The point of making games is releasing them, not how you manage. If you could make a game by using macros in excel, thats fine. Programming is usually required to make games, but with interactive fiction is possible that some people will be able to make games just using the tools at they disposal, maybe getting help in packaging by having somebody make the installer.

wtf, no. Just loving no.

It's been 24 hours since I've seen an episode of MLP, my supply of snacks is running low and the electric bill is due in a week. The only thing that keeps me going are encouraging letters from my waifu.

There aren't nearly enough Jews in video games. And when there are you mostly play as Soviets or allies during WWII saving Jews who are stripped of all agency. I'm not saying this needs to be changed, but antisemitism is a very pervasive trend in video games industry and the way Jewish symbolism is used in games such as Final Fantasy VII or Devil May Cry perpetuates many hurtful stereotypes.

Some games are dumb toys to waste your time and some aspire to be something more than that mechanically and/or story-wise.

I don't know if we really need to change dumb ones to be more inclusive, because, frankly, I suck at most games and the ones I play regularly tend to be chess clones and other games that rarely feature strong character development or whatever. So I don't care that much how many points you get for dead prostitutes in some FPS. And hey, if one day they decide to change all female skins in League of Legends to be more modest, I wouldn't care either. But even as it is, if it's fun to play, play it. It's not like games can make you gay or a rapist. Neither can books, films and even comics, unless you're a disturbed individual to begin with.

Do we need more artsy games, or games delving into complex subjects? Why not. I rather like some of them, too.

Yeah, that'd be great, which is why we don't need a clique of a dozen San Francisco hipsters controlling all the media coverage in favor of churned-out low effort poo poo they made themselves. If games are good, then people will probably buy them.

I actually wanted to mention this game as a very rare positive example of a game with Jewish characters. But this is just one game out of literally hundreds of thousands.

What I would also like to mention is that in existing antisemitic society we all live in, many Jews develop internalised antisemitism. So even when you say that there are plenty of Jewish game developers, like Dave Gilbert, it doesn't mean that their depiction of Jews is always good.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.angryjew.game
Yes, this game is literally called Angry Jew, and although it's made by Jews, you play as a caricature of a Jew killing Slavic people to restore Jewish holy books (cf. blood libel, i.e. Jews were believed to use blood of Christians in their rituals).
