Did an interview with a major outlet on running a stable business in games & how to minimize layoffs. It's not going to come out now because as part of the IGN acquisition of Gamer Network, the journalist who was going to write the article JUST GOT LAID OFF.

To all dream chasers: every job will eventually feel like a "job". I don't say this with cynicism but to encourage you to frequently step back & appreciate what you've achieved. What you're doing vs. what you *might* be doing had you not taken the risks to get where you are.

No matter the position or how passionate you are for it, a lot of it will feel like work eventually. Cool work, fulfilling, but work. “Do what you love & you’ll never work a day in your life” is a myth. Some days you’d rather be camping.

Will reiterate that I built & structured my company specifically as an antithesis to the AAA model of instability. It has been working since 2016 &, while certainly hairier the past 24 months, continues to work. It is not impossible to run a stable company in games.

My wife planned us a camping trip that conflicts with PAX West. I was about to cancel the trip, but did a quick tally & I have been camping 0 times since 2013, but have been to PAX 6 times. I think I might skip PAX this year & roast marshmallows. Sorry to the friends I'll miss.
