Instead of on Twitter - let's try this here & see if it works by now. If you're developing a game, or released one: reply with the title, description, screenshots, and/or a link. Doesn't matter what stage of development you're in. Then repost this, and let's see what cool stuff we're all making.

is it because they fired people's coworkers and replaced those lifelong experts in the field with an extremely stupid guessing machine so the bosses could pocket 100% of the salaries they're no longer paying while asking the remaining workers to pick up the slack and clean up after the AI's mistakes

"Not only is AI increasing the workloads of full-time employees, it’s hampering productivity and contributing to employee burnout." www.forbes.com/sites/bryanr...

Dunno who needs to hear this but: Game dev articles a lot of times say "nobody wants to play this kind of game anymore" or "we have to do it this way now because," and just ignore those bits. They're talking about AAA, if not F2P gamers, and seriously: who cares? Make games for YOUR audience. 🎮

Been a minute since we've done one of these, but: We recently passed the 3,600 subscriber mark! Merch is on the way -- after we sort through some logistics -- and another podcast isn't far off. Thank you to all of our subscribers, without whom none of this would be possible

I'm picturing Phil Spencer, with his plastic grin and mostly closed eyes smiling and uttering something about "growth and value" into the mirror as tears stream down his face. I assume then he'll shake it off and fire a few dozen folks to tell himself he's still got it.

Note well, "Luca" and "Turning Red" were the Pixar movies (along with "Soul") that were released directly to Disney+ during the pandemic. Luca was the #1 streamed movie of 2021; Turning Red was the #2 streamed movie of 2022. That seems pretty universal. (Soul also streamed well + 2 Oscars.)

Just fold the studio into Disney and kill it already. Make Toy Story sequels till the sun fucking burns out. Love how this shift conveniently happened when more woman/POC were really pushing to direct their own stories. Defining their experiences as not "universal" is saying the quiet part aloud.

remind me, when companies create an actual revolutionary technology that is going to change the world, do they usually have to beg users to adopt it, give it away for free for years, and at last resort force it on people with no way to disable it? Is that usually how revolutionary tech works?

One of the toughest problems Microsoft has to solve is that Windows has to serve two very different types of users: business users who don't want this at all, and home users who don't want this at all.
