If the protagonist for Cyberpunk was V, will the protagonist for the next one be Vi?

I don’t know if it’s a midlife crisis or just game dev.

Damn, I really need to actually start using this. Been on a social media holiday for a while.

Anyway, here's a cute little rap about AI consuming us all 😅

Wow that sucks for Hollywood execs, maybe they should have spent 2023 paying their creatives instead of trying to replace them with AI

To all gamedevs: Please read our letter to The Game Awards, sign it, and share it as much as you can. Palestinians need all the support we can give ✊🏽🇵🇸

Original tweet here, please watch Younès’ video. A brighter, bolder, and more inclusive games industry starts with all of us speaking out in solidarity against injustice and genocide.

Who do I know who is on the IGDA team?

I'm just saying that this graphic was A Choice(TM) on the membership page of the site.

Maybe we should revisit this design choice?

Would anybody here be interested in joining something like that?

The capitalists, CEOs, and executives are destroying livelihoods.

And the only way we can stop them is by applying huge amounts of pressure on them.

Join a union, organize your workplace, run campaigns for what you want and against the capitalists. Be a goose with a knife.
The capitalists in power benefit from these redundancies. They don't care about sustainable businesses for workers, they care about short term profit.

If we ask them to switch from their model to ours without power behind us, we're only going to be frustrated by the results.
The games industry isn't broken, it's working as intended. That distinction is important because if it were broken, people in power at the top would want to fix it.

But they don't because it benefits them this way, which means that we need to force the change from the bottom.
