I’m not at GDC
And/or
I’m still/newly looking for work
Let that sink in, really think about it. Especially if you wanna share opinions on devs & the industry.
I try not to do ranty threads anymore, but man, this Valve GDC graph has just rubbed me up unbelievably badly
This was presented as a good thing - "more games are finding success!" -- when actually the data has just been presented in a tricksy way to make it look like everything is fine
I want to know what that's like.
"Class traitor" with more words
People will catch up when they're ready
Indie fund Outersloth has rejected every generative AI pitch it has received
I am shocked to learn this is actually underestimating costs, because it ignores the infrastructure costs.

"Artists peak at 30", "30 under 30", "by 30 you should" ridiculous. Arts industries capital craves young people to exploit and burn out. It doesn't want older artists thriving and guiding the young. It also doesn't want artists to exist. Stop letting cannibals tell you you only matter on a plate.
And this wasn't a case of forgetting something existed. Pure coincidence.
I dreamed of a game concept. Woke up. Came up with a clever name for it. Was about to work up a pitch when I decided to look on Steam just in case.
"Coming in 2026"
Same concept. Same name. Saves me work, I guess? Someone out there is as clever as I am?
Requiem for a Dream.
We just watched this and, friends, no matter how amazing you think it might be: it was many more amazing.
Oppose illegal kidnapping, you could die to federal agents.
Your driving robot kills someone and maybe 7 years later you have to pay a fraction of a percentage of the sham valuation of your company.

The jocks loved Sandler and were related to some of our teachers, so.
When I was just starting out, I was taking a cab from one convention party to another with an indie darling who was coming off of a bunch of award wins. In the quiet of that car he told me “[game he made] was my twenties” and I have never really stopped being haunted by that convo
Women in the games industry already have to put up with a lot, but we shouldn’t have to do it alone. Men in the industry: if you see one of your fellow men doing behaving this way towards a woman at a professional conference, please speak up and tell them to CUT IT OUT.
