If only there was a magical piece of technology that compressed budgets while maintaining output!

What the game industry needs is sub $10m budget bangers like Expedition 33, wherever you are on in the current culture wars having > $100m budget games (before marketing!) guarantees that each game either needs to be a hit or the entire studio shuts down.

im glad valve is finally getting shit for making devs write ai disclaimers. completely inappropriate and political practice, it was never pro-consumer to punish certain tool use.

Tim Sweeney has done a lot for the gaming industry in his career but fighting the anti AI gamers is arguably the most important yet.

Age ratings tell parents what’s in a game so they can make informed decisions for their kids. These AI statements are just as partisan as mandatory political essays or forcing developers to list their voting history to drive cancel campaigns and public struggle sessions.

Forcing developers to write a political statement to be used against them by the hate mob they’re helping organize is abhorrent.

Look, people like Trip Hawkins are great and did a ton, but Tim’s still punching - LeBron / Brady longevity and GROWTH. Who else is leading the Western game dev industry?

The crash in the game business nowadays is the first for the new generation of gamers, but only one of several in the history of games. Here are my thoughts from 2000 when a maker of beloved but long-unprofitable games went under.

The games we've long wanted, which didn't exist because they'd cost several times more to make than they'd earn back, will soon become possible. As will the games developers wanted to build, but couldn't with the resources available. It'll be a new golden age of gaming.
