## Key points

- A roundup of writing on videogames and game culture.
- Outsourcing can spread risk but concentrate creative power.
- Other pieces explore game design, a cartridge museum and Timothy Dexter.

## Summary

The weekly roundup highlights writing about videogames, including an interview with multimedia artist Jeremy Couillard and a discussion of how outsourcing is changing game development. It argues that outsourcing can spread financial risk and retain the strengths of triple-A production, but may also concentrate creative control and funding among a privileged few.

Other pieces consider how games can fall short of their own ambitions, using Manhunt’s inconsistent simulation as an example, and meet the creator of a Game Boy Museum housed in a Game Boy cartridge. The roundup also shares an older account of eccentric American investor Timothy Dexter and mentions the writer’s music picks for the week.
