There\u2019s no denying the fact that every new video game released meets with an over-saturated market and may well go unnoticed, as a consequence. To put it into perspective, a reported 10,696 individual games were released to Steam in 2021, an increase of 3,151% over the same figure for 2011. For many indie developers, this is an impossible scenario, as there\u2019s simply no more room in players\u2019 schedules for new games. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just like books and movies, a title can mean everything. Being able to get a unique moniker in front of a few eyes can make the difference between success and a lifetime spent wondering what could have been. On the AAA scene, NieR: Automata is a good example of a game with an original title. However, the later DLC named 3C3C1D119440927 is perhaps a bit too brave for most players\u2019 tastes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is a method in that particular bit of madness, though. NieR\u2019s DLC title is actually a bit of a laundry list of what\u2019s contained within it, namely, three costumes (3C), three arenas or colosseums (3C), and one new in-game dream (1D). The final sequence of numbers is simply the date on which the game takes place, the 27th of September in the far-flung year 11,944. <\/p>\n\n\n
