Imagine you had to choose your life at age 40: Option A: Single. No kids. $10M net worth. Travel anywhere. Total freedom. Quiet house. Quiet holidays. Option B: Married. 3 kids. $1M net worth. Drive a Toyota. Chaos every morning. Loud house. Full dinner table. Be honest, which life are you choosing?

For good or ill, everything is basically opensourced now. Studios have IP, Brand and skills to rely on long term.
Slay the Spire 2 devs don't care about people pirating their game and say they are happy about other devs learning from their code: "Honestly, we don’t really," Card wrote. "We figure people who want to pirate it will find ways to pirate it, so there’s no reason to waste dev resources on it."

I think the moment a prototype turns into a game is when testing stops feeling like work and starts feeling like a run you don’t want to end.

The fascinating part is that in games the story often emerges from the systems. Players aren’t just experiencing it. They’re shaping it.
Said it before but video games feel like the natural evolution of art/storytelling Stories began with spoken word Books let us read them Radio let us hear them Movies/TV let us see them Video games let us be a part of them

We asked the developers of co-op horror game Blight: Survival what players can expect from the visceral, medieval combat... Make sure you’re in the official Discord for information on future playtests! @BlightSurvival @Behaviour @haenir_studio

Okay, this is ridiculous. I got distracted, but I just spent 12 minutes on this, sent a single prompt, and this is what Kai dynamically created using a team of agents. To be clear, these are BRAND NEW CUSTOM Agents that were spun up specifically for this task. HT @IndyDevDan

You extend your hand to hers. For all her past cruelties, the moment feels gentle, tender even.
