[ *ADDITIONAL NOTES* ]
This video was originally posted in December of 2020, which is why I say "James Sterling" and not "James Stephanie Sterling". I'd say this video aged well. While there are new practices in the game industry, such as "live service" games that I could cover, I might save that for another video if people ever want to see me make a follow-up to this one.
