Traditional Games Publishing is broken

…and we can fix it via new models and flexible approaches that actually support developers, in new places (like Ireland)

Had an incredible time speaking at Nexus in Ireland about the future of Publishing

Disgusting loss. It’s painful now but will be a good lesson for them later.

Love has to take command. Matt has to coach better.

Embarrassing result and it’s very much on the coaches. Offense and Special Teams first and foremost.

Newark is a shit airport, somehow never been through it before and now I know something worse than O’Hare.

Also the most unhappy group of workers I’ve ever seen.

Tombwater / Legend of Baboo both named next to Silksong. Really cool!
Silksong, smacking sticks and other new indie games worth checking out
There are some juicy freebies and discounts on Epic Games Store and Prime Gaming too.

Random toy fact: Barbie is from Willows, Wisconsin (a fake city)

Ken too.

Cheesehead Barbie is a missed opportunity.
