my only wider contribution to this discourse is that systemic issues are caused by systems, and those same issues are affecting games as much as media, so maybe have some solidarity with everyone suffering through it instead of peddling wildly generalising tropes about "the media" - ThreadSky

Survival/crafting sims, roguelikes, live-service games, and other genres... There are definitely good ones still getting developed and released, but we DON'T NEED this many of them

Wildly bad look for a CEO, and reminds me of every petulant client ever from when I worked in media relations for the arts-- a job I wish more ppl had to do for a year or two. Buddy here needs to get off LinkedIn and fix his pitches, timing and support materials.

i wish more people at director level and above received basic media training so that they don’t make shocked pikachu faces when they enter public spaces unprepared

I honestly wonder if it all comes from just not having had to work any starter set of normal entry level jobs. So many skills not learned.

I worked with one ceo whose dad was her main business partner and he expressed that working a job after college wasn't good enough for her-- she needed to be an entrepreneur right away. Gross!

It doesn’t help that PR lists will inundate journalists with endless requests for coverage; at the end of the day, there’s only so much you can do. But the number of indies who wait until the last possible moment to reach out never ceases to amaze me.

wild take from a guy whose studio got big exclusively from viral videos
