What do you mean by "outcompete"? There've been some extremely successful small-studio games recently (the one that comes to mind is Silksong, which dropped last September)

> Yes, Troy existed - we know that because we found it.

We knew Troy existed long before that because it remained as a city at least into the 3rd century CE. We just didn't know which ruins it was.

> is a clear improvement

I remember going from usenet, with it's tree comments (when the worked) to flat forums and being annoyed at the change.

25+ years later flat threads are correct threads, and tree comments are just a bad idea.
