SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

This is a breathtaking abuse of the law and power by the President of the United States.

America is on the brink of martial law.

Do not be silent.

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.

Arc Raiders releases this month so it's probably time I spilled the beans!

Our team @secrettape.bsky.social has been working on a 3 part series on the game's challenging development for over a year.

Embark has been incredibly transparent and let us tell the story as we saw it. I'm very proud of it

But it’s okay because the short-sighted shareholders will see value in this since they never really cared about the products being produced in the first place

The private equity reaper has come for EA, in a year they'll have scrapped it for parts until the entire company is some absentee executives and six engineers asking ChatGPT how to sell more FUT packs

Fun fact: One of EA's new owners, Affinity Partners (investment group founded by Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner) has a similar logo to fictional Templar-run evil Assassin's Creed gaming company Abstergo Entertainment

It’s official: EA is going private.

The leveraged buyout will be financed by a staggering $20 billion of debt, which likely means some *aggressive* cost cutting is ahead for EA in the coming months and years.

Like Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft are some of my least responsive PR contacts. Why? We have a good team, excited to cover their games and often stream and do video coverage too. I just don’t get it 😔

Hardwired Games | Andrew Hamilton @hardwiredgames.bsky.social · 14d

I COMPLETELY FORGOT TO SEND A REVIEW REQUEST IN 😭 of course the game is getting this kind of response the original remains one of my favorites to this day

What kills me is it feels like an impossible task to FIND the info I need to even reach out to PR teams at the bigger firms. Meanwhile every one else is fairly responsive and helpful. I don’t understand the gatekeeping on the top side of this
