can I just briefly say, VGC doesn't get as much attention as other personality-heavy publications, but I'm that bitch who traces news to the sources and this team has been *hustling* to publish these scoops lately.
Square Enix announced layoffs across “nearly all areas” of its Western business in an all-hands meeting earlier today, VGC understands.

"everyone is mad at me and that's good" is one of the most poisonous inventions of the social media era

Apparently the mostly British habit of not cleaning your bread knife after use is ‘gross’ and unhygienic. If that’s true, then call me disgusting, writes Emma Beddington

The decline of third spaces and hangouts, such as malls, video rental places, arcades & skate parks has been a direct result of the rise of convenience and has also been objectively bad for society as a whole. Its not that everyone HAS to socialize, but having no option to without bars is a failing.
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

I shuffled a few things around and made a few changes to how the site looks (including fewer ads on the Home page).
If you don't notice any difference, you probably don't visit enough so you should probably change that.

Experience doesn't exempt you from the fundamental realities of creative work being unpredictable.
Experience tends to make you better at dealing with "failure", maybe better at recognizing it - but it doesn't mean you can avoid it. "Failure" is an important part of the work in any creative work.

Counterpoint: we were less experienced when we made Celeste and especially TowerFall and those went great

The early fervor for VF5:R.E.V.O. at CB2025 has been cool to see. It’s holding a reg pace above some very established games in our show’s history thus far.
