Opinion: Why words matter when we prioritize 'core teams' in game development
This opinion piece discusses the problematic use of the term "core team" in game development, particularly in the context of distributed development models like that used for Star Wars: Galactic Racer. The author argues that focusing solely on a small "core team" can obscure the contributions of hundreds of developers, potentially devaluing their work and careers. The article calls for more precise language to accurately describe the complex realities of modern game creation.
