This is a really awesome point, and one that I hadn't considered before.

This is how I normally find new books to read (by following authors) for some reason it just hadn't occurred to me to follow individuals in the gaming space. (Except for the Mode 7 Games, which put out Frozen Synapse, the awesome turn-based RTS [0] )

I'm curious how you follow people when so many games are made by teams of people - how do you find them, how do you decide which ones to follow, etc. I'd love to hear more

Western gamedevs are almost universally on twitter. Pick the ones whose contributions to the games you enjoy you think mattered most (narrative designer of a story you liked, or combat designer of a gameplay loop you liked, or lead programmer of a technically robust complex game, 3D artist of a game with beautiful environments, etc). Follow them and their recommendations! Ditch them when they turn out to be predatory/abusive assholes.
