Game dev matriarch, uniboober, mild adventurer, tired since 1993
My favourite and most hated thing about being an indie game dev is always having to learn new things.

This awful, don't get me wrong, but also somewhat validating? At every scale making a game is just really difficult.

When executives lay off THOUSANDS because of their terrible strategy and don’t take any accountability, it’s not hard to find the problem. Or the solution. But shareholders are overprioritized, so the board chickens out and refuses to make change for sustainability.

You would not believe how many stories like this have been popping up over the last ~5 years Not just full games cancelled—entire characters and plot lines removed or changed, leaving less time for making the *rest of the game better*, to try avoiding a small and malicious contingent of voices.
