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.

I can't believe there are still people working in the game's media that seem to believe in "objectively reviewing" a game.
Good gravy, this is why people don't take this space seriously.

cannot imagine a more depressing game dev job than making ai slop for the US military propaganda game
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.

arts festival president saying "half our grants go back to city in police costs" is beyond infuriating. the police run a protection racket. they are a literal mob, dude
246: folk fest president. Advocating for increased funding for arts. Arts is a necessity. Festivals under threat. Many have folded. We bring in millions of dollars to economy. We bring joy in world of despair. Half of our grants just go back to city in police costs.

Tim Sweeney getting this upset over a review grilling a game for using AI tools is proof that more and more reviews should be taking the same approach whenever AI pops up.
Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney has defended AI following Eurogamer's 2/5 Arc Raiders review, which criticised the game's use use of AI voice generation. "AI dialog generation + human personality and tuning could totally transform gaming," Sweeney said.

POSSESSOR(S) is launching today.
I have been the producer on this project for three years, & the last few weeks have been difficult. Most of the team isn't around anymore to celebrate the launch, so I wrote many words about these incredible people to celebrate them.

Every time Keighley turns up, I ask myself why he is The Guy. Who allowed this? Why do we continue to let him be The Guy?
"We found out later that Keighley had a party in another room with all the influencers and industry people. You know where Future Class met that day? At a Starbucks.”

paying a thousand US dollars to watch ads is so crazy
Game Awards: We're inviting less press and opening up seats to the public so that we (probably) can have a more engaged, excited audience for the camera and make more money
