So long 2023! Thank you for the great game dev stories

PreMortem.Games

On the last working day of 2023 we take one final look over our shoulder to see what we are leaving behind. This year was a two-faced monster. A stellar year for game releases, that’s for sure. But also a dreadful year for job security in game development, with a heartbreaking 10.000 layoffs. We look towards 2024 with a mixture of hope and fear, but also with a strong belief in the ability of people to bounce back.

As a game developer, what are your thoughts on “pay to win” mechanics (I.E. being able to buy more “power” in a game, particularly multiplayer ones, with money), both in business terms and in “fun” terms.
