The games industry brings in 300 billion dollars a year. The guy who made DOOM gets his projects canceled, the guy who made Katamari Damacy is broke, everyone in your feed is begging for a job and there are 50 new games coming out on Steam every day all going towards buying Gabe Newell's next yacht
Keita Takahashi (Katamari, Wattam, Noby Noby Boy) has moved back to Japan, and says he may be forced to quit the games industry due to To a T underperforming.

He also says he'd love to work on Katamari again, and for someone to invest in his studio.

Again, apologizing to all videogame environment artists who knocked up satirical posters for their games, I should not have rolled my eyes, yes, even you Cyberpunk billboard team, I am sorry

The Horses stuff is very tiring because so many in games like the idea of games being “art” when it suits them, but revert to “nooo games are fun toys” when it makes them uncomfortable.

Tired: Baby Steps is about male inadequacy, the feelings of a wasted life and the importance of trying without fear of failing even if you're figuratively (and literally) walking up a neverending mountain that hates you.

Spent over a week reviewing Baby Steps because at some point I realised it was art. A lot of critics got it wrong with this one, honestly. www.dbltap.com/reviews/baby...
Baby Steps review – Stupid, juvenile, compelling art

Italian painter Renato Casaro has passed. His movie posters defined a lot of the 80s for me.

Baby Steps starts as an elaborate shitpost before slowly revealing itself to be a sincere game about male insecurity. A deconstruction of the kind of idealized picture of manhood that video games helped create wrapped in a terrific slapstick comedy. My review. www.polygon.com/baby-steps-r...

Crockett: When you I say you are the least qualified in the history of the FBI, it’s real…

Patel: That’s false
