btw Kanye did a song Heil Hitler and no one stepped in to oppose his tour(s), which is ongoing. In fact, Kanye is scheduled to perform at one of the stadiums Macklemore has been stopped from being at.

The video game industry has always been volatile (I published Press Reset in 2021!) but the skeleton key to understanding the current state of things is this: Big games now cost 10x to make what they did 15 years ago but most do not generate even close to 10x the revenue. Simple as that

some absolutely unreal comments on this, saying basically 'welcome to books', and I don't know how to tell people without being mean to authors that the amount of work and money that goes into your average indie game dwarfs the cost of a single author writing a book.

"Trends and numbers can tell you what’s happening right now. It can certainly help back up your decisions. But in my experience, success in video games comes from those who follow their instincts, and not from reading the latest market report, or LinkedIn think piece."

I spent a ton of hours in my office at Activision playing the OnLive version of Homefront in like 2011, likely caught Covid in early 2020 while playing Gylt on Stadia in a Santa Clara hotel bar, own a Luna controller, and have tried out every streaming service before and since and yes. Highly agree.

Just a PSA for all the other major publishers: You can’t make a GTA 6. Don’t have any meetings about it. Don’t put together any pitch decks. Don’t preemptively doom your workforce and the industry any further than you already have. Leave it alone.

Game design isn’t about being able to identify problems. Everyone who plays games can identify problems. Game design is about diagnosing player experience, having intent, and executing. I think to a lot of folks outside dev, game criticism (an art in itself) is seen as interchangeable with design.

This was a fascinating exercise: find out what went wrong with creativity in the games industry. The conclusion: there are too many cowards controlling too many critical levers, and until we figure out how to put people -taste, creativity, and craft- back at the top, we're going to be stuck.

question from Game Mess Q&A (which is going up for supporters soon): Why do we assume PS game prices will go up when Steam is digital only and has great prices? There are a lot of reasons, but the biggest reason is Steam has to deal with the ultimate competition of piracy.

This is a lost art. First place I worked had 4 teams working on different games, and a dedicated pitch team just laying track in the form of new projects. Used to be doable at 200 people. Indies being so small and AAA going all in on big projects has largely nuked it. It’s a shame.
