At the very least an updated version of the Book should point out that RPGs are still being made for these old systems, and the above suggestions would serve as excellent examples.
Yes, this is what I intend to do. The updated version will only go up to 2019 anyway, so seems more interesting to talk about these games as a movement, also including stuff like SKALD: Against the Black Priory and The Fall of the Black Mage.At the very least an updated version of the Book should point out that RPGs are still being made for these old systems, and the above suggestions would serve as excellent examples.
Felipepepe, do you accept game article contributions? I'd be happy to add Prelude to Darkness, Pathologic, The Void, Precursors and Vendetta to your book, including screenshots. If yes, how long should the text be? Do you have any limits for characters, so it fits the full page well?Yes, this is what I intend to do.

Maybe a good solution would be an article about the appeal of making & playing these games, like the ones on the first pages of the book.
Hey Konjad, I accept contributions, but I already have someone writing about Prelude to Darkness, Pathologic I'm still unsure if I'll add and the others are too niche, I can't add everything...Felipepepe, do you accept game article contributions?

Sure, I'm always looking for help!Can I review Grimoire: Heralds of the Winged Exemplar for your book?

But that's basically why I'm doing an updated version... I want it to be a "definitive edition", I really don't plan on ever updating it again once it's done... got other things to do in lifeRecommendation: Don't do an "updated version". Do a "Volume II" instead. Then those who bought the first can just buy the next volume. You could potentiality rework the first book into a volume for each decade. Then this becomes your life's work and you're stuck having to release a new volume every decade.
Oh, for sure. And there's no way I can compete with that, so the only solution I can personally work on is to show the holes in reporting to lots of people and shame the journos for how incomplete and biased their reporting is.You say that news outlets don't talk about certain games. Have you though that this may be mostly caused by monetary interest of those who own/fund them, including advertises? Corporations can talk a lot about how they love free market, but they do everything to make sure no one would compete with them.
Yes, but the problem is that this approach can easily be distorted into "he's a gamegater talking about corruption & ethics in journalism, we can ignore him".You can show holes in coverage, however explaining people that one of the main reason behind this behavior is economical in nature is important. Most people understand how ideology/politics influences press coverage, but not many look at the economic aspect of news. And economical aspect can often explain a lot.

That's false, it's precisely the distorted perception that their bad journalism planted on you. Free Fire is not "just" one of the biggest games in the world and extremely popular in Asia and Latin America, it's also the top grossing mobile battle royale in the US: https://sensortower.com/blog/state-of-mobile-battle-royale-q1-2021I haven't listened to the Podcast yet, but why do you think they should talk about those games? They are made for the Chinese (and Korean) market and not very popular in the West. The only ting which makes them interesting is that they are hugely profitable.Yes, but the problem is that this approach can easily be distorted into "he's a gamegater talking about corruption & ethics in journalism, we can ignore him".
Roblox is also a universe of its own, with a much younger audience, which generates huge revenues, but yes - it flied under the radar.
So even in the US it's bigger than Call of Duty mobile and PUBG mobile. Those two got coverage, Free Fire didn't.
I think they legit don't care, don't have any financial incentive to care and talk to an audience that doesn't care/know. They don't play these games, don't know people who play (or develop) them, other websites also don't report on them and the PR companies haven't been able (or haven't tried) to make them care.What are the reasons in your opinion? Both PUBG and Fire Fire are from Asian developers and both are part of the Tencent investment ecosystem?So even in the US it's bigger than Call of Duty mobile and PUBG mobile.
