Cyberpunk 2077 CRUNCH vs A Culture of HYPE // Why Game Crunch Needs to Change

It's great to be excited about video games but not at the expense of the people who develop them. A tid bit of new information on Cyberpunk 2077 has been released from a recent Game Informer Podcast. They suggest that the cycle of "Crunch" and more accurately the reporting of it has been overblown. Even suggesting that several developers couldn't feel pride in the accomplishment of their game being release due to the public focuses so much on Crunch. Myself and Labour Studios PhD Christo Aivalis discuss the implications of this statement how why the perceived excitement or HYPE for a game should never out weigh accurately criticizing it.

The Outer Worlds' Condemnation of Capitalism Told Through Art Design

The Outer Worlds is set in a utopian world, in the far reaches of space that has a late capitalism problem. Many of the critiques of the 'gilded age' in our history are retrofitted for this new magical world of discover. One of the most effective ways to inform us of this rot is through art design. I spoke with Terry Hess, Lead/Senior Environment Artist on The Outer Worlds about emergent story telling and how The Outer Worlds tells you what to feel without telling you what to feel.

E9 // How Video Game Journalism Can Be Progressive with Patrick Klepek

The conceit of “Ethics in Video Game Journalism,” was used by bad faith actors to malign progressive video game journalists under the guise of intellectual freedom. This same practice has been writ large and encompasses most of the current North American political spectrum. I’m joined this week by Waypoint Senor Reporter, Patrick Klepek who found himself involved in the Gamer Gate saga so many years ago. What is the current state of video game journalism? What part does Youtube play in adjusting the narrative into 2019?

E8 // Is Red Dead Redemption 2 Worth 100 Hour Work Weeks? Horse Ball Physics

No. Unless it was part of a collective bargaining agreement with your union……Surprisingly, I found some other people that disagree with this praxis. Andy, Matt and Anton talk Rockstar Games and their kerfuffle with labour laws and the making of Red Dead Redemption 2. If something is your passion should you sacrifice your health? Are Video Games becoming frankly, too big to NOT have human suffering? Does anyone really care about horse ball physics?
