I recently turned down on talk on "How I always stay employed", because I said that it's a question I'm not comfortable with - largely because anything after 2022 means the answer is "LUCK". We are not solely in a skill based Battle Royale right now.

I'm working on a YouTube script to go over the major differences I've experienced between working at UK studios and US studios, and it feels like I'm comparing two overarchieving siblings that hate each other, but still hang out regularly.

Honestly, if the PR team at Sony led with this stat as to why they are killing discs the backlash would genuinely have less momentum. No game selling more than 275k physical copies is impressively low. I feel like a relic

3 - It also hides more than it shows. It's a one post anecdote on a short form social media platform. Anyways, I can't disclose title specific unit totals, but none of the 7 that did exceed 100k physical units in the US during the 1H reached 275k. But sure, both demand and supply play roles here.

Despite being part of the "I started a YouTube channel before @jasonschreier.bsky.social" club, I still want more people in the games industry should start their own channels. There's a huge gap for experienced folks sharing their knowledge and helping balance the sea of uninformed fan commentary.

Somehow my favorite videogame essay channel ResonantArc found me and invited me to guest on their latest episode. We discuss the cultural loss of physical media disappearing as well other stuff. Please consider showing them some love with a Like & Sub! Link: youtu.be/OL4tOm-0VXM

If i purchase a Switch 2 game key, play the game for 2 months then want to sell the game key to someone else. Can I do that?

I own Cyberpunk 2077 on Steam. I can delete Steam at any time, copy the entire Cyberpunk game folder to another PC or drive, launch the exe file directly, and it will play. I truly own it. I also have the option for digital refunds on Steam. PlayStation digital games cannot promise either of these.

The sheer IRONY of people replying to the news about PlayStation going digital only by saying "ok well im ditching PlayStation and going back to Steam" Erm.... steam.... which is primarily digitally ANYWAY 🙃🤣😂

I always hoped games we worked on would sit in physical libraries in the future, man. This sucks.

Networking helps but the real career solution is a functioning economy that isn't a zombie tech stock facade

Game devs, pre-empt layoffs and stay connected with those on your immediate team. If the worst happens and you're all let go, consider forming a co-dev team. A group of experienced engineers, UI/UX specialists, designers, or narrative can be valuable as a small strike team taking on short contracts.
