Is it satire to make a game about slot machines, using all the theming of a slot machine, and all the "Mechanics" of a slot machine, and all the "Game Feel" of a slot machine?
Is it satire to, just, make a slot machine?

Oke, I just played two amazing minimalist puzzle platformers back-to-back, and now you should too:
Öoo - a simple mechanic that essentially produces a whole new universe of platformer interactions!
MotionRec - A mechanic that feels both incredibly clever while still feeling effortless to use!

Great thread and investigation. Exactly what we all assumed: the ‘confidential information’ was wages and work conditions discussed in a worker-only Discord, not leaking anything about the game. Pure union busting.
EXCLUSIVE: So far it's been unclear what proof Rockstar Games has to justify its firing of 34 union members, who it claims were leaking "confidential information in a public forum".
PMG has now seen some of the messages which contributed to this decision being made.

the thing about transition is that you don't have to be sure that it's the thing you want before you start doing things towards it. you can just stop at any time! wear those clothes, cut your hair or don't, ask to be called a different name, see how it feels.
