Episode 16: The AI Divide in Gaming, The "Micro-Indie" Playbook, and the Best Soup in Seoul

In this episode, we dive into the massive paradigm shift happening right now: "The Game Industry and AI." We discuss the heavy backlash against NVIDIA's DLSS 5 and Jensen Huang’s response, as well as the deep, painful divide between AI-pushing investors and anxious game developers that was front and center at GDC. Is resisting generative AI a losing battle?We also explore the fascinating world of "Micro-Indies"—studios making sub-$200K games using data-driven, VC-style publishing strategies to conquer the Steam algorithm. Using a baseball analogy, Ochify explains why traditional giants like Capcom are swinging for the fences with a roster of cleanup hitters, while agile, hyper-efficient micro-indies are winning by stringing together base hits.And of course, stick around for the Gourmet Corner! The self-proclaimed "B-Tier Gourmet King of East Asia" shares his absolute favorite breakfast spot in Seoul, South Korea—a legendary Gomtang (beef bone soup) restaurant that closes as soon as the meat runs out!Have thoughts on the AI divide?
