Colin please get some sunlight for Christ sake.
The theories for why the games industry is so inefficient were interesting but I'm sorry to say a lot of this was pseudo intellectual populist brainrot, especially in the last half hour. I hope Colin improves his media diet. He said in the past he likes to listen to the likes of Jimmy Dore and Dave Rubin which doesnt bode well. I guess its kinda understandable as people did try to cancel him and now he's locked in this particular worldview. Hopefully LSM can get guests that actually challenge the narratives that seem embraced in this community. It has become a bit of an echo chamber.

Nice interview. A lot of real talk about the moneys
Kevin Cooper
This was an engaging chat. I hope to see him back sometime in the future; preferably with a bit more focus on game design than business economics, though.

Great interview. I can’t say I agree with much that Jonathan had to say specifically around remote work but it’s good to hear that side of the fence.

Loved it! Jonathan Blow to me is the Indie Kojima. A true creative from a super nerdy programming background. I also really appreciated how Jonathan had to stop to think about responses every now and then and didn’t just blurt out some non answer. Lots of honesty and thought out answers in this conversation. Keep up the great interviews Colin 🔥 One last thing to add. I really liked the part about remote work. I feel exactly the same way Jonathan does apparently! Remote work is way worse than we think!
Jonathan Blow tends to pontificate and complain about the things he's passionate about and I personally find it really refreshing and interesting to listen to. But I can see how it can put people off.

Respect for work? Meaning through work? Spoken like a true business owner. I seem to be the only person who thinks this conversation came off as pretentious and holier than thou. Respect for different points of view and more power to you but this was really full of misinterpreted information points. Love the show love the product not every conversation is for everybody

Fantastic! I know it's unlikely to have him on the show again, but I would love to hear from him again.
