The discussion explores the technical and philosophical underpinnings of game creation, ranging from the &quot;Wild West&quot; of QA processes to the evolving landscape of global publishing. The duo discusses why mimicking video games might actually be making your tabletop combat feel slow and uninteresting, the &quot;heartbreaking&quot; reality of survivor bias in digital publishing, and why educational games must prioritize fun to survive the scrutiny of &quot;hyper-literate&quot; young players who are used to the polish of modern hits.
