This site used to be Gamasutra didn't it?

  Yup, this post is how I found out that they changed their name. > Game Developer was first founded in 1997 as Gamasutra and has strived since its inception to be a leading resource and reference for game development and industry knowledge. Following the shift from Gamasutra to Game Developer in August 2021, the site has maintained that mission while embracing the in-depth content its namesake Game Developer magazine is known for. https://www.gamedeveloper.com/about-game-developer https://www.gamedeveloper.com/about-game-developer

  They renamed it because they decided being a pun on "Kama Sutra" was just weird and unprofessional. (Same for the NIPS conference. But oddly not for the science journal PNAS.)

    Shame that. Sutra is a word all on its own. Gamasutra was a nifty name. It works. One day sex positive triple-breasted feminist whores of Eroticon Six are all the rage the next you're sunsetting harmless Sanskrit puns. Y'all strange.

    My life just forked into "before I ever tried saying PNAS as a word" and "after I realized I could never think of it as an initialism again"
