1) Let's be clear about what's happening in the Games Industry right now. When the first layoffs came, it was studios expecting that the bad economy would cut games sales. People who started gaming during the Pandemic went back to their non-gaming lives, people has less money to spend.

As soon as Bell Bearing Hunter is seen, the teams I run with will run the other way. We know better than to deal with him.
Calling shenanigans on this chart. I'm guessing it's pulling total deaths and not deaths per encounter.

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back
Insulting to the players, insulting to the IP, insulting to the medium, the developers. And the craft itself. Fuck you executives who pushed this garbage.

The fact that this person remains Health Secretary is objectively one of the most significant British political scandals of the post-Covid era. But because he's doing something the media barons like, everyone has decided it's fine.
Health Secretary Wes Streeting says that the British Medical Association, which represents Britain's doctors, is a threat to the NHS. Streeting took a record £225k from private healthcare-related donors in just two years.
British Medical Association ‘threat to future of NHS’, says Streeting ahead of doctors’ strike

I feel like devs and CEOs need to accept that a consequence of using gen AI is that a lot of people won’t like it. That’s just the case as it is and the risks you take

It's all "AI is the future" and "you can't get the genie back in the bottle" until the public don't like it and then it's "nooo this was handmade by real humans, it has a heart" and you try to fabricate a process that was never there.
My dudes, if AI was so great you wouldn't need to lie about it.

One of the hardest thing to do in video game marketing is working out a release date that can be stuck to.
But saying that, if anyone could drop a date with a 3 month lead to release, it would be Rockstar and GTA.

PowerWash Simulator 2 smartly sticks to what made the original formula such a blast while throwing in some upgrades to deal with a few of its pesky problems.

• Set after ‘The Rise of Skywalker’
• Lucasfilm loved it, but Disney said no — “They didn’t see how Ben Solo was alive”
