So how'd that work out for ya? Looks to me like a lot of your friends could have used some "hyper consumers". (remember hatred was a top seller while...that one shooter everyone makes fun of thats not overwatch...never was) That's still one of the dumbest things I've ever read. companies are desperate to get everyone else to stop using 5+ year old computers and here you are with an audience dedicated enough to not only buy computing hardware but dedicated gaming hardware and telling them off. sure we can put shit indie games like depression quest and oko in browsers and on mobile or igpu or whatever but ya know, I think nvidia, AMD, Nintendo, and maybe some more companies like having people that buy hardware and will actually pay for their products.
Because the audience she wants doesn't do those things. That audience is still playing the sims 2 or maybe 3...they might fuck around on mobile but even there it's the dedicated whales keeping the lights on. Hell there's far better minds than hers trying to figure out how to sell more and they wouldn't have done anything as destructive as she did not only creating a divide that affected their side, but pushed a reputation throughout the media and world that pretty much ensures gaming stays...ours.
The only reason I was reading gama sutra that damn day was to try to figure out how to make and sell games on my own, I didn't think it would lead to years of lecturing people on it because I didn't want to join some weird ass cult.
Is this a joke? I mean books about GG were done years ago. I worry about their actual churn rate...I'm not even trying to talk shit but honestly I STARTED Game Dev literally a week before GG and finished more games than some of their devs as a hobby...Shit I started writing a year into GG and finished more than 10 books, one of them on GG, a couple business and mostly erotica but still...
What the hell is praiseworthy about this? People said mean things to you on the internet? That happens to everybody else. I get death threats if I decide to focus on trance and house music for an EP, death threats if I go back to dubstep and drum and bass, death threats if I talk to somebody's waifu, I couldn't write a "book" on this subject besides "suck it up princess".
Maybe someone would respect you if you didn't have non-game designers out releasing you as a "professional programmer"...
I still don't get this particular line of thinking. I was always of the opinion that if you fucks with something you fucks with it, if you don't you don't. That's why Bayonetta, or even portal works if you want a game that's mainly women, and even directed by one works.
I always saw games as kinda countercultural, there's not many other events I can think of where the biggest showings are by japanese studios.
Like if a woman wants to make a game, or cast a female lead in a game that's fine as long as the game has substance. It's just some people make "trends" out of things and people hate trends or specifically trend dickriding which is WHY people say "forced diversity" and makes it harder for someone to seriously say "no wait this game is good".
Hell having mentioned portal imagine doing that project TODAY, kid out of college gets a deal with valve to make a puzzle/narrative game for valve to be featured alongside hl2 and tf2. Everyone would be paranoid as fuck because of all the low quality trend dickriding we've seen.
I always thought of games as similar to the music I like and old radio shows like Mojo, The Wizard, Moody back in the day, and even myself where you might not know ANYTHING about what identity the DJ/producer has, where they are from, who else was involved... (ok all my examples were black men but listen to this and try to guess the identity.)
But you go into the music/game store, throw some shit on and if it's hot you think "yeah I can fuck with this". And that can be true for anyone in the world, any gender, country.
That persons name doesn't even matter, I mean if you want to follow them sure, but they could release shit under a different name entirely and you'd either fuck with it or look like a hypocrite when you don't like the new names track and it's a b-side on their main release and you switch up.
That's where content and ideas flourish instead of we all follow some pop singer that lost their voice years ago, or lil tommy fingerbanger.
THAT'S what I wanted to do with games. I'm honestly pissed off Gamergate forced my to have to give that idea up to back notyourshield...ya know I don't WANT Oko to have to carry "first game made in brightmoore by a self-taught dev and how every gamer will judge black indie games from poor people.
I just realized why I don't like SJWs...they are DJ Khaled. Screaming their name and identity over and over with content that really dickrides others accomplishments while running social media pages where they work out for five years and don't lose a goddamn pound.
They've had hundreds of thousands of dollars if they want the content make it bloody happen. I hated mobile games and apps so I made some casual ones that fit my vision mainstream "EDM trends" so I take what little I have and produce albums & tracks that experiment. If I had half of what anita got for youtube I'd probably have started a ghetto-rigged studio by now for the 3d experiences I'd like to bring to other platforms.
I don't need $500k to tell you there's a LOT that can be done for "urban games" considering the front runner is GTA...compare that to the wire. But I guess like DJ Khaled, they don't want to actually change or affect the content of an industry, just slap your name/approval on something already trending. Put a woman on the box of battlefield, let EA nickel and dime more people (because that's why their really doing the shit lets not pretend it's altruism) and call it a day.
Not adpocalypse per se but revenue hits LAST YEAR had me retire on making videos Aug 12, 2016. Post adpocalypse I don't even consider youtube beer money or worth anything other than promoting my other work like my apps ect. I wouldn't waste the hour I used to spend on a video on youtube anymore when I can write on medium about how youtube is fucking up in less time.
I'd consider games a dodgy/risky area to get involved in or get into or touch on professionally (even though Lil Yachty just started a twitch...I mean it's fine for mumble rappers and lean crowd) which is why I even silently released a game in the midst of other content, and leave gaming content more on sites like Steemit than what I'd call "tier one" which would be you instagrams, snapchats, Soundcloud, twitter, FB". As well as reinforcing a more anime/japanese inspired aesthetic throughout everything than "gamery".
I'm not sure if others are doing this consciously or unconsciously but it seems if ANYTHING "geeky" is invoked or pulled people go eastern really quick

as one example whereas you look in the past it was common to see images from Halo, Dragon Age, and other western "geek culture".
Personally on my own front think more Jojo, Tekken, Shounen Jump, Switch, guilty gear, vocaloid, JSRF, Persona, Final Fantasy dreamcast/90's style ads/aesthetics and zero Marvel(except Donnies ravers of the Galaxy), Mass Effect, PC gaming, western culture. Pretty much more Akihabara and Shibuya, not comic con.
Vaporwave aesthetic might have somethin to do with it too.
It's interesting to think about actually, I remember a few years ago at world electronic music festival you had DJs blasting their remixes of the skyrim theme and league of legends as well as events titled "lets get Schwifty" or whatever marvel release but I haven't seen anything like that the last couple years. Actually let me exclude overwatch, I have seen references to that in the rave community. I don't think it's a political thing, just games aren't a place of escapism so don't fit many ravers brands. They are politically charged arguments we'd avoid at or associated with events.
I'd probably do chaturbate again on the side before twitch because chaturbate is less damaging and perceived as less toxic.
anyways for the love of god please check out my album and patreon if you dig something it definitely helps out right now. Even just sharing tracks you like or an app I made someone else could use goes a long way
