I like how the ultimate Patreon offer is $5000 for him to pull out of the games industry all together, stop writing/making games, etc. Think about it. $5000 was all this guy was imagining making out of the industry. If he had to pick a number that served as a numeric sum of his effort in the industry, even he's just like "ehh, five thou"

Space Bat posted:Yo check this, what if I say books are bad because they have violence in them? Well that depends. Nowadays people will probably jump down your throat for censorship, but I'm pretty sure that wasn't what you were asking. Option A: You're murdering art because violence is an integral part of the human spirit and post-modernism uses violence in books to highlight the flaws in our society. Dada believes that art is already dead due to  WORLD WAR 2 but you're crossing on their turf so you better back off unless you wanna get cut and have your face dunked into a fountain urinal/urinal fountain.Option B: You're progressing the cause of humanism and trying to get people to look past their barbaric ways, you are essentially the modern man. And like Modern Men before us, we should, rightfully, throw away old things and ideas. People will probably caution you about the hastiness of your conclusion, partly because they're right and mostly because they like violent books too much to let them go. To this simply reply that the environment is in danger and they could stand to start doing their part. This makes critics scatter away like roaches from a flashlight, oddly enough.

I can either walk to grandma's house with no problem, or get lost in a giant forest that has a billion worthless collectibles that seem to do nothing. They only make games for gamers. Donkey Kong had lots of collectibles so their game needed lots of collectibles. It's the Ubisoft philosophy of game design. Not enough content? Add more chests with text in them. Still not enough? Add more chests.

One of the questions that has been bouncing around since I was a young child was whether or not video games count as art. During the times of Jack Thompson, it was argued that video games couldn’t be banned, because the first amendment protected free speech. People would then go on to say that video games were obviously protected under the first amendment, because art! By this point, we’ve won that fight. People consider video games art. And then studios like Tale of Tales shut down, and I wonder if we really do care about them as art. I’m really not trying to blame anyone here. I’m not saying you’re wrong if you claim that AAA games are art, because many of them are. It takes a large amount of skill, talent, and creativity to make games like Skyrim and Grand Theft Auto V. And clearly, unconventional Indie games can do just fine. Gone Home has been incredibly well received, as has The Novelist. At the same time, do we really give enough attention to the non-conventional games made by companies like Tale of Tales? Gone Home got big as much because of it’s connection with the QUILTBAG community as anything else. That’s not a complaint, and I’m incredibly grateful to the Fullbright Company for making the game. But is it exploring what kind of emotions and thought processes can be stirred up by the media of video games, or is it simply telling a story that connects with a lot of people, yet doesn’t get told very often? Then again, there’s always The Stanley Parable, which is absolutely playing with the media of video games and discovering what sorts of emotions and thoughts it can stir up. And by all accounts, it did just fine in sales. So why didn’t Tale of Tales’ adventures exploring social unrest (Sunset), growth (The Path) and nature (The Endless Forest)? At the end of it all, I can’t say why none of the games from Tale of Tales caught on. I found them interesting, and I thought they were worth exploring and purchasing in order to support the creativity and exploration of the media. But I can’t say that “the gaming community” dislikes that idea, because games like Papers, Please and Among the Sleep do just fine in sales. All I can say is that we’ve definitely lost something with the Tale of Tales moving away from game development, and we are poorer for it.

In light of Tale of Tales closure, Michaël Samyn has started a Patreon called Unfettered Commentary on Video Games and the World. This will fund Samyn's commentary on what he finds problematic about the video games industry at large these days. "In 2002 I chose to use videogames as my artistic medium. The more I got to know the technology, the industry, the creators and the audience, the less I liked what I saw. I used to be quite vocal about this until I noticed that people seemed to hate me so much that they didn't want to play our games. So I shut my mouth, closed my Twitter, closed my Facebook, and only spoke publicly in diplomatic calculated marketing terms. Until now. Nothing much has changed in videogames. And I don't see a bright future for this medium if some radical changes don't happen soon. I am ready to share my views on this and the broader economic, political and social context. I have no commercial interest in the game industry anymore. I have nothing to lose. I can safely bite the hand that was unable to feed me. But I only care if you do. A long list of topics I am eager to discuss has been piling up for years. I've had to bite my lip so many times that I'm not even sure if I can still speak. But with your help I will try. I will try to express my feelings in concise articles published monthly or fortnightly for all to see. Maybe this will inspire some to make the many changes necessary to improve the situation. If not I hope it will contribute, however modestly, to the utter annihilation of videogames as we know them. That would be nice."
