Will GTA Affect The Solo/Indie Developer?
I've seen three mega launches of GTA over the years. Niche games can thrive, UGC games are dead for 3-4 months, AAA-AA games have no chance; iii games and friendslop will hit in spikes.

Haha i needed to hear that. I feel more prolific and creative than ever. Im more eager to learn so I think 50 causes ego to wane and fires up our curiosity maybe a bit more.

I think that these talented people will follow others paths into personality journalism and redefine games journalism for the next 10 years. These corporations are cooked.

Until the valuation goes up and the company uses those procedes to build a sustainable and well compensated workforce…but that’s the part that never happens. They wind up, ship, RIF, then wind up again 6-12 months later losing all the institutional value that the original team delivered in the game.

My brother Mark passed away last Saturday. Mark bought me my first computer to game on, the Commodore 64. He passed down his 1st edition D&D books (which I lost 😞 ). I found among his personal items, build notes for Fallout 4. Weird to think that he can live on forever in this virtual world.

It is an absolute failure of the large companies to create models that retain talent and maximize shareholder value. These things just don’t vibe. This is the best time in games industry history to make a game for yourself or with a small team. If you cant count on a career then bet on yourself

I found it more profound, quirky and anchored by a believable powerful character arc for the priest. The “whodunit” was weaker than others in the genre but it was truly entertaining and I didnt mind Benoit being more of a supporting character

There are people that I have known for 20-25 years almost exclusively online. The community and the closeness is powerful even with the virtual distance. Being a pr sometimes means being transactional but hopefully the people I work with have sense of me as a person and a door opener/advisor

I listen to mostly music from bands that I see live several times a year. I know these people and its a lot of bands and singers. The connection and fandom is real. I don’t consume, i do tv and film, but music is much more of a spiritual connection. Real energy.

Critique is a media product, like previews, interviews and such. I think in social spaces backlash is definitely going to occur but on site, opinion should be embraced when its delivered with respect for the minor miracle for getting anything made these days.
