Hi-Fi Rush is a strong argument for more game releases to be treated like a Beyoncé album drop than a years-long marketing campaign.

I can think of TWO other things that this worked for. Stranger Things, and Apex Legends. The latter of which SHOULD NOT have succeeded.
And for each of these successes with no marketing there are games like TWEWY 2 and a thousand other commercial failures.

Because 99.9% of the time it will fail. You and I have no idea how many games are excellent but didn't hit the right beats and were crushed in the tide of new releases.
Even good big games with big budgets can market correctly and way underperform in sales.

And you can do everything right as well and you might just not get lucky with sales.
But if you're making a game you SHOULD market your game with a real plan.

Does accessibility count as politics? Cuz I sure hope you keep railing on the industry for having bad accessibility options when they fail to do things properly.

Be okay with putting out mediocre work. Not everything you create will be a masterpiece and honestly, it's still probably better than you give it credit for.
Finish it, move on, and start the next thing

Fallout 4 should instead be seen as a testament to a banger teaser reveal.

Reminder to remove aspiring from your bios. Just fucking do it. There's literally no good reason not to.
If you've never done the thing, then just do it. Aspiring game composer but never wrote music? Join a jam.
If you have, congrats you are the thing. You'll feel way better.

You're subconsciously comparing yourself against the best of everyone. But everyone also has different sets of skills and knowledge.
This is what it took me until my last year of grad school to realize. I’m still regularly overwhelmed by how much I don’t know, but I no longer suffer from the delusion that everyone else in my position knows 5x more than me.

And a tip to freelancers, don't charge for how much you need to live NOW. If you're doing a 3 month contract, don't charge for 3 months cost of living charge for 7. A freelancer should cost 2.5x more what a full time employee does because you lack job security and benefits
Can I be honest ?!???
Working 60 minutes to make a $20 bill is disrespectful.

There's probably over 5000 video games this applies to in the last 5 years. How many of those worked out?
There's hobbyists and there's indies. Both valid, but the difference is which one is commercially driven.
Ya gotta spend money to make money unfortunately.

As a trans person I don't want people giving shit to the devs of the HP game. You all know I think JK is an absolute trashfire of a person, but working on an IP doesn't mean you share the same views as the creators.

There's discussion about "separating art from the artist" and the biggest thing is:
-Does consuming art financially benefit its artist?
-Does said artist use that $$$ to actively harm others?
If you're supporting that art, the people getting harmed are allowed to get mad!~

To anyone calling Terry Crews "weak" or soft," Terry shows that strength is the restraint to do the instinctual thing, but still standing up and speaking out against sexual abuse. Strength to show vulnerability.
Had he" done something" to his assaulter, his career would be done
