@avantgame but you're not saying they _have_ to, right? just that it's possible to do so in some cases & worth researching how/why. -
@chrisamaphone right, no one has to do the research, but indie game developers should stop yelling at us to STOP doing the research :)

@avantgame@schezar@jordosh Powerful form of art = doesn't the industry shoulder some responsibility in what it's putting out there? -
@schezar@avantgame@jordosh Yes, convo is happening in some circles, but it's not the norm and a hard-sell for risk-adverse AAA publishers. -
@hegemonyrules@avantgame@jordosh Case in point. I moderated this at a different conference, and the AAA designers were not allowed to sit.
