i will lurk and sometimes post, don't expect much

Microsoft should exit the gaming industry and preferably my plane of existence. If BDS was not enough to convince sideliners, what MS did to id is unforgivable. Perhaps the most important western gaming studio in existence - a historied house of culture and art with genre defining talent.

This shouldn’t even be something regular people know or care about. “Read the incoming CEO’s memo” “They changed the startup logo” “Here’s the new console’s code name!” please just post about the BDS boycott once man I’m begging you

Longtime college friend of mine, Mike Prinke, was among those laid off at Epic Games: he has been fighting terminal brain cancer, and now he, his wife, and kid, have no income or health insurance. Sharing here in hopes it can reach the right people on their behalf. #epicgames

The bigger thing people need to realize from this is that inflation is what causes the rise of costs, but a higher minimum wage, universal health and child care make these prices a lot easier to swallow and justifiable. I haven’t bought a game at $70 since 2020, and I can’t do that again. I won’t.

One takeaway from the DICE convention here in Las Vegas, where game makers gather to pitch and schmooze? Most video games should not cost $70. This week’s column: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

The reason I say “Sweet Baby Inc is a team of Writers & Narrative Designers” so often, is because even people who support us are often under the impression that we are sensitivity consultants. Sensitivity consultants are great, but again, Sweet Baby Inc is a team of Writers & Narrative Designers.

Jill Murray@jillmurray.bsky.social · 7mo ago

The top reason studios use consulting labour for narrative is that they all want to avoid having a greater quantity of writers and narrative designers on the full-time payroll. That's it. It's to get the stuff designed and written but also save money/commitment.

There are a million factors at play to cause this, but I just don't know how anyone could justify upgrading from a PS4 to play a list of games that cost more than before and includes such exciting entries as: The Last of Us Again, Horizon Zero Dawn Again, and The Last of Us 2 Again
