November 19 from the release I'm sure most of the readers of this channel do not perceive the release of GTA VI as something significant and worthy of attention. They do not play themselves, they are not fans, there are no people in their social circle who have taken time off from the game - somewhere there is something in the hype and it does not concern us: a phenomenon outside the established optics.
A kind of virtual trash with shootings and kidnappings, which collected $1.18 billion in pre-orders.
After all, neither the economics of an intellectual product with a long life cycle, nor the concentration of capabilities and R&D in game development, nor the creation of cultural phenomena, are related to educational programs, not to sovereignty, not to technological leadership, not to technology transfer, not to didactics, and not to anything else.
The starship mask with the hype surrounding the landing on the tower is also not visible from the office window.
It is something somewhere with others, in another world and another universe, isolated from our garden.
Don't let the Rector get caught up, get carried away, get distracted, introduce unnecessary noise and confuse themselves, and then wonder why conversations about technology leadership are like conversations about planting a vegetable garden of people who have never been outside its fence.
Play, son, play. It will pass with age, but for now we have our own tasks, much more mundane and serious, yes.
