While @omarieclaire is on tour doing events in Japan for our comic exploring alternative game production modes like co-ops and unions, we're posting little excerpts from the white paper that informed it: https://t.co/U9kYpsS7mn
Over the next few months we'll be posting little excerpts while @omarieclaire tours Change The Rules -- the first one debunks myths like "Decision-making is slow and co-operatives introduce new bureaucracy." See you soon, Vancouver and @DIGCommunity!
