Here are a few short interviews I did at @adventurex.bsky.social for my adventure game podcast. Mostly in German, some in English.
(And if you're wondering: the podcast title translates as "Use Ear With Loudspeaker".)

This is bullshit.
"absolutely no genAI in games" is the middle ground.
"how many years in jail should Sam Altman get for knowingly stealing all data ever" is the somewhat more extreme stance I personally adopt.

"Surely there's a middle ground here?" The CEO of Helldivers 2 studio Arrowhead says people "jump to extreme takes" when debating generative AI, and that there needs to be more nuance in the discussion.

Our takes on Leisure Suit Larry are now 7 and 5 years old, and it still makes me happy that people are positively surprised by them. :)

In the 2010s, this country's elites were thrown onto social platforms with everyone else and could finally read what we all think about them and it caused them so much psychic damage that they decided to destroy both the internet and democracy to make sure nothing like it ever happened again.
If this is what it took for you to be pushed into fascism you were probably already there

One issue generally overlooked in the whole screenwriter vs gamewriter, discussion is time.
Beyond anything to do with training, ability, style etc is the amount of time screenwriters get to invest in a script.

But Mark, you said we'd be living in the metaverse soon, so we get virtual smart glasses there, right? As NFTs, right???
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has told analysts that people without smart glasses may one day be at a "significant cognitive disadvantage" compared to those who do use the tech: https://cnn.it/47L2Y5a

Look, I'm over the moon for Team Cherry's success but "a few contractors" is a hell of a way to dismiss the 80+ artists, programmers, audio technicians, QA, and other developers who helped bring this project to life.
If you count VO and the orchestra, the credits are over 100 names.
Like... c'mon.

King replacing staff laid off with AI they built and trained is absolutely abhorrent and disgusting. Garbage behaviour from one of the biggest mobile developers in the world.

Laid off King staff set to be replaced by the AI tools they helped build, say sources
Insiders paint a grim picture at King with half the Farm Heroes Saga team set to depart and morale “in the gutter”.
