I just published a new article exposing the mess behind The Indie Game Awards revoking Expedition 33 and ModRetro’s Chantey. This isn’t about 'ethics.' It’s about power, ideology, and control. Link below!

I've been watching The Indie Game Awards 2025 video for a Substack article I'm writing on the Expedition 33 - ModRetro debacle. I’ve seen wokefests before, but this one’s next level. They literally showcased a racist 'Game Devs of Color' list. Every name, pronouns included.

No matter what feminists and trans activists tell you, always remember these two essential truths: 1. Beauty is objective. 2. Men can’t be women.

This Adam Moore guy is a regional coordinator of globalgamejam and IGDA member. His TL barely features a single post about gaming. An activist. This is the kind of people who hijacked gaming. They're the ones responsible for pushing progressive trash in your games.
@sen3d @YorchTorchGames No, we don't all use AI. Some of us like to develop games ourselves instead of asking an AI to do our work for us.

The luddites who run The Indie Game Awards revoked Expedition 33’s GOTY for 'using AI.' Well, to bestow the honor upon this extraordinary game, I hereby declare Expedition 33 the winner of Yorch Torch's first ever GOTY. Congratulations, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33!

@YorchTorchGames No, it does not. Everybody uses AI. Not using it only puts you in disadvantage. Knowledge is power, technology is the physical manifestation of knowledge and therefore of power.

Does it really matter that Expedition: 33 used AI?

Call me a shameless grifter, but an industry that proudly purges its own talent through performative movements like MeToo deserves to implode. Avatar 3 is $90 million behind its sequel. And that's a reason to celebrate.

Many of you are asking me, and here's my answer: Memes are for X. The real depth: game design, dev and marketing is on my Substack. That's where I put the politics aside and focus on the craft. The newest article on Castlevania is already pulling rave reviews. Link below!
