ゼッタイ諦めないけど！！！

[Ed Fear @edfear]

賛成。子供のころからずーとゲームクリエイターになりたかったのに、ゲームを作ることが大好きなのに、業界に入ってから18年間経ったのに、、、他の仕事にすれば良かったとよく思う

[kentoon🇯🇵🇺🇸 @kentoon]

アメリカのゲーム業界に長くいる身として、近年の大量レイオフはリーマンショック時とは比較にならないほど異常だと肌で感じている。
気になって「何が起きているのか」をAIに分析させてみたら、巷の『AIが仕事を奪っている」という俗説とは全く違う、業界の深刻な構造破綻が見えてきた。👇

I haven't mentioned this here yet ('m mostly on Bluesky nowadays) but at the end last year I started an indie venture. Say hello to Emanation Games!

I can't call it a "studio" as it's just me for now, but the first prototype is nearly ready to start getting eye(s) on... maybe 😅

[Ed Fear @edfear]

最初のプロトタイプは好調に進んでいて、4月からプライベートに友達や業界の知り合いに見せたいと思います。もうすぐ、、、もうすぐ、、、😅

[Ed Fear @edfear]

ところで、Xで報告するのは遅いですが、去年ゲーム開発会社を立ち上げました！まぁ、社員は僕だけなのでスタジオとは言えないけど、これからインディーズとしてやっていきまーす！ってほうがかなーw
社名はEmanation Games（エマネーションゲームズ）
皆さんのご支援を、引き続きよろしくお願いします

This must be the first time that a technological advancement has pushed us *back* into the uncanny valley

@TonicDave This is awesome! NotebookLM is definitely one of the most useful applications of AI I've used so far, the podcasts are insane. Now graphics too?!

[Ed Fear @edfear]

So it doesn't matter if Jim Bob or Jane CEO plays games. Regardless of that, their job will always be to deliver growth for shareholders. Not make the best games.

And when growth is looking weak, you do the next best thing: you slash and cut and de-risk. And here we are.

[Ed Fear @edfear]

Put it this way: I got laid off by a CEO who is a gamer, who was taking orders from a guy who is a gamer. At other studios, I've seen half the workforce laid off by a gamer.

The idea that a gamer is better as a leader by virtue of being a gamer is hella flawed.

[Christopher Dring @Chris_Dring]

You don’t have to be a gamer to work in video games. You don’t have to have a gaming background to run a game company.

The industry could do with some outside thinking, frankly.

[Ed Fear @edfear]

The personal hobbies of leadership isn't what we should be rallying against.

It's that no company that make games should ever be, or ever be owned by, a public company.

Because under our current flawed flavour of capitalism, shareholders - not customers - will always be no. 1.

[Ed Fear @edfear]

@Chris_Dring oh Dringo. I don't think you're wrong, really - Xbox has a major identity problem anyway, and there have been great CEOs from outside games before, as you know. But you are a stronger person than I to be fighting this out on X 😔

[Ed Fear @edfear]

Oh look they remember it exists huh
