I think it's because the space is already saturated with absolute juggernauts eating all the play/attention time and also player burnout with the formula.

Great thread, from my experience with Chinese games is that they do not shy beign heavy on lore and since a lot of it can be unfamillair if you aren't used to Wuxia so its better to actually take some notes. It doesn't help that many also have the tendency to dump that lore a lot early on.

I think the figure of the public intellectual was a thing of the past century, they had their place in a liberal society but they were also intrinsicly tied in its games of power and influence. I think its better we have philosphers and people who "translate them" than all in one.

Rebecca and her companion Jennell Jaquays where pioneers who helped to shape many games that defined genres we still enjoy today.

Let's not forget them, especially in times when those in power wants to erase the very existence of people like them.

The irony lol

Bad medias are very good to stimulate creativity by imagining how you'd fix them to be better or actually good.

The Video Game History Expansion Pack – Pitch your story Today I’m putting my money where my mouth is and launching a new project — a book focused on game history outside of the usual North American perspectives.

So, today I'm announcing a new book project... and doing a call for papers: crpgbook.wordpress.com/2025/10/31/t...

It's an anthology of video game history outside the usual US perspective - an accessible & exciting panorama of different realities - and I'll pay 300 USD per article.

Please share :)

For gamers who aren't in game dev, you should know that we are in one of the worst periods in game dev history in terms of industry stability and the reason you're not seeing that play out through products is because the average development window of games is 3-7 years so it hasn't reached you yet.

Taking care of her majesty has shifted to priority #1
