Traditional 3rd party publishing is dead
There was a time when players anxiously awaited the next game from EA and Activision.
Today, traditional game publishing is a dead model - a dinosaur of ages past. Here's why (🧵 )
1) Culture Rot
Game publishers were once a haven for geeks and creatives geeks who didn't fit into society. Rebel culture created a private world of freedom and innovation.
These days publishers are best known for excessive overtime, sexism, and clueless executives.
Our kids truly are the best of us.
My PUBG Lone Survivor art will no longer be lonely. My office is getting an upgrade!
Just wanted to give a shout out to (and a shameless plug for) my friend @Eliz0r.

Markets in the trash can. Perfect time to start or join a new company. We need builders now more than ever.
Pre Covid with one of my best friends (and a dog).
Now that I’m done with Krafton can officially say I’m looking for a Creative Director or Senior Game Designer (PC) for something new. AA experience a plus. 🏴☠️🎂🐷🥰
If interested, DM your info please and would be awesome if friends could kindly RT.
매우 감사합니다!
Bolt reinvents 401ks using what everyone already knew was a good idea
“Beginning in 2024, employees automatically enrolled in 401(k)s and 403(b)s unless opt out. Initial automatic contributions would be between 3% and 10% of pretax earnings, and amount would be increased by 1% each year until 10%.”
This should always have been the default.
Wish employers could also match college loan payments tax free. (Although that would probably just increase tuition costs).
Happy birthday to my friend @PLAYERUNKNOWN
The man is a damn legend.
