this dovetails into larger discussions about the inherent artistic restraints of AAA and any kind of mass-market media, and if there is something beyond use of AI we need to be interrogating more deeply. long before generative AI people were critiquing AAA for being blandly repetitive and formulaic
if AI is a hardline no for you, as it is for many of us, you gotta start getting into truly independent shit or simply accept the slop. i don't think AI is "inevitable" but i do think the tech-adjacent games industry is currently and in the near future saturated with it

When we made our systemic game MirrorMoon EP about the manipulation of systems, the play of contingency, and the brokenness of machines, you commented, “Oh, so experimental games mean Portal guns now?”
It traumatised us so much we’ve been making games exclusively about Italian politics ever since

The interesting, sophisticated thing about games is not whether they can tell stories as well as books or movies (they can’t) or float shocking themes as well as fine art (honestly, who cares).
It’s the manipulation of systems, the play of contingency, the brokenness of machines.

the big platform holders in general don't really know that much about art, don't really like art, don't care about art, and certainly won't stick their neck out for art... so it makes sense that we're rapidly reliving all the censorship battles from the 20th century

melos actually discussed exactly this a while ago, saved this from twitter in the pre-bluesky days because it was foundational to my understanding of percentage counts as a potential harm to a game's staying power. two images because the alt text wouldn't fit on one

if you want the cultural ecosystem to go along with a new left wing political ecosystem that isn't just a bunch of podcasters and internet personalities you got to build it up. it doesn't have to be attached to any one political campaign or personality, it just has to exist and be visible.

and i don't mean just covering One Battle After Another or some big thing coming down the pipeline with obvious political resonances that you can make some kind of heavy-handed political argument for i.e. Jacobin, i mean covering anything and everything that's interesting

broken record on this but a similarly great beat for left wing media would be covering arts and culture and not just focusing primarily on politics and current events because there's a massive void there right now
it does seem like there’s a major—though potentially fleeting—opportunity to invest in left-wing media. more than a million people in the most populous city in america just enthusiastically elected a democratic socialist and the world is watching. putting $$ towards left media rn is good business.

The amount of people who’ve let their moral OCD get so fucked by the worst anti-AI arguments (“stealing”) that they’re just like full on “Palworld is PLAGIARIZING the find people at Nintendo” is kinda worrying ngl. A lot of peoples “pro-stealing” facade is gonna flip in the next decade.
