Is it worth buying discounted PS5 games today during Prime Day even though I have been unable to secure a PS5? Hmmm.
Absolutely brilliant essay from @ibjade that you should read. Solid assessment of how games are becoming (and need to be) malleable and how creative control is no longer in the hands of directors but fans. future.a16z.com/fans-drive-h…

Oh hey, great, so @Activision @ea and @2K are cool taking boatloads of cash from MBS now? Just ignore the human rights atrocities and murder of a journalist and pump out more CoD! Too bad @hasanminhaj doesn't still have his Netflix show to discuss... gamasutra.com/view/news/3776…
