Chris shares his insight on EA's respected upbringing, and watching them give in to private equity pressure. #gamedev #indiegame #founderinterview
"I wanted to work at EA so badly as a kid..." ๐ญโจ
Chris sharing that childhood dream hits different when you remember what EA used to represent. Back then, seeing that logo meant innovation, creativity, and pushing boundaries - not loot boxes and annual rehashes ๐ฆ๐

Back when EA stood for "Electronic Arts" and actually meant it ๐จ๐
Remember when they were the scrappy underdogs championing creative developers? When their logo on a box meant quality, not microtransactions? Sometimes the real final boss is corporate greed ๐ธ

Dad mode activated! ๐จโ๐ป๐ Hand-typing video game code line by line to create the perfect gift. No shortcuts, just pure parental dedication and probably way too much coffee โ #gamedev #indiegame #dadlife #coding #handmade #programming #parenthood #giftgiving
Just like the good old days! ๐๐พ Manually typing in game code line by line from a magazine on my trusty Commodore 64. No copy/paste, no Stack Overflow - just pure determination and the occasional syntax error! ๐ #gamedev #indiegame #commodore64 #retrogaming #coding #nostalgia #vintagecomputing #8bit
