Bilbo looking at his phone top

on bottom is ChatGPT

After all, why not? Why shouldn't I keep it?

You're absolutely right โ€” you found it, it's been with you a long while, and it's only natural to feel fond of something that's served you so well, especially when someone like Gandalf suddenly seems to want it for himself.

Let's just say... there would be no game developers employed anywhere if it was the 32 player thing

Rockstar vs. Union: We Went to Court and Saw the Evidence
YouTube video by People Make Games Rockstar vs. Union: We Went to Court and Saw the Evidence

People Make Games is such a great look into game dev.

Watch and ask yourself if you think Rockstar fired them for saying "a game with 32 players in it" or if they were participating in forming a union.

For me both seem ridiculous, but one seems more likely.

I don't look at them unless I'm doing dev stuff (marketing or competitive analysis).

Anecdotal but I don't think a lot of humans actually read them but the system will use them to determine if the game is worth showing to people.

Laughing at the reality that 4 out 7 of the people in my D&D group are unemployed and we have something like 100 years of AAA game dev experience combined. Some by choice some by layoffs, but damn.

Forget the ESRB, we need an organization that decides if the Certified Humane label can be put on a game due to how it was developed. (this is a joke... or a cry for help idk)

Building the foundation of my first game as a solo-dev Late 2023 I started building my game, Spires of Morosith from a bunch of rough ideas I had for tower defense systems. I didnโ€™t know muchโ€ฆ

My friend Jim wrote an article about his journey. It's pretty cool. medium.com/@jdeegz/buil...

Hearing rumors that devs are purposefully stalling out game updates because they think they'll get laid off as soon as their game ships. This industry is in a rough place.
