Journalists have so much bad faith. I know, it\u2019s business. That\u2019s also why that career means less than ever.<\/p>\n<p>2. Making multiplayer, fast-paced computer games with millions of people playing through a large variety of machine is an insanely complex task.

The race to bottomless content is unrealistic and stupid: first it\u2019s not economically sustainable, even for Epic. Second, pushing for novelty as incentive to do anything is so bad for culture and game culture! You can enjoy something that\u2019s been cooked days ago. A music album that\u2019s 21 years old. An 800-year-old cathedral. But not with computer games. We have to stop this.<\/p>\n<p>4. The battle for audience and the winner-takes-all approach that everyone looks forward to, is our demise.
