Quirky Studios @quirkystudios.bsky.social · 31/12/20246/ Gaming is at a crossroads. Will it stick with extractive practices, or will it evolve into something fairer? We believe the future is inclusive and sustainable for players and creators alike. What’s your vision for gaming’s next level? #gamers #gaming #indiegame #inclusive 041
Quirky Studios @quirkystudios.bsky.social · 31/12/20245/ Tools like #Web3 can help shift gaming’s narrative—if used responsibly. It’s not a magic fix or a fit for every game. Web3 should be seen as a tool, like in-game currency, designed to benefit players and devs, not exploit them. Let’s get it right. #gamers #gaming #indiegame 141
Quirky Studios @quirkystudios.bsky.social · 31/12/20244/ Imagine #gaming that respects players: progress that lasts, fair monetization for indie devs, and experiences built to include everyone. That’s the gaming ecosystem we envision—one that puts fairness first. #gamers #indiegame #gaming 120
Quirky Studios @quirkystudios.bsky.social · 31/12/20243/ For me, it’s about equality in #gaming. Tech has the potential to empower, but it’s too often used to exploit. Games could uplift players and indie creators, but extractive practices hold us back. Let’s create systems that support, not drain. #gamers #indiegame #equality 120
Quirky Studios @quirkystudios.bsky.social · 31/12/20242/ J’s biggest frustration? FIFA’s yearly grind. Each new game means buying again, losing your Ultimate Team progress, and starting over. It’s a cycle that feels unfair to players who invest time and money just to see it all reset. #gaming should do better. #gamers #indiegame 120
Quirky Studios @quirkystudios.bsky.social · 31/12/2024Lots 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 151
Quirky Studios @quirkystudios.bsky.social · 31/12/2024 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...open.substack.comCrypto Isn’t the Villain: Why the Real Problem Isn’t the TechLet’s be honest—crypto hasn’t done itself any favors in the PR department. 052
Quirky Studios @quirkystudios.bsky.social · 29/12/2024I'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.
