Hivemind! What are the current and rising trends in free-to-play games? How bad is the crisis in mobile games? What is your (wildest) prediction on the future of free-to-play?

This here is my plan for the holidays.
Very excited Penni the cat lying on a backbag.

Teaser for days 1-2 of the cat calendar! During 1.-24.12, for the 8th year in a row, I'm having an advent calendar with daily pics of our cats, Penni and Hippu. If you wish to follow, they will be posted on my Instagram (@lunacity42) #cats #adventcalendar

Mark your calendar: Festival of Game Culture (29.–31.5.2025, Tampere) is a celebration of games, play and scholarship. This witty, playful, thought-provoking and fun event both summarizes some of the work conducted in the CoE GameCult in 2018-25 and explores the future prospectives for game culture.
@merilainen.bsky.social @silversprite.bsky.social I have now corrected both lapses! 🍵🍫
I reached all my goals and deadlines for this week, ticked all my to-do items, was very efficient, and am very pleased with myself. Just a bit of teaching and I'm off to a well-deserved weekend. So now would be the perfect time to tell me about the things I've forgot.
Post you from a different era.
(Also my very first Bluesky post!)
