You’re not wrong, but there are some wrinkles to this

  1. NYU GameCenter doesn’t offer tenure, only five-year renewable professorships. Actual full-time professorships are wildly rare and often have weird strings attached like having to transfer between foreign satellite campuses every year.

  2. GameCenter is a vocational program and the students who attend it are looking to build careers making games. Having professors who have made all their money from teaching for 5-30 years are ineffective at providing professional advice, guidance, and connections.

I’m not claiming that Bennett made the choices he made purely out of service to his students or whatever but I do think there’s complicated considerations here. It’s not like he took a job at Facebook in which case I think there would be a compelling argument that he simply turned his back on his principles.

Thanks all.

Around 15 years ago when I was a kid I got two games for Windows 95, Magic Carpet and one other game whose name I’ve never been able to remember. It’s cover was like a plane with a human face, and I remember it being a very flat airplane design, like a boomerang rather than a realistic airplane shape. I think it wasn’t that much unlike Magic Carpet, as in a first person game where you flew around and clicked to shoot at stuff, but I think this game was on rails rather open world like Magic Carpet which we can agree was an open world game. I think thematically it might have involved flying into cyberspace and shooting stuff.

I don’t know if this vague description would ring any bells of old PC games but I’ve never been able to find it and thought it might be worth a shot asking here.

Also, play Megarace.

windows 95 in 2004? shit, man.

Look, I’m just very frugal on my computer expenditures (yes, it was a typo).

i used windows 98SE until 2009-2010

my condolences
