Game development is, in some ways, more accessible than ever. Between the ease-of-use of engines like RPG Maker to the release of titles like Game Builder Garage that gamify the act of development itself, there are countless ways into game development that do not require previous experience of coding or design. The opportunity for creation with engines like Unreal, Unity and more is enormous.

It’s hard to believe it’s been nearly a decade since Stefano Petrullo formed Renaissance PR. Petrullo was well known to the UK games industry back in 2015, primarily for handling PR for Ubisoft, which included promoting games like Watch Dogs, Assassin’s Creed and Far Cry. He was well positioned to make the transition to being independent, but the rise of Renaissance in the years since has been nothing short of astounding.

I don't think there's a term called "memory loss", but you're probably thinking of a "memory leak". A memory leak is when a program grabs more memory for use while looping than it releases. This results in the machine using more and more memory over time, thus having less and less available memory to use. This causes slowdown and eventually crashing once all of the available memory has been used.
