Even better, the executives that want “the next Balatro,” but have no scouting apparatus, no appetite for experimental games, and don’t know how to talk to creatives. If you aren’t looking at early pitches, the next Balatro is being signed by someone who is.

Publisher bizdev people at events like GDC and Dice trying to sign "the next balatro" should realize that, statistically, the developer of "the next Balatro" you need to be talking to isn't at GDC or Dice talking to bizdev guys seeking 2m+ in funding

Vampire Survivors and Balatro came out of making something to be played. Not to get publisher money.
