I have many thoughts about this, one is I can't help but think this is all just shining a light on how games are still being held to wildly different standards than other media like film. I've played very few games like HORSES but watched so many films like it (as a connoisseur of arthouse horror).
Humble's now banned it too, post-launch:

If the main channels of music distribution infrastructure on the internet are going to continue to enshittify themselves to death, the only logical response is to enact a digital dubplate mentality in your community both IRL and URL.

Eleven years ago, I wrote to Tom Stoppard to ask about this coup de théâtre from 1949. It took me down an unexpected rabbit hole - in memory of Stoppard, here's what I found.

+1 @starkholborn.bsky.social and I talked about this so much when we were working on it (for years 😅 ). Burying narrative/meaning/theme into every corner. Making strong connections between disciplines, mise en scene etc. etc. A privilege to be on a project where that was rewarded, encouraged.
Love this from @starkholborn.bsky.social ’s talk about Shadow of Doubt - about making sure you‘re putting story absolutely *everywhere*

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."
There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

I am increasingly of the opinion that people who change menus and look and feel of computer software just so that you know it's a new version should be personally forced to play tech support to my mother for five months.

Just remembered that at the NFL in London the other week they played about 4 seconds of Voodoo Ray into the stadium before it got interrupted by something else.
Feel like it was the one tune that the whoever was responsible for the music slipped in of their own accord. Fair play.
