Something that has stuck with me for years now is that Ed Brubaker has made more in residuals for the 5 second cameo he had in Captain America: The Winter Soldier than he ever did at Marvel literally creating the comics it’s based on.
Miles Morales co-creator Sara Pichelli says she does not get any royalties from the ‘Spider-Verse’ films, Insomniac games, or merch

The thing I had to come to terms with is I’m working on other people’s games not my own. And there fine I put the same amount of effort in but sometimes means working on something that will have zero room of any of your input or ideas and you follow the instructions. That’s why you have personal art

Santa Ragione co-founder Pietro Righi Riva addresses the studio's potential closure in an exclusive interview with GamesIndustry.biz. "There will likely be no money left to make a new [game]... Unless a miracle happens and Horses does very well."

I'm honoured to be amongst such an incredible cohort, and for BAFTA to recognise my work on Old Skies!

As a disabled, female, performer-writer in games, I am so proud to show what we can do, and with BAFTA's support the sky's the limit!

I’ve never liked the “over-encumbered” system. It’s just not fun at all. And I don’t like when people make the argument that it’s more realistic.

If I can fit 10 rolls of toilet paper, three watermelons, and a shotgun in my pockets, just let me carry as much as I want at that point.

I want to thank Alyssa for talking to us for this story. It's hard to see a program like The Future Class be abandoned when it had huge potential.

I wanted to share more of my thoughts that include Future Class, Game Awards, and accessibility so I made a video about it: youtu.be/nNcvtsba90M

FWIW, your Future Class is still recorded across many gamesindustry sites, if you wish to link it on your socials. You have a right to that win even if it didn't give much back.

Not much to add, but I hope as an industry we can really do better and not relying on burned out folks to do it all.

Class of 2022 here. I don’t know what is the most infuriating thing abt this article but this one stings me the most. You try so hard to get recognised in the industry which you kinda do and then it suddenly ceases to exist. What’s the point in the end? 🫠

Honestly this feels indicative of the larger industry overall. DEI was a big talking point as long as it made for good PR. The moment it was no longer en vogue? Say goodbye to anyone who was advocating for it, swept up in larger mass layoff efforts.

The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

Well… that worked! Thanks everyone for hanging out and spending time with me while I made some chili!

I was a member of TGA Future Class 2022 and lemmee tell ya, my skin has been crawling since

pretty much every interaction I had with them (few) & story I heard about other members' interactions with them (many) was bad. & by bad I mean, so many shades of being used as photo op tokens & nothing more
EXCLUSIVE on @gamedeveloper.bsky.social: not only has The Game Awards not nominated a Future Class for 2025, it's told alumni it "does not have any active programming plans" for the award.

The Future Class page was taken down sometime this year—eliminating a definitive archive of honorees.
The Game Awards' Future Class program remains on ice
Future Class organizer Emily Weir has informed past honorees that The Game Awards has no active plans for the program.

perhaps the most egregious thing that happened with the Future Class was when The Game Awards took money from Old Spice in the name of the FC & simply... pocketed it

it wasn't used to fund Future Class initiatives, it wasn't used to help lift marginalised developers

they just profited from us
