Last I'll post about this, but Elon Musk disagrees with me. This means I am onto something, and I feel more valid in my opinion than ever.

why dont they just release video games that allow me to regain the unconcernedness and freedom of my childhood, and fill the gaping vacant hole in my heart where my soul should be? are they stupid?

piggybacking off this: the most powerful sales technique in the world, for pretty much all of human history, has been word of mouth. If you like something someone made, TELL YOUR FRIENDS. Tell everyone. Leave reviews. Repost. Talk about it. Link to it and link to the artist. We depend on YOU.

Most creatives literally cannot exist without social media support at this stage. There just isn’t another viable option, which is bad for our mental health and long term viability. You literally do have to buy from the artists you enjoy here if you want them to continue making work.

I'm begging people to not create ranked game jams and not participate in them. The hurt they cause is so not worth the highlighting of the cream that's already risen to the top. I'm sick of seeing new (and existing) writers demoralized and disincentivized to create more stuff in the future.

People are starting to get antsy about wanting to go back to Twitter, and here’s the thing about doing good ethical things that most other people aren’t doing: you have to keep doing them, to keep being ethical.
