Possibly my most controversial product & UX take is that I don't trust UX/product people who don't play video games in depth.
I think it makes you a worse designer, and you should take a deep interest in game design.
Video games are the purest distillation of UX practice.

As part of the Oct 26 Steam Fest I played some of the demos and recorded talking about what I thought in terms of UX.

During the Oct 26 Steam Next Fest I played some demos and recorded talking over them from a UX Researchers perspective.

This isn't a full UX analysis, rather it is my UX thoughts as I go through the game.

The barrage of unsolicited popup messages is a UX scourge across the board and just primes you to instinctively swat it away like spam. Just completely counter-intuitive interface design and whenever I've asked UX designers about this trend it seems to come from a deeply cynical and spiteful mindset

This is directly parallel to how UX design thoughtthinkers are on LinkedIn crowing how Claude Design lets us "do strategy—not pixel pushing", meanwhile design's access to the rooms where strategy is being done has NEVER been more constrained.

I keep seeing people mentioning how ai-generated code lets you spend more time thinking about what the app should do, but I think there’s a need to remember that there are large groups of engineers whose role hasn’t been redefined to include that level of control and trust.

Brad Myers' Pick, Click, Flick is a historical reference of UX interaction, cataloging the evolution of UX over the decades. As a historical record of what has been built, the book is reasonably thorough.

I think that a lot of ux people who work in B2B or b2c in other markets within ux & product think of video games as a segment, in reality, it's kind of the other way around.
UX is a part of gamification not necessarily the other way around.
The disconnection that a lot of product people have

Ad blocking is UX and accessibility
There are many things I could say about how the @bostonglobe.com should improve its website. But here's my top complaint: an ad-serving platform that causes stories to jerk up and down and even reload while you're trying to read them. You want to keep your new digital subscribers? Fix it.
