You start building something weird and beautiful… then a trend hits.

Suddenly everyone’s playing something you never expected — battle royales, auto-battlers, cozy pixel games. And the devs who jumped on it? They’re making millions. You sit there thinking: should I drop everything and pivot?

Part of me resists. I want to make something different, unexpected. But maybe there’s a smart way to ride a trend without losing your soul?

I’m torn. I know some of you must feel the same.

So tell me — what’s your take?

• Are trends a trap for originality?
• Or are they just shortcuts to visibility in a crowded market?

Depends how you define success.
