Incredible to get the founders perspective directly
Adam @fern on why @PirateNation and @ProofOfPlay are moving away from P2E mechanics.
Respawn never made Titanfall 2 in VR, so @CircuitLord did. Free mod, full campaign, full-body IK, manual reloads.

Was BioWare killed by EA, or by the idea that games are art?
Colan's take on why BioWare died is blunt: gaming is commerce. "Sorry, it just is."
Who is actually buying an $1,800 Xbox?
Kohji has heard enough, and the panel lands on an answer: us idiots.
@paralleltcgpod
WoW's map was bad for 20 years. A player fixed it, gave it away free, and got called "AI vibe coded slop". Is it?

Has BioWare actually made a great game in the last ten years?
Gnoc says the studio's last decade speaks for itself. Kohji is not having it.
@itsgnoc @paralleltcgpod
Tim Sweeney says Epic is going "maximum AI acceleration", and that the goal isn't fewer people. Steam still puts an AI label on store pages.
Would an AI label stop you from buying a great game?

Blizzard never made Diablo II in VR. A modder did, and it's free.

Trading... Gamified.
we all learned to trade in WoW where the auction houses are global
Azeroth Economics ep 1 ft @opensea
Would you sell your game data for cheaper games?
@OliverMaroney: "I would absolutely take a discount."
@willsspangler: "That could create another revenue stream and potentially drive down the price of games."
Would publishers pass the savings back?
Would you sell your tilt data?
@itsGnoc:
"They already know everything about me."
"You're going to give me a 50% discount... Go ahead. Have it."
"I would pay a subscription to see what tilts the people on the other side."
The data could work both ways.
China's mini-game economy is already worth roughly $7 billion.
@itsGnoc: "Everyone uses the same three apps."
@OliverMaroney: "We're processing seven different places to get users, not one. WeChat has one and it's working."
China built one system. America built seven.
Is a $2,000 double-sided phone... a gaming device?
@chrisheatherly: "This is a luxury device for rich guys."
@itsGnoc: "It's marginally better than the $700 iPad Mini, costs as much as a computer and comes with 256 gigabytes of storage."
Will games sell it?
Is Xbox turning around, or just getting better at PR?
Robin: "The Xbox machine is working. Fantastic."
@chrisheatherly: "She's in a tough spot."
@Tvalc: "The outrage is absolutely fabricated."
Three explanations for a company trying to change its story.
Ignorance may be bliss, but it's also killing your game launch.
Robin Boyar:
"Studios often don't do the testing, or don't listen to it."
"The workers who didn't control the greenlight are the ones who get hurt."
Poor decisions punish the people with the least control.

Nintendo has crashed 48% this year.
The question is not whether Nintendo is a great company.
It is whether the market has finally priced that greatness correctly.

84% of gaming happens on titles 2 years or older
is the gaming industry cooked, or is this just what mature industries turn into?
