071: Propaganda and Helldivers 2

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
