On the topic of game preservation, what do you think is the best solution or pathway that consumers should try to push for that would might be a reasonable compromise between companies, consumers, and legislators?

Whenever one group tries to compel or coerce another group to do something that doesn’t benefit them, you get minimal compliance at best and malicious compliance at worst. This doesn’t really serve the interests of the coercing group — they don’t reall…

Why do many games that offer controller support not offer full button customization for the controller like they do for keyboard and mouse?

It’s a good question. This is one of those rare situations where it actually is pretty easy to make these changes. Setting this up actually shouldn’t be that difficult — we already must handle device input mapping to in-game actions no matter what we d…

Staying on the topic of computer specs, how do the recommended/minimum hardware requirements on Steam get determined? I can’t image you just have an array of different computers to test them all on, but after seeing a single machine with 256GB memory anything seems possible

Compatibility is a pretty big thing with AAA game dev, since we want our games to run on as many devices as we can. Usually we aim min spec hardware to be whatever is most common in the Asian PC bangs/cafes so that users there can play. We aim at mid-s…

On the topic of computer specs, how close to the limit does your over powered dev computers come to running unoptimized versions of the game? How common is it for your dev computer to run out memory?

I’m usually able to run most test levels at a solid 100+ fps with default graphics settings. Big maps and higher settings can bring it down to 60. Things I’m working on rarely push the game to the limit while I’m working because I’m not working on the …

As a follow up for the IP rights question, I know there are a lot of games/movies/shows who’s release or remake is in jeopardy due to either not being able to figure out who owns the rights or there being multiple parties that own part of the rights who do not agree. How do the rights owners go from “known” to “unknown” and how much piecemeal can rights be split up? (With the understanding you are not a legal professional. Still curious about the layman in the industry’s understanding).

It can get pretty weird with how things get split up. Here’s my current go-to example. Right now, Hasbro is currently promoting and accepting preorders for a Marvel Legends action figure for a character named Gargantos. If you’re familiar with the Capc…

What happens to game IPs from companies that no longer exist? For example, a game series from a studio that closed in the 2000s. Can another studio take over that IP and relaunch the game, or is the game forever in the limbo?

There’s usually somebody who owns that IP. When a company goes bankrupt and shuts down, the company goes into the bankruptcy liquidation. The court appoints a trustee that’s put in charge of selling off all of the company’s assets to pay off as much of…

I can’t show the outside of the case since it’s branded and would reveal my employer, but here’s the the inside. It’s got a lot of fans but runs fairly quietly and there aren’t many other elements to it aside from the GPU taking up the majority of the …

How come in some games generic npcs have access to outfits, armor, hair, ect. that player characters don’t?

It takes more effort to make something usable by players, mostly because they get a lot more scrutiny because players can (and will) look at those assets up close for a very long time. Visual quality needs to be there for close inspection in situations…

So I know its a youtuber thing and pretty ill-informed but do you have any opinions on Stop Killing Games or on the end of mmos and live service games.

Let me tell you a completely unrelated story to the question you asked me.My six-year-old niece desperately wants a talking pet unicorn with a rainbow mane named Elsa to be her best friend. I don’t think she’s ever going to get a pet unicorn that meets…
