    Encouraging shifts in the games industry are taking place, but we still have so far to go. Read @carolynmichelle's personal reflections on GDC 2018, and what a talk on the landmark 1985 RPG The Bard's Tale reveals about then and now https://feministfrequency.com/2018/03/30/the-past-the-present-and-the-absent-reflections-on-gdc-2018/ …pic.twitter.com/DvqhI4jxga

        Dang this was a nice read. I'm also excited for the future of games; we have a lot of work to do to keep making it more inclusive and accessible, but I feel like we're getting better every day. We're so much stronger with diverse voices!

        Thanks for the reflections. I know I probably shouldn't be shocked by the lack of consideration of one's assumptions about audience from a game designer, but yet it still is shocking to me! Just some more evidence that straight, white, male is still the "default".

        Thanks for reading! And, to be fair, this was a guy who was making games in the mid-80s, but yes, that kind of thinking is still very common.

        Definite reason why we need more diversity in the gaming industry. Personally, I like exploring other worlds -- give me more viewpoints to experience than just 'CIS white male'.

        Nice article! Though I'm surprised that you didn't mention the uncomfortable and strange long segue-way he spent tearing down the character of another developer. It was the most bizarre talk I've ever attended at any GDC.

        That was awful, I agree. I deliberately left it out because I don’t want to in any way spread the things he said, and it didn’t seem essential to the overall thrust of my piece. But I understand what you’re saying.

        This is all well and good but video game companies seem to understand the industry better than most hard core gamers like yourself. Most people get a grand total of 10 hours a week to play video games IF they are lucky. They are not interested in a complex story.

        What game are you talking about? Night in the Woods? Night in the Woods was very successful.

        I don’t doubt that it was. Don’t get me wrong I love innovation and a great story with interesting characters. Except when I only have an hour or so a day I just to blow something up or play something with short matches. As I told my students, if you want compelling read a book.

        I...okay. I don’t understand what that has to do with the piece I wrote. I mean I think we need different kinds of games that do different things whether people play games for an hour a day or five.

        And to not expect more of games would be sad. I respect games as a medium too much for that. I don’t think they’re going to stop making games where you just blow shit up. But please don’t let those be the only games.

        Matpat actually did a review on this a number of years ago. I can provide a link if you like. Don't get me wrong I love innovation. I just don't have the time or the money to venture out of my comfort zone. Case in point "Life is Strange" is sitting in my PS4 library unplayed.

        That’s absolutely fine for you. Play what you want and what you prioritize with your limited gaming time. But let’s not pretend there’s no appetite for games that do different things.
