I think this sums up what I've been trying to do in all my writing about games over the last 20 years. Games are not just a commodity, they're cultural artifacts with cultural value. They reflect our culture no less than books and film, and in many cases lead our culture.
But compared to the other screen industries, they don't have access to "cultural" funding. With one exception - Wales - all the other funding for games comes via the "economic" path that requires growth. Games MUST sell, not merely be "needed" the way books or films are. 6/9

My favourite thing about this interview is the mention of Miyamoto walking through Nintendo's offices just watching people work like Paul Hollywood in the Bake Off tent. The idea of such a workplace is simultaneously delightful and horrifying all at once.
Nintendo’s games feel special in a way other developers can’t quite imitate. But why? According to @mackeza.bsky.social, author of Super Nintendo, an upcoming book about the Mario and Zelda maker, it’s because teams are intergenerational

general life rule in all times, but especially now: you should be concerned primarily with showing solidarity and support to people putting their lives on the line against fascists and much less concerned with the panicked protecting of your interests and a feeling of "safety" at all moments

I really need to stop hearing people in positions of power referring to those they expect free labour from as ‘entitled’ if they refuse. It’s so ass backwards it makes my brain hurt.

If you're not familiar with just how unhinged the "Gender Critical" movement is, this thousand strong class action thing might just seem like a random ass-pull, but what it is is that they believe there's going to be some moment where all trans people will just suddenly stop being trans all at once.

Remember how The Times claimed there was a 1,000 family class action against the Tavistock clinic?
We got a FOI out of them, it never happened.

NEW: I spoke to Jonathan Blow about his ambitious new puzzle game and why it took ten years to make. Then, days after the announcement, three designers came out denouncing Blow for his views on Trump (pro), vaccines (anti), and more. Here's the whole messy story: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

I am serious. Foreign visitation to the US is fraught right now and it might be easier and less stressful for some outlets to hire local instead of sending one of their own. Please let me know if you're such an outlet.
If there are any European/Australian gaming outlets that still have a budget and want coverage of the year's biggest gaming events in the US but *don't* want to expose their people to well... the US, my email is in my bio!
