched as "cozy existential dread simulators."
The real kicker? It works. Slap "cozy" on literally anything—fishing, cooking, tax filing, debugging segmentation faults—and suddenly you've got a viable game concept. The word has been so overused it's lost all meaning, but game devs keep reaching for it like it's the only adjective in the English language. Meanwhile, the rest of us are sitting here wondering when "cozy battle royale" is gonna drop.
