The comment section on this review is a case study for not having comment sections: www.eurogamer.net/arc-raiders-...

There's a clown in there who's been an 'active community participant' for *fifteen years* whining about reviews being 'political' now. Comment sections microwave your brain, man.

The social construction of economic "value" has never been clearer to me (for better and worse). So much cutting-edge digital game dev work today is happening outside the paradigm of "distribute an exe on Steam"... mods, fan games, ORGs, weird web experiments, IF, alt ctrl, game jams, etc.

Alexei Sayle's Stuff (9th November 1989). The latest teenage craze is a rather unexpected one.

This is the latest build of my DOS game jam game. It’s currently 208kb, single executable, and that’s with a bunch of standard C libraries still linked in. Plays well, too IMHO :D
