Larian's publishing director says the intensity of Divinity's gruesome reveal trailer wasn't a mere attempt to shock, they were “treating the audience with a level of intellectual respect.” https://bit.ly/4p1iRJF

I'm sorry that your insipid baby brained touchbutt McDonald's wrestling from the sex trafficking cult company disappointed you so much.
Welcome to adulthood. Why did it take you so long to end your parasocial relationship with the sex trafficking cult?

losing my mind watching people genuinely complain that there wasn’t enough ‘variety’ in their awards show because Expedition 33 - a game that is exceptional in almost every way - won several awards for being exceptional in almost every way

Additional point: Clair Obscur's third act is a thematic loop about how delaying the inevitable isn't healthy. You may feel temporarily good, you might even feel like a God among ants, but all you're doing is becoming a rotting husk and running away from inevitability.
Seeing other narrative design people say that Clair Obscur had a bad 3rd act or bad ending(s)…I just can’t follow you there man. That shit ruled. Sorry. You break the combat wide fucking open and then get your choice of doing genocide or walking toward Omelas and saying “torturing that child rocks”

Companies ignore when their employees are harassed because standing up for them could affect their bottom line, because a sect of gamers cherish harassing those they deem other. Ignoring that behavior and then caving to their obscene demands keeps the industry firmly in their claws.
For @aftermath.site, I spoke to @imodrew.bsky.social, the Sucker Punch dev fired after making a Charlie Kirk joke.
She paints a picture of an industry that all too often ignores bad actors until those bad actors threaten them financially.

gamergate was over 10 years ago and companies are still falling for the same fucking tactics and not going the mile to protect the people that make the games
the dudes @ing your PR account to complain about a woman aren't going to buy your game. it was never and will never be about the game.

Every time I think "hey, I should give this game a chance", they say some dumbass shit that reminds me why I'm ignoring it in the first place. The world is "not ready for AI in video games." Keep your generative AI nonsense to yourself.
