Epic Games sent a DMCA notice to my online stores for my geology-themed design involving a crossed pickaxe and rock hammer that said "PICKS...or it didn't happen" because they asserted that Epic owned all rights to artwork/mention of pickaxes, right before an SVP annual conference. Eric cost me $$$

If you work a studio that’s been nominated for a Game Award this year (or even years’ past), I would love to speak to you about your experience getting tickets! How many did your studio get? How many did you buy?

Britain never did grow out of oppressing the Irish because the country generally feels like it *should* own us regardless of all that pesky war of independence stuff
This is madness.
All books by Normal People and Conversations with Friends author Sally Rooney set to be withdrawn from sale.
The 34-year-old Irish author says: “The disappearance of my work from bookshops would mark a truly extreme incursion by the state into the realm of artistic expression.”

Morale at paypros call centers is in the toilet right now. It’s not just normal Black Friday stress, they’re being pounded. Corporate is pressuring bosses to end the paypros call campaigns. Source familiar w/ internals at MC stressed that folks should stand their ground but be kind to agents (1)

Anybody who can feel proud of what they’ve “made” using a plagiarism laundering device is someone who hasn’t got a shred of respect for their own ability.

And yes, I am going to be denigrating and insulting in my descriptions of any developers relying on AI to have their creativity for them.
It’s inherent plagiarism, environmentally destructive, and it’s being used to REPLACE GAME DEVS.
To use it is to be a traitor to your own profession. Fuck you.

For a studio that was once part of Grasshopper, seeing the Let it Die team crawling around in the AI filth hole is particularly fucking sad. Never thought I would see people with that kind of creative pedigree become embarrassing fucking hacks.

I think the audience for big-budget AAA military shooters probably aren't and wouldn't be interested in indie FPS anyway, but it's a damn good jumping off point to talk about those cool indie FPS titles anyway. Dominic's rattled off a load of neat looking games, so go have a look and check em out!
I really hate how Call Of Duty just sucks the oxygen out of the room. So, the campaign in the annual corporate franchise sucks this year? There's been more words written about that than probably EVERY OTHER FPS RELEASED THIS YEAR COMBINED.
And there have been so goddamn many, and so many great ones

You can’t be pulling this shit with a title like Let It Die, that’s just asking for nominative determinism man.

I cannot overstate how special the Let It Die soundtrack was. It is also nigh impossible to get in any legal capacity outside of Youtube, so keep the tapes circulating.
The only issue I have with it beyond that is that you end up with 100 tracks all with the same title but by different bands.

The original Let It Die was famous for its absolutely amazing soundtrack. Akira Yamaoka went and got in touch with a HUNDRED of his favourite indie bands and commissioned each to do a track named 'let it die'. The result was borderline mystical.
They're AI-generating the music here.
