If you liked or hated my takes on ‘deprofessionalisation’, I went into a lot more detail in this great chat with @pushtotalk.gg for his newsletter. Connected what’s going on now to what I observed in the Australian industry in the 2010s www.pushtotalk.gg/p/gamings-gr...

Every now and again I reflect on our Charlotte's Web GBA game we produced at Backbone. It was an action platform game that had Wilbur leaping around on platforms. We referred to it internally as "Pig of Persia," in honor of Prince of Persia, the game we absurdly based it on.

My latest piece goes out either Monday or Tuesday next week, it's called "The Era of the Business Idiot." I believe our society is in the thrall of middle management, and it's turned our economy into a series of symbolic gestures between people that don't really know what's going on. Wheresyoured.at

So we're turning Noclip's sister channel into a games coverage outlet with a mission to highlight the work of lesser known developers alongside the biggest games in the world. We're just starting the process, but if you're interested in learning more, I filmed a thing: youtu.be/0GqDUD0kCuM

Can we just spare a thought, too, for the official end of News Corp as a political force. No one outside an aging political class pays any attention to them.

One of the most depressing trends of the last decade has been watching the once thriving space of video game journalism and editorial coverage, with continuity going back decades and a respect for the written word rooted in early internet culture, get successively gutted and destroyed.

Getting a job in games media seemed almost unattainable when I broke in back in 2005. In the years since, it’s become almost impossible and ultimately inadvisable. I can’t imagine trying to break in today. Independent is pretty much the only option now. Support your favorite creators directly.

I spent well over a month talking to investors to get the actual data behind what’s happening to the games industry. I was going to say “enjoy!” but it’s, uh, not great. youtu.be/9HM9nmqNioQ

Ok look, I hype up games but when a game gets nominated for a Nebula Award, a Hugo Award, and a Peabody Award, like that right there tells you have amazing, stellar storywriting in that game. Please check out 1000xRESIST!

It feels like a significant amount of quality news outlets are behind paywalls while absolutely none of the inflammatory right-wing ones are and in an age of overwhelming misinformation combined with increasingly poor media literacy I just have… no idea what we’re supposed to do about that.

"Those who have drank the AI Kool-Aid don't understand that all this brainstorming and iteration is making the game, it’s a crucial everyday part of game development (and human interaction) and is not a problem to be solved.”
