I've always wanted to mess around with RPG Maker. I remember being a kid and wanting to get it for the PS1. I don't even remember how I found out about the game, but I'm guessing it was from a magazine.

My cousin gave me his copy of RPG maker for PS2, I played with it a bit but I didn't want to sink too much time into it.

I’ve used XP, VX, and MV

Same here, it makes me wonder just how many indie games were made with RPG maker. On Itch.io they have over 10,000 games listed under "Top games made with RPG maker". I'm sure there's more than that though since the engine is old.

Oof, while that is good at the same time I imagine a lot of those go unplayed by people.

It’s pretty popular for amateur game developers. The problem is that because it’s so easy to make a basic bitch game with it, it gives the software a bad rep. People LOATH RPG Maker games.

Yeah that's the problem with these easy tools, people can make slop and thus many people don't want to play any game made with it lol. I suppose the same thing can be said for games made entirely with AI.
