It shouldn't be a hot take but I still believe that if you can't accept apologies and attempts to do better no matter what, people will never be motivated to do better or even try.

Why Are Thin Bodies the Default in Games?
Motion capture has the ability to capture fat bodies. So why don't we see more plus-size characters in games?

the way darker skinned black video game female characters are treated has always been pretty horrible both from a dev side and a fandom side. i don’t really see that getting any better but despite it all i still will continue to put dark skin women in my projects

my biggest advice to any freelancer who is looking to work in the games industry is to Always Apply To That Job. even if you aren’t 100% qualified, having your name and resume known to the studio you are applying to can get you work in the future.

if we are being honest, as an industry we dont need any new consoles until at least 2030. everyone is rushing to put out a new console when the old consoles not selling, nobody has money and PC market is about to make a major comeback as the price of ram is about to go down after the AI bubble pops

losing my shit because the dev of Butterfly Soup is making a new game that's like if Pentiment was set in Chinese folklore and had a Disco Elysium skill tree, and the music is being composed by the same person who's doing Delphinium

We worked real hard and did a huge amount of quality of life stuff (mouse control, text logs), added New Game Plus, and a bunch of extra dialog bits for Demonschool. It's also currently the Steam daily deal at 30% off! Good time to grab it if you haven't.

so Horses was a problem, but Valve I guess is fine with this racist crap that flagrantly violates at least two of its content guidelines and has 300+ reviews that all almost certainly violate those guidelines too
