In an age of social distancing and home confinement, Oshry, who is CEO of New Blood Interactive (Dusk, Amid Evil), has advocated for radical generosity from the game industry. This episode also includes conversation about Steam’s new update policy, development and shipping delays, and what 2008’s Great Recession can tell us about how the game industry will be impacted by COVID-19.
Later this week, Emily Rose of Rebind.io will be on the show to discuss how arthouse indies are faring during this crisis and what the community can do to support them.
