Why has Japan been relatively insulated from the global games industry crisis? Japanese industry consultant @serkantoto.bsky.social, expat developer @liambme.bsky.social, and a Japanese game studies professor tell us about protection laws, domestic bias, slow-growth mindsets and the cost of living.

The way that @overworld.vg does ads doesn't register as ads to me. And I've been known to throw a tantrum when I experience ads 😂 I think the ads are so minimal and non-disruptive. That being said, if there were an ad-free Patreon in addition to ads, I think that would also serve you very well.

Your bad art is better than AI slop.

four frame comic. first frame shows a typical AI poster that says : All chatgpt flyers look the same, especially with this font! the text above it reads : I won't go to your event if the poster was made by AI. second frame shows a still frame from a Hank Green youtube video. text above reads : I won't read your post or email and I won't watch your video if they were made with AI. third frame shows an AI restaurant poster of burgers and chicken in a window. text reads : I won't patronize your shop or restaurant if it is advertised with AI. last frame shows an MS paint window with badly written : Your bad art is better than AI slop. text reads : if you can't take the time or make the effort to interact with me yourself, then why should I do it?

I repeat. Roblox is the worst thing that's happened to the video game industry.

For 20 years, Roblox has been on a mission to remove limits on what gaming is – and what it can be.
Today, we're introducing Build – a new way for anyone to create a game on Roblox from their phone. And we’re expanding AI-powered tools for developers of every level.
We're doing this for one reason: The world needs more play.
Play is humanity's oldest technology for connection and learning. Before agriculture, before commerce, before civilization, we played together. And as the world has become more fragmented, the need for play only grows. Our role is to remove every obstacle between that play and the people who want to create it. Faster iteration and fewer technical constraints. And more room to push further than a single creator – or a small team – could have gone in the past.
This isn’t just for studios who've already proven themselves. Some of the most important work in this industry has come from first-time creators – who were often Roblox players first – with a single focused idea.
Between now and RDC, we'll incrementally roll out what we are building to make all of this real – new tools for creators, new ways for players to play, and new ways for people to find the things they love.

Here's the message I sent by email to management@gmaesdonequick.com just now. I encourage anyone troubled by their collaboration with Saudi Arabia to send a message with similar sentiments to this email address. @gamesdonequick.com, clean house now or lose legitimacy forever.

Dear Games Done Quick management,

I am saddened and frankly baffled by the decision to enter into a partnership with SNK at this time. SNK is owned and operated by the theocratic government of Saudi Arabia. That government is responsible for numerous crimes against humanity both domestically and abroad - bombing hospitals, oppressing queer life, and murdering journalists.

The House of Saud operates SNK as part of their sports-washing strategy to launder their loathsome reputation and attract investments that bolster their soft and hard power. GDQ partnering with the puppet-husk of SNK in exchange for Saudi blood money tarnishes GDQ's reputation as advocates for MSF, for queer rights worldwide, and for human dignity. It also plays into the House of Saud's goals of whitewashing their continued atrocities.

I have been an ardent supporter of Games Done Quick for nearly 15 years. I appreciate that GDQ must make difficult decisions when it comes to securing operating funds. However, this partnership is both a moral outrage and deeply corrosive to GDQ's ability to maintain its legitimacy and its relationship with donors.

I expect a swift and comprehensive apology, an explanation for why this stupid and despicable decision was made, and for the people responsible for this decision to vacate their positions and make room for smarter and more moral decision-makers.

Thank you for your time and consideration,

If anyone is getting smacked with this - just use deer.social or another alternate client. Bsky is just an AT Protocol Client, and your Bsky account is an AT Protocol account - you can use your same Bsky account thru another AT Protocol Client, no migration or loss necessary. Could not be easier.

It will never stop being funny to me that the street fighter subreddit has a much better, well reasoned ai policy vis a vis literally all universities.

Hi, thanks for posting! We do appreciate you thinking of us even though we have to moderate.

Our stance on all AI generated content (Images, Video, Voiceovers, and whatever else LLM based AI gets up to in the future):

At best, they are approximations of street fighter characters as the AI has no clue what it is trying to create. Because of this, there is no street fighter content so they are not allowed. (rule 1)

Also, they aren't allowed per our source rule. As AI sources cannot be tracked, we must assume that they use uncredited sources in the learning data. (rule 5)

Finally, AI images, video, text, and voiceovers are barely any different than posting a screenshot of a google search. The level of effort is so low that we consider it spam (rule 3).

Because of these reasons, AI art and other AI content is not allowed.

If you would like to contact the moderators about this removal, you can do so here.

Standing next to her is a young male with a content, but possibly slightly annoyed face and his partner Pokemon Cyndaquil resting on his head.
