I'm joining the war on slop with cheap, fast flyer commissions. If you know someone who is asking the computer for event posters, tell them to ask me instead. Get the guarantee!
A poster mocked up as if it was offset printed in black and red roughly 60 years ago. The header reads "AVAILABLE NOW! FLYERS DESIGNED BY A HUMAN BEING!" and the subsequent text is pitching $50 flyer designs with a "SLOP-FREE GUARANTEE," incorporating some vintage Henry Volk clipart of people looking at a poster and saying how well it reflects on the event organizer.

Here's this same guy, Matt Karsh, who was personally responsible for shutting down some of the game studios Embracer killed over the last few years, saying HE QUIT BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T FIRE *ENOUGH* GAME DEVELOPERS FOR HIS LIKING www.gamedeveloper.com/business/sab...
But flip the coin over, and you'll find the former interim COO of Embracer, who took on the role of "the bad guy" when evaluating whether to shut down studios and cancel games. He said he reviewed many of the games in development at Embracer subsidiaries and identified a number that would have been "not good." "At that point you either put the team on something else, or you close down, or you reduce the team size," he said. "When money is tight, you have no choice."

He said he departed Embracer because he was "insistent" the company needed to do more of that. Certain studios, he said, should never have been started in the first place. He called out one subsidiary with a team of what he said were inexperienced developers that had never shipped a game before, pouring millions of dollars into a game licensed from a major franchise.

"After a long period of time, there was nothing really to show for it," he said. "Their goal was basically to start anew." He said it didn't give him any pleasure to argue that the studio had to be shut down.

(It's only the description that this studio was new and founded with people who "hadn't shipped a game before" that keeps it from sounding like Aspyr's ill-fated work on the remake of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. In a follow-up email a Saber spokesperson declined to state which studio Karch was referring to.)

July is Disability Pride Month! Join me in helping make a more accessible and inclusive future. Let's kick off the month with a small but useful thing: enabling the "Require alt text before posting" checkbox in BlueSky's Accessibility settings. It's sadly per-device, so remember it on new ones!
A screenshot showing my view of BlueSky's "Accessibility" settings page. Shown are two options, "Require alt text before posting" (checked) and "Display larger alt text badges" (unchecked in this screenshot, but also handy!).
