Della Rocca Rants

Reality Panic, the personal blog of Jason Della Rocca, has a recreation of a rant he presented at GDC 2009 with some shots at the games industry as he ends his run as executive director of the International Game Developers Association (thanks GamePolitics). This takes the form of an apology, starting with a mea culpa over not finding a way to overcome participation inequality in the organization, and concluding with regrets over not helping game developers understand their positions better:

Sorry for not getting you to be more serious about the profession of game development. You are no longer a bunch of hacks. This is a real art and science. We need to be way more deliberate and control the path the profession takes as it evolves into the future.

Most of all, sorry for not doing more to help you realize your power! Both, collectively as a profession to tackle industry issues, and as creators of culture. You are all having a massive impact on society. You are transforming the world day-by-day without even realizing it.

Oh well, f* you, it’s not my job anymore!
