As we enter a new quarter, time for an update on games industry layoffs. As you can see here we're well past 50k people known to be impacted since 2020 in over 800 incidents. with 3 months to go, 2026 could end as the worst year on record. 55% of known layoff waves in 2026 have unknown headcounts.

This January, early in my role as senior reporter covering the creator economy at Digiday, the industry was still in AI-revulsion mode after Sora 2. Things have shifted rapidly in just 10 months. Read my latest on the state of AI in the creator economy. digiday.com/media/the-cr...

The creator economy’s stance on AI is shifting — again

Creators are integrating AI tools into their workflows, but at what point does it overtake the creative process and result in sameness?

i'm glad that today at @mothership.blog we can share a review of the game Moonlight Peaks by @zoehhannah.com. this game is adorable and sweet and a little bit deeper than you might expect

Moonlight Peaks strikes just the right balance between cutesy and deep

It's unapologetically dramatic, it’s cute as hell (literally), and it has *magic*

One of the Cornell students accused of gang rape, Scott Kretzschmar, denies it and says through his attorney that they are going to “confront” the survivor through the court system. I can already tell you that means victim-blaming, DARVO, and smears. She is going to need a lot more of our support.

If you haven’t already turned off Meta’s terrible “use my stuff for whatever!” AI: - Go to your Insta profile - Click the hamburger stack (3 lines) for settings - Scroll to “sharing and reuse” - Toggle Meta AI settings off (I only have Reels, you may also have Posts)

Weather nerd in me is geeking out over this storm coming to NYC. Vibes outside are crazy, warm but super windy, like something big is coming AND IT IS. Charge your devices, avoid travel, call 311 if you see an especially shady branch or tree pre-storm and if one falls during the storm!

Specifically, Kotick has pressured reporters to alter the way in which they refer to the now-settled 2021 California lawsuit against Activision Blizzard, as well as an investigative report published by the Wall Street Journal, which his lawyers have repeatedly described as having been "debunked".

An article about Bobby Kotick, later updated to clarify that the California settlement "also cleared Kotick of any wrongdoing".

An Observer editor's note which describes the Wall Street Journal's reporting as having been "debunked".
