Gamasutra is becoming Game Developer gamasutra.com/view/news/3872…
@gamasutra Nice work. I love the rebrand. And to people who are saying "you'll never be able to google it", I would argue that people who google "game developer" who want to learn more would find a great news source with developer focused content.
@gamasutra ...and nobody will ever find you in a Google search ever again?
@gamasutra Oh wow nice, very befitting - congrats on the rebrand!
@gamasutra @itsJenSim But that doesn't sound like 'sexy time' at all 😭
@gamasutra strongly feel like they should have renamed themselves to "Game Developer Central" for the acronym GDC, since their parent company also runs *the* GDC
@gamasutra Lovely! Though I did love the old name quite a bit; mostly for silly reasons.
@gamasutra Congratulations Game Developer! Still the best daily source for game development information after 24 years. The new name looks good on you.
@gamasutra I initially thought they were going to make games. Good they're changing names.
@gamasutra Hey, this is great!! Nice work!
@gamasutra i don't get why everyone is so excited about this this is literally the most generic name ever
@gamasutra Thought for a minute there it meant Gamasutra was becoming an actual Game Developer - making apps and games. But then I read it over again
@gamasutra I get the name change, but you really could have gone for something that has a bit more oomph to it. And yeah, I know it's because of the magazine, but that doesn't change my point.
@gamasutra Good to abandon the icky old name. Bad to pick a bland, terrible SEO name. Also, when I first read the headline, I thought that there was an implied "A", meaning that Gamasutra would become a game developer, which I thought was weird.
@gamasutra "we wanted to get away from the lol sex angle so we made our new logo look like a finger going inside of a hole, denoting that of sexual intercourse"
@gamasutra Why have a unique, memorable, and searchable name when you can have... something completely generic.
@gamasutra I was confused, i thought you were opening your own game studio. Thats a really odd name.
@gamasutra Twitter becomes Speaker, Facebook becomes Person, Google becomes Searching For… then how will we, ummm, google anything?
@gamasutra So they bought the domain and went "holy shit we got the domain gamedeveloper.com !!! okay we gotta change our name now! Is that how it went down? Lol
@gamasutra Hello, my name is The Guy...
@gamasutra Imagine fooling yourself into believing that "Game Developer" is a good new name 😂, went from being recognizable to completely generic.
@gamasutra That name is going to make it impossible to web search for anything. Might be the most generic possible term to use.
@gamasutra Congrats Game Developer team! @krisgraft, you can go to sleep now 🤣
@gamasutra On the fence here. On the one hand, glad for the rebrand. On the other, "Game Developer" is in fact very general and I hope there's a good acronym or something that people can use so we know what we're all referring to 😅
@gamasutra As long as old links don't break, it's fine.
