I don't know if anyone here has spent much time on Gamejolt, the Yoyogames Sandbox and Itch.io. Among the stuff in these there are many games that try and fail to emulate other titles. Games that claim to be for an audience, but are (clearly) for the author. Games that look, sound and act for seemingly no reason.

Sometimes I get a sense of joy from those more than from competent works. I feel, but am not sure that the concept of compersion is an apt discription in those cases.
