Abubakar Salim, known for his role as Bayek in Assassin’s Creed: Origins and Alina from Hull in the second season of “House of the Dragon”, criticized the service game publishers in a recent interview. The actor is unhappy that many companies treat their work solely as a business.
The one thing I’ve learned about the industry globally is that gaming is still seen primarily as a business and not an art form.
There’s a reason why many large companies choose a service model. They’re trying to release the next one Fortnite because it will make them more money.
But games shouldn’t be about money. They should be about self-expression, fun, storytelling, connection and interactivity, because that’s where film and television excel.
Salim also mentioned that many people in the film industry still don’t know much about games.
The first thing they think of when it comes to games is FIFA. One of the things that really surprised me on the set of House of the Dragon is that you can say, “I play games” or “I design games,” and they don’t even know what that means. And then you open up a whole new world for them.
This spring, Abubakar Salim and his studio Surgent released a Metroidvania Stories from Kenzera: ZAU. Players and critics greeted her warmly.
