my partner and i can no longer buy a home together because they were fired by Rockstar, without warning,
*checks notes*
for talking about working conditions with their colleagues in a private union discord server.

EXCLUSIVE: So far it's been unclear what proof Rockstar Games has to justify its firing of 34 union members, who it claims were leaking "confidential information in a public forum".
PMG has now seen some of the messages which contributed to this decision being made.

Pleasantly surprised to learn that this video is actually about cool game UI (among a dozen other topics, it's a chaotic watch)
The most important point here is that the primary reason we're getting less varied and experimental interfaces in games is... the economy

what if the rate of profit has basically fallen to zero and the only venue left to invest masses of capital historically unprecedented in their scale is into bubbles? what if capitalism has now become a zero-sum game where the only way the few large capitals can grow is by absorbing smaller capitals
What if the A.I. bubble “is an inevitable part of developing and adopting a revolutionary tool that will fundamentally improve productivity and growth?” Mohamed El-Erian writes.
Opinion | A.I. Is a Bubble. Maybe That’s OK.
Investors’ excitement rightly reflects the potential transformation of the entire economy.

BLADECHIMERA is easily one of my favorite games this year and is another excellent release from Team Ladybug
If you love metroidvanias, but specifically IGAvanias, I believe this is a must-play

And one of this year's best came out in the first few days of the year - BladeChimera feels like an off-brand Shin Megami Tensei metroidvania. Which is funny as it's by the makers of the OFFICIAL Shin Megami Tensei metroidvania that never (officially) made it out of Japan.
BLADECHIMERA on Steam
Explore a dark and sinister Osaka as the Demon Hunter Shin. Battle demons, regain lost skills, and uncover the truth of your forgotten past in this exciting occult-inspired cyberpunk metroidvania.

Several years ago I played around with an idea of combining Soul Reaver with Mike Mignola / Darkest Dungeon kind of aesthetic
I felt like Raziel's character design combined really well with Mignola's angular style

I hope we all find out the names of people in Rockstar's management & HR who made the call.
And I do hope they'll be found liable for openly breaking the law & face same hardship in future employment as the folks they put "gross misconduct" on.

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.
That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.
