I feel like game dev is an entirely different market to the typical startups. Different investors, different talent, different marketing and market validation.

I feel like game dev is an entirely different market to the typical startups. Different investors, different talent, different marketing and market validation. Those who invest have already made their money in games (or "gaming"). The SDLC of an average Steam game is very waterfall.

- doctorpangloss 7mo ago> almost everything in almost every industry is downstream of interest rates This is a very "if you exclude the best and most robust parts of the economy, everything looks terrible!" sort of comment haha services industries don't contract nearly as much as manufacturing during interest rate rises, see 1980-82 recessionary period everyone in finance correctly regards entertainment industry as more robust during high interest rates (and the macro environment high rates respond to), that doesn't mean buying Disney is a good trade (it's not). two separate issues.
