Every day brings new analyses of the AI bubble: the overinvestment in data centers, the lack of profits, the unreliability of LLMs, the impact on energy and the environment… Yet nothing and nobody can hit the brakes. The financial market is a runaway train and we are all passengers.

I don't believe that every CEO is evil, especially in smaller companies. However, I saw with my own eyes how pitches are designed to attract money from people who don't care about games, and how they do it? By inflating the returns. When that inevitably doesn't happen, investors pull the plug.

The legal landscape for game accessibility has changed. GPSR requires safety, EAA requires accessible comms & ecommerce. The deadlines are upon us, but many devs remain unaware. If you don't know about these laws yet, you need to! Info: igda-gasig.org/what-and-why... #gamedev #indiedev

Okay, first post here on BlueSky. Honestly, I’m just glad to be somewhere that isn’t LinkedIn. That place feels like a never-ending convention of self-proclaimed gurus and buzzword enthusiasts. The louder the pitch, the fuzzier the facts. We’re living in a Dunning-Kruger dystopia.

You are up to date.
