Jason Della Rocca gets one last rant in at IGDA

Jason Della Rocca closed his stint as the executive director of the International Game Developers Association with a bang during GDC's annual rant session last week.

Here is an excerpt from his speech, which he posted on his blog:

Serving the IGDA for the past 9 years has been extremely rewarding and challenging. I helped to get a lot done, but somehow feel that I failed the community.

Sorry for not having the leadership skills to beat the barriers of participation inequality. Less than 1% of the IGDA membership are truly active in driving the org forward... Sorry for not overcoming your general apathy and laziness.

Sorry for not doing a better job of roping in all the snipers from the sidelines. Turns out you are all pretty damn good at bitching and complaining and being critical. But then you don’t actually do anything about it and you don’t get involved...

Sorry for not getting you to be more serious about the profession of game development... This is a real art and science. We need to be way more deliberate and control the path the profession takes as it evolves into the future.

Most of all, sorry for not doing more to help you realize your power! ... You are all having a massive impact on society. You are transforming the world day-by-day without even realizing it.

Oh well, f**k you, it’s not my job anymore!

Sorry.
