This has now been resolved. I posted this out instead of handle it privately to; warn others, let ppl see how badly this will be percieved if they try it, and to give the person an opportunity to set things right without direct confrontation. Things are hard right now, but this aint the solution.

I have learned today that someone is applying to jobs, presenting my Portfolio as if it is their own. I know who it is as they follow me on here. I understand things are tough right now, but please stop. No harm no foul, just fix this.

When a game studio ships a solid game, it creates TWO valuable products: 1. A solid game. 2. The team that spent years learning how to work together make a game. Because Western studios keep disbanding #2 while development cycles get longer; we will inevitably see less of #1.

This must be like going on a break with your high school sweetheart, only to find out she got proposed to by an NBA player.

There are plenty of people in the video game industry who don't do enough, or any, charity work. Here's your chance to change that! Boost this, offer to come hang during our 9/19 IRL stream and bring good vibes, and most importantly, DONATE.

I don't like that very few men in the industry publicly defended you, tbh. Just quiet on the timeline but watching you get dog piled. But that's a different conversation I guess...

Only Voyager, Deep Space Nine, and The Next Generation have the warm fuzzies. No other series can quite match their vibe.

What is the true reason that UK game studios do not promote anyone until its like 3 years overdue?

On my quest to encourage more of my peers to start a YouTube channel, for 'healthier' discussions - I'm now 5 videos in, most of videos have 25k+ views, and 3/4s of my audience is finding my work via the YouTube browse or Suggested tabs. From what I see YouTube has the best algorithm for newcomers

Until Dawn developers SuperMassive Games with a bleak update. Not sure the UK games industry is ever going to look right again, at this rate... :(

1. Great interview of the Weeknd from Gene. 2. This has radicalized me and has me planning to DM every celebrity that follows me on social media. I am about to test boundaries.

I recently turned down on talk on "How I always stay employed", because I said that it's a question I'm not comfortable with - largely because anything after 2022 means the answer is "LUCK". We are not solely in a skill based Battle Royale right now.

I'm working on a YouTube script to go over the major differences I've experienced between working at UK studios and US studios, and it feels like I'm comparing two overarchieving siblings that hate each other, but still hang out regularly.

This is the best video essay on why the games we grew up with are so special to us. I highly recommend it. Games used to ask: "Can you picture this?" Modern games now ask: "Did you notice this?" Del Walker did an amazing job.

Honestly, if the PR team at Sony led with this stat as to why they are killing discs the backlash would genuinely have less momentum. No game selling more than 275k physical copies is impressively low. I feel like a relic

Despite being part of the "I started a YouTube channel before @jasonschreier.bsky.social" club, I still want more people in the games industry should start their own channels. There's a huge gap for experienced folks sharing their knowledge and helping balance the sea of uninformed fan commentary.

I own Cyberpunk 2077 on Steam. I can delete Steam at any time, copy the entire Cyberpunk game folder to another PC or drive, launch the exe file directly, and it will play. I truly own it. I also have the option for digital refunds on Steam. PlayStation digital games cannot promise either of these.

Game devs, pre-empt layoffs and stay connected with those on your immediate team. If the worst happens and you're all let go, consider forming a co-dev team. A group of experienced engineers, UI/UX specialists, designers, or narrative can be valuable as a small strike team taking on short contracts.

Because every time a game studio has to move resources over to making a trailer, it causes the game to lose about 4 months of actual dedicated development iteration time.
