When EA cancelled the Star Wars FPS project at Respawn, Vince fought like hell to save the project behind the scenes. When EA refused to budge, Vince made sure nobody got laid off and that everyone was able to find a home within EA.
This is so tragic

I remeber getting a call at CAA, from a very upset Vince and Jason. “Bobby is trying to take away the team’s royalty. Can you help?” It was such a hard time, and they were so strong for their team. He deserves better than this. It’s so sad.

And if they don’t - wow, that’s great for you! You’re going to leave your competition in the dust.

Or what, Good Samaritan? Why are you so concerned for me? Won’t you benefit if I falter and stumble into the dust bin of history?

If devs are *licensing* their own tech, sure. But a dev saying “if you don’t use bump mapping / IK / Source Engine you’re a Luddite / stuck in the past / etc.” - why would they care?
IME if someone uses tech that has self-evident value, people scramble to adopt it.

I’ve been in game dev for 26 years and I can’t remember any other time where a specific tech was being insistently and persistently pushed on devs as a group in the public sphere.
Why would it? Cui bono? Why would any given dev have an interest in other devs using tech they don’t have a stake in?

My conspiracy theory about genAI in games blowing up more and more by big companies is that they’ve all got a ton of investors insisting they use genAI tools otherwise they(investors) won’t be able to bankroll em anymore

There's a way in which many people in the audience (films, games, whatever) are inherently suspicious of storytellers and this is an example of how that manifests.
It's a compulsion to *beat* the art they consume. Find a way to assert themselves over the work. Selfish and stupid.

This is explained in a long, unmissable scene *halfway through the movie*, not the ending, and then further discussed about a hundred fucking times before said ending. I despise this era of internet

there's an official Outfoxies T you can buy from Namco's amazon merch on demand store (so there's a chance you can buy it via your local Amazon) which is a replica of the T-shirt the character John Smith wears in the game
The game clearly has deep t-shirt lore going on
