If we're going to keep doing DICE at the Aria every year I'm gonna need the two Starbucks on the second floor to receive unique designators so we can tell them apart.

Believing "everything happens for a reason" makes people look for someone or something to blame whenever something bad happens.
Humans are profoundly uncomfortable with the idea that the universe is nothing but chaos with no purpose.

It happens all the time. The people who decide what games get made are the people who control money. That's true of everything, though. Games are not unique in this, they just have longer dev times than many things so the cut is deeper when it happens.
The biggest waste of money I’ve seen in video game development, across many years and studios (not my current one - one of the reasons I wanted to work there), wasn’t on graphics. It was abruptly being told to throw out months or years of work bc one executive decided they didn’t like something.

So I was muddling through analysis paralysis in figuring out what social media content is worth making... so I looked at Pirate Software to see what format they use for videos. I clicked a random video and it HAPPENED TO BE THIS ONE. www.youtube.com/shorts/ktDhv...
