It comes down to what you define the "democratic system" as. If you consider an open forum of ideas to be at odds with "demos" and "kratos", maybe it's your definition of democracy that's lacking.

Reading this made me sad because I know all too well how much it hurts when your product tanks. BELIEVE ME I KNOW. Still, two thoughts. 1. I've said it a million times. If you are a public figure, filter your inputs. A lot of people out there have fun making you scared and sad,

Whenever I read about a creator being hurt/thrown off by internet feedback, I want to repost this. This is one of my favorite, truest things I've ever written. Survival advice: bottomfeeder.substack.com/p/how-i-deal-w…

I wish we had more dudes like 🜏 Edmund McMillen 🜏 in #gamedev. Some terminally online idiots try to stir up controversy, and that madman just goes "...cool" and goes straight back to laughing about dumb cats. You can't get any cooler than that, bless your heart funny beard man!

Yes... because that shot existed... I can also photocopy the most expensive painting in the world for a couple of cents... Do you AI bros all have the same birth defect?

#DOOMTDA truly is a magical game. It manages to make controlling a 100m tall mech one of the most boring and mundane things imaginable... Rarely has a level left me with the feeling of "...this could have been a cutscene"...

I worked in corporations designing computer games 1988-2012. The scenario below is appallingly true. I myself was responsible for several such mishaps.

I left the computer game industry in 2012 (except for a few dabbling moments). But what it sounds like is the studio suits are bringing in "experts" to be the middle managers and producers and keep the toxic old-fashioned devs under control. The experts may or may not even play

Congratulations to PlayStation and Sony for deciding to abandon an entire market sector just because you failed to force it to adapt your network. You're in good company, making dumb decisions while chasing the shareholder white rabbit is the "in" thing to do at the moment!

The devs immediately introduced a new mode in response to criticism (too few players per match, too much downtime) and it *immediately* resonated more. So yes, players demonstrably knew better. Devs aren't entitled to people liking the shit they pump out.
