Each episode interviews a different guest about something that either games or the people who play them frequently get wrong: It could be something mechanical, like climbing. It could be something born of narrative and world building, like Cyberpunk 2077’s obsession with artificial limbs and exoskeletons, a... more

Once upon a time, it seemed like a pitch deck and a dream could land a game developer cash from a deep-pocketed investor or a reliable publisher, and for a minute in 2020, games appeared to be a pretty safe bet as far as price-y years-long gambles go... more

  • An underrated companion podcasts to Aftermath Hours. This pitches itself as a show dispelling misconceptions but it also functions as a set of cool mini-docs about videogame and culture stuff.

  • Great idea, but needs more intentional structure!

    The premise of the show is great but the standard interview format focuses the conversations more on general grievances than specific case studies that would both illustrate the episode topic and allow for concise critique. Right now the show is too bogged down in the guests’ negative views on games, and isn’t leading each interview toward solutions beyond “be better, games.” I’m here because I like games, so the ideal version of this show gives critique while also casting specific vision for a ... more

  • After it’s inaugural episode, this is a promising show!

    While I think that the format of the show could benefit from more prepared anecdotes specifically related to games (for example, in if books could kill, which is cited as an inspiration, there is often a work that serves as the basis for critique with specific passages pulled and analyzed), i did really love the first episode and thought rami had an urgently important viewpoint to share. looking forward to more and to your future success!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What Happened To All The Money That Used To Fund Video Games?
Q: What are the ways that people try to de-risk games and how does that impact what players ultimately end up experiencing?
Funders increasingly want polished vertical slices, announced games, and evidence of audience interest before providing money. Developers must shoulder more early costs, and projects may be shaped toward familiar, marketable approaches rather than discovering their design through funded development.
What Happened To All The Money That Used To Fund Video Games?
Q: Can you break down the difference between investors and publishers?
Publishers are typically more integrated partners, with infrastructure for marketing, public relations, and bringing games to market. Investors are generally more hands-off and seek a financial return, often through selling their stake or a public offering.
Twitch (With Nathan Grayson)
Q: What spurred the big mainstream moment for Twitch?
The mainstream moment for Twitch coincided with Fortnite's rise and the viral success of Ninja streaming with celebrities like Drake.
Twitch (With Nathan Grayson)
Q: How does Twitch monetize?
Twitch monetizes primarily through ads and takes a percentage of subscriptions from creators' earnings, usually around 50-50.
Twitch (With Nathan Grayson)
