Lots of thoughts today. 1/ Gaming should be fair—for players, indie studios, and everyone in between. We’re a small team driven by the idea that #gaming can empower, not exploit. It’s time to rethink how games treat players and creators. Let’s make fairness the new norm. #gamers #indiegame

We see #Web3 as another tool in the gamer’s arsenal. Like in-game currency, it can be used for good or bad—it depends on how it’s handled. For us, Web3 is about exploring ways to give #gamers more control & enhance their experience. #indiegame #gaming quirkystudios.substack.com/p/crypto-isn...

I'm working on a blog post about elitism in gaming & bringing a perspective some of you might relate to. I grew up as an 'OG' gamer with a ZX Spectrum but now, I’m also a mum to gamers. Gaming has evolved, but one question still lingers: Are you even a real gamer? 🕹️ #gaming #indiegames #OGgamer
