Yeah, this makes perfect sense. A bunch of suits who showed up, rubbing their palms together, drooling, asking where the money comes out. It wouldn’t be the first company/industry they’ve destroyed.
Multiple game studios have recently closed because their titles couldn't compete with established live-service games like Fortnite. Meanwhile, you can also literally work on Fortnite and get laid off and Tim Sweeney remains a billionaire.
Something has to change. The time is now.

CEOs will be like "this is just an unfortunate fact of the market. This was a very hard decision to make" while buying their fifth yacht
The Game Awards cycle in a nutshell: Geoff Keighley pockets millions, executives rake in bonuses, shareholders see value increase, the projects get mismanaged... the workers get laid off and players are left disappointed.
We deserve better.
Yeah, this is definitely accurate. Also, being a little older there’s a feeling of, “wow these young artists are much better than me! I’ve wasted so much time and will never be good enough.”
Soon as I saw you made a bsky I had to follow, thanks for following back 💕
Honestly I still don't post enough here it's very sporadic 😭
This is just going to always be my go-to response to this kind of thing anthonymoser.github.io/writing/ai/h...
Having done concept work… yes, 100% Zane is right.
You get better, cooler, weirder, wilder, fresher ideas with creatives bouncing off each other than a plagiarised soulless mashup will get you.
The earlier the stage of design, the more critical it IS to the design.
Abandon AI. Choke the beast.
"Anyone who works in the games industry can identify that our art form is being sold for parts to make a few people a lot of money. And they don’t care about the games. They don’t care about the art. They just want their money."

while industry figures, dressed to the nines, filtered into LA's peacock theater last week, protesters chanted "the industry is dead" outside of it. despite how often geoff keighley says the game awards exist to "celebrate" games and the people who make them, many feel ignored
So much money in video games and so little of it actually going to developers.
This is so painfully accurate lmao.
The rich countries does not care, as it does not affect them to the point of concern, it will but then it would be too later.
Praying for Philipines.

A small bird with soft brown and yellow plumage perches on a mossy branch, displaying a striking orange and black fan-shaped crest on its head.
A female Tropical Royal Flycatcher showing a bit of her crest for me today. After they catch a butterfly, they spend some time preening and they will often display a bit when they're floofing their feathers.

going even more specific, unless you're losing *vital* depth information or unless the acting choice is *unintentionally* boring
it's all just so subjective and this industry tries so hard to pretend it's not lol
a fun sketch. #digitalart #sketch
Nonono! See, my boss insists the reason I had 2 burnouts last year is because I don't know how to manage my time, and not... you know... the fact that they cut a position in my team and the ineffective management with poor communication and constantly shifting goals!

girlll im betting on it simmering....
Almost everyone in game dev gets paid extremely low salaries compared to their colleagues in the same role outside of game dev, while publishers rake in millions, so I can assure you that the increase in price is not buying groceries for game devs.
