In an intriguing turn of events, indie developer Petter Malmehed has identified a surprising factor contributing to the decline of his puzzle game, After Hours, on Steam: the communication skills of younger players. As reviews for the game have dropped, Malmehed discovered that many players were struggling with the in-game email system, primarily due to a lack of familiarity with traditional email etiquette. This revelation sheds light on a broader issue within the gaming community, where effective communication is essential for gameplay success.
