Games are not tech and yet the great people who make them have been owned by Big Tech and are now being discarded en masse, because according to C-suits, tech can replace what they do. It’s a gross miscalculation. Games are art, games need soul. The more we lose talent, the more we’ll lose players.
There has to be a better way than this. There has to be a better games industry than this happening to so many people, over and over and over. This isn't good enough.

Surely the government of Turkey is fine with me, say, bringing about four or ten cats home with me?

More established franchises should try an omake structure a la Kirby Super Star. Collection of short campaigns that play with established conventions and structure.

Look, I understand the console has a black and white screen, but has anyone just tried sending Jeff Minter the Playdate SDK and seeing what happens?

Atomfall is out! I have absolutely nothing to say about its release. Look at my bloodied cricket bat instead.

I never imagined that SNK would attempt to capture the immaculate mechanics and vibes of Garou, but CotW has it in spades.

The Outrun/Darius game structure is criminally underused. Seems like a perfect fit for any short burst gameplay session that allows for player-driven difficulty selection at any skill level.

The Wikipedia page for pool hustling has a trove of terms that deserve to make their way into competitive game design and play.
