For @mothership.blog, I talked to over a dozen caretakers about the reality of being a caretaker while working in games. The short of it? It's *very* difficult. Here's a glimpse of the current experience, its consequences, and coveted standardized practices: www.mothership.blog/the-games-in...

mothership.blog

The games industry isn't taking care of its caretakers

We spoke with over a dozen devs who take care of children, aging parents, and sick family members

I've been talking about this with some people, and I really think this might happen, and I'm going to do my part as well to make it so. 2026 the year of anthologies and magazines and building communities through making things together.

We don't get a lot of data about the gender breakdown of specific games, so I wanted to graph the ratio of female to male players for games released on Sega Channel. The data is from a document acquired by the Video Game History Foundation: archive.gamehistory.org/item/0bb0d61...

A graph showing the relative number of female to male players of Sega Channel games.
