This is a supremely good take about why giving proper credit for indie games production and demystifying the solodev rhetoric around games is so desperately needed.
Cc @joeyschutz.bsky.social from our previous convo :)

This “solo dev” and “only 3 devs” rhetoric is getting truly dangerously out of hand. Investors see this and think “I only have to pay 3 people” and the result is severely overworked and/or underpaid people and a subpar product. We need to stop treating outsourcers and contractors like ghosts.

more and more elements of the games industry are going to align themselves with gambling in the coming years, in a normalization of market failure. it is crucial to build a new paradigm for games and it must be ideologically opposed to this one. restructuring around gambling is anti-culture.
Wow
This is an insanely cynical and morally abhorrent move
I feel sorry for the devs there and more sorry for the families of the folks whose gambling addictions this will nurture

If you use AI you’re accelerating climate crisis, polluting deprived communities, burning through water, giving bosses excuses to reduce workers rights and wages. It’s a moral and ethical degradation.
A researcher calculates that, without increased production, AI will consume up to 82 terrawatt-hours of electricity this year—around the same as the annual electricity consumption of Switzerland.
AI Is Eating Data Center Power Demand—and It’s Only Getting Worse
A new analysis of AI hardware being produced and how it is being used attempts to estimate the vast amount of electricity being consumed by AI.

There are TWO DAYS left to get the California Fire Relief bundle. I would really love for the bundle to reach $350,000 by then. Please share widely, anywhere you can, and let's make these last two days count!! It's $8,183 worth of games+stuff (like Tunic!) for $10! itch.io/b/2863/calif...
