The UK videogames sector seems to be facing a duality:
On one hand, it is trying to convince investors that it's a high-growth, low-risk sector so that it raises financing.
On the other hand, it is trying to convince government that it's suffering from market failure, so it receives funding. 1/9

great perspective on βart vs artistβ by @draknek.bsky.social: βOn a personal level, I choose to spend my limited time on this planet engaging with art made by people where I donβt have to feel morally conflicted about how much Iβm implicitly supporting them and their beliefs and their actionsβ

Wow haha, it's crazy to me because a bunch of those bands I migrated from after my teenage years so to hear Bullet and Trivium toured together, it's like I just jumped through a time warp - very cool
