hahaha no but that would be cool. i simply meant he owned the home of the person who created BMG

like i get it - i, too, once believed that they merely materialized into our meat space, not that someone owned them or could own things

yeah Zach has always been a nice guy to me but he definitely comes from money, in addition to all the money he made off of Spelltower etc. heā€™s kind of famously wealthy to people in the NYC scene.

At last, the shape of thinking to comeā€¦ someone finally wants to ā€œā€"ā€œelevate thinkingā€""" out of the detested pits of low culture, as if posturing as an intellectual or smart thinker werenā€™t a tried and true way that stupid shit is made to look praise worthy and lucrative.

Iā€™m going into the city with my friends, have a decent lunch, and then weā€™re all getting trepanned to exclude ourselves from this thinky future.

on the one hand: a lot of these kinds of puzzle games are pretty niche and itā€™s probably good thereā€™s some sort of funding or resources to support them

on the other hand: a lot of these games kinda fall into the same niche/cliches as far as design, which has always been a problem with the indie space. saying ā€œwe want to expand the horizons!ā€ but then actively ignoring anything that doesnā€™t fit that particular nicheā€™s approaches as somehow lesser or irrelevant. and seemingly being totally unaware of your blind spots, and actively ignoring anyone who points them out. and as with any fund like this or publisher like this iā€™m sure thereā€™s a lot of weird shitty politics involved with getting funding (i.e. favoritism, lack of labor protections, weird legal hoops etc) that make it way less attractive of a deal than it sounds on the surface. so itā€™s just another gatekeeper in the space at the end of the day.

edit: if any of these indie publishers or funders wants people to trust them, they have to consistently demonstrate that thereā€™s anything worth trusting about them and the way they run stuff. which obviously weā€™re not in the climate right now where anyone has to do that at all because they hold basically all the cards right now.
