Developer thinks E3 announcements are “mass murder” fantasies

13 June 2016

Prominent indie developer Jonathan Blow has spoken out strongly against the games released at this year’s E3 conference.

Taking to Twitter, Blow called out game developers for “working very hard to build fantasies about how cool it is to be a mass murderer.”

Other developers (including Markus “Notch” Persson) retaliated by saying that “studios big enough to be at E3 are the ones that make games people want.”
