I’ve never heard of CWA. Would be nice to get them really emailing/connecting the right people.

I feel like I read articles like this every few years. And outside of the folding proteins “game”, I rarely see them get mainstream appeal and contribution.

In more positive news, I do see a lot of open-source projects, run by volunteers, get public contributions, which tells me people do want to help.

This might come off as being a old gamer, but I feel like they’ve been saying this about AAA games since 2000s.

Sure, 90% of them will play it super safe. But there’s always 1 AAA game that breaks the mold and suddenly, the AAA games will follow that. Or imitate whatever indie game is doing with a higher budget.

Is this real? Did I just not get far enough?
