Having a comedy font for a dead-serious funeral company technically communicates the required information, yet it's going to limit your audience to those that can tolerate the conflicting tones and the people who will choose to relate to what you're trying to say.
It's really so difficult to press CTRL-A and select a different font? Would it cost him so much to relate a little closer to the tried and true methods?
SPJ and Tim Sweeney don't care about people who are only willing to listen when the other one does it "the right way". They put something out and if you don't like it, you can leave it unread.
I like good fonts, I have bought several "serious fonts" for private use that cost serious money. I would never use Comic Sans in larger texts. I wouldn't probably use it myself anywhere.
But this here is whimsical, and cool, and fun.
SPJ and TS don't have to relate to me, or anyone if they so wish. Just making the point SPJ's argument is quite poor, whatever "brow-level" it exists at.
Did HN's reverence for John Carmack drop because he dabbled in rockets, instead of doing "proper programming"? Stars can afford to be eccentric.
I wouldn't recommend slides like these to a normal game developer giving a speech. But it's preposterous to claim that it might hurt Tim Sweeney in any way.
