A lot of what you say here is true but i believe you’re being too general about the industry. First off, the differences of AAA and indie parts of the industry are really important in this particular subject. I’d say that what you discuss here, that being the ego and individualism’s effect in Gamedev, is mostly a problem in the indie scene. I’ve seen firsthand how it eventually causes the disbandment of dev teams because a member’s vision doesn’t exactly match what the “lead” has in mind or everyone wants something to go their way. AAA on the other hand, has various reasons for failure but i wouldn’t say individualism is that often of a cause. In my opinion, a lot of it falls on “corporate design” as some call it. Which instead of giving power and agency to the creatives (i.e. dev team), asks of them a checklist of what the shareholders believe will bring more profit for them or what they think the gaming community wants. This is usually a reaction to the indie scene (a successful indie game popularizes something and AAA follows suit), for a example how a lot of AAA games started adding rougelike modes to their games after the indie scene made the genre really popular. This neverending trend-seeking of the AAA shareholders is the main reason why the industry feels stagnated at times. Because instead of letting their studios try new things and experiment, the shareholders always put profit first and creativity second.

Just sent it. No problem, i can wait. Thanks for your responsiveness! Also, in one of the comments in this post i shortly explained why the correct name of language is Persian.

فعلاً که گمون کنم همون دولت و انقلاب لنین رو بدم بهش. خودم رو اگه می‌گی فعلاً دارم «ایران میان دو انقلاب» رو می‌خونم. بعدشم نظر دارم جنگ چریکی چه‌گوارا رو بخونم.

Got it

Yes there are a lot of languages and people. If you’re wondering the correct term for the people is Iranian since not all of us are Persian. However, Persian is important to Iran because it’s the national language that connects people of different ethnicities and languages. Besides, it’s the most developed one and can be used as the language of science. Something most Iranian languages aren’t capable of yet.

Well, if i remember correctly English got the word from Greek which is equally ancient. A reason (not the main one) i coud give is the claim of Iran being a newly built nation which is “occupying” the land. For example, the name Persian gulf is the best defence against the gulf countries trying to still its resource since the very word “Persian gulf” has more history than all of the countries mentioned.

Seeing as the word “Farsi” unlike Persian didn’t exist in the English language until a few decades ago, no it doesn’t capture the few thousand year history. And you’re completely correct about the diaspora since LA is basically the headquarters for pahlavi supporters and the birthplace of his brand of “nationalism”.

I’v considered it but applying to it requires a level of study even more than i spend on my university😅😅

Sure! If you want a general answer you can look up endonyms and exonyms on wikipedia but if you want specifics for Persian i’ll write something short here. The correct form of the word is Persian because it is the one which English-speakers are and were more familiar with due to its long history. It basicly goes a couple thousand years back and correctly signifies the history of the language within the English-speaking mind As language of the people who lived in Iran (which was called Persia until the last century). Etc. However, with the mass immigration of Iranians to other countries and their unawareness of how endonyms and exonyms work, they started claiming their language is called Farsi, the word which is used to refer to the language in Persian, instead of Persian, which was word English-speakers used. Which incorrectly cuts the Persian language from its history and makes it appear as a newly built language since there are no mentions of it before the current century. This was intensified by the Iranian diaspora in Los Angeles or US in general, which doubled down on their stupidity to build a new identity since thay no longer had connection with their own. Keep in mind that this is in no way a complete explanation. There’s a lot more to this. Enough to write a book. But this is the overall gist of things. Hope it helps!

Unfortunately i didn’t find a translation for Blackshirts and reds. But i’ll note the others. Thanks for the recommendations!

Yeah i was considering those as options since they have good translations as well. If they’re good for starting on their own then it would be pretty convenient.

If the writer is a Trotskyist then i don’t think that eould be a good idea. My friend easily misunderstands stuff so that’s a bit risky. Might fall into the wrong rabbit hole.

Wow great list! This will actually be more helpful to me. I might be able to find Persian translations for some of them but since some are rather short i might translate them myself. Either way, thanks a lot! This is really useful.

First off, LMMs aren’t really good for translations. especially for text in this area and more especially for Persian as most tools don’t consider it most of times. Secondly, the language is called Persian, not Farsi. Please don’t call it that. But thanks for responding nonetheless!

As a fellow purple enjoyer i feel you. Kinda. In my country one of the reformists called it his colour and it’s most of the time associated with him now. Fortunately the monarchists aren’t intelligent enough to find out about the colour’s connection to themselves. Let’s hope we can reclaim it.

Thanks a lot! Guess i’ll be busy for a while

Thanks! I’ll check it out.
