Longer post today about a kind of serious non TFT topic, so skip today if you're looking for fun stuff. I'm generally pretty lucky. I would consider my "approval rating" as a game dev on a popular game to be pretty high, and TFT is a great game that does lots of good things for players. Also the meta and the set are in good spots, so things should be pretty light hearted and easy in my corner. In the image below is stuff that was sent to me on various social media platforms just from Jan 1 to Jan 7, 2025. Just the first week of the new year. And again, I'm generally on easy mode as a game dev being pretty well liked overall. So this really isn't too bad. In my case, I've been doing this for a long time now and am pretty unaffected by stuff like this at this point. They're small blips in my day, and I've learned how to compartmentalize where these folks are coming from. So no concerns on my end. But what I want to talk about is how much this damages other games having figures like me that can talk about games with transparency and honesty. I know a LOT of devs who have reached out over the years and said they want to do what I do, but it's just not worth it due to all the time you have to put in, and then to get stuff like this...the value proposition in pretty low, considering its easier for companies to just...not do it. Especially if you're on a game where things aren't going great. Imagine trying to have a tough conversation around a game right now, and you have to be the face of it. What I get is easy mode, I can only imagine some of the stuff other folks would have to deal with. And that's really unfortunate. I feel like stuff like Vegas/Macao opens where I see devs talking to passionate players is so great, as it can inspire the next generation of folks who want to be game devs. Or even just being passionate about your hobby and getting to talk to folks who love your game or want to give feedback to make it even better. I still wish for a world where more of that happens across the industry, but it's tough. And then there's the despairing rabbit hole when you start to consider where the folks who send these messages are at. Some might just be an edgy kid sure, but others might be folks who are just having a rough time in life. Earlier in my naïve career I would sometimes reply to these folks to see if they were ok...but it had around a 10% success rate so wasn't really worth it. I know most of you know this, but this is just a reminder that if people want devs who can come out and talk to you about the games you love and want to deliver the experiences you want, this kind of thing doesn't really help. If you're a game dev and this scares you a bit to be player facing, my recommendation is to start small. I find that right now smaller discords are GREAT for finding groups of folks on a small scale who are generally pretty passionate, and would love the chance to talk. Start there, and don't be discouraged. Ok that's it for now. New patch is out, and super early read is we didn't mess it all up so that's good. We'll see how things develop of course. Also Lunar new year event stuff activates in a couple hours, so that should be lots of fun for ya! Alright, have a great day and take it easy :)
