Episode 71
UPDATED CONTEXT: About half an hour after I finished editing this episode, Sony announced via twitter that they will not be moving forward with the update that initiated this controversy.
Game:
- Incredible satirical propaganda
- Community controls the marketing
- Great lore, full commitment
- Accidentally creating a union
Develop:
- "Everything is game design" - Jonathan Rogers Interview (PoE2)
- Communication is key, poor communication can become an unintentional scam
- Be very aware of who has control over what
Repeat:
- How would you find space to think in the midst of a massive controversy?
- How do you find space to create, in the chaos of life?
- Acknowledge or ignore how little control you have, then make things anyway
