More corpo speak to cover greed. I guess the WWE streaming deal wasn't as big as they hoped. Hey quick question: how much was the CEO's salaries? 🤔

October 14 1998, Flying Dragon debuted on the N64 in the Americas! This super stylish fighter (and one of my personal favorites) from the Hiryu no Ken series also has a single player adventure mode where you collect items to level your fighter! And it features some characters from Super Chinese!

I didn't believe this was real until I clicked that link. This is real. Someone in Epic read this (I think) and said "Yeah looks good." Absolutely insane.

Real developers giving their opinion on why this sucks. I had to stop what I was doing, and actually screen cap these last 2 statements because they are so important. I quote: "If you can't be arsed to make it, why should I be arsed to play it, let alone pay you for it."
"For an engine that has easily allowed us to do so much of our game DIY with a completely in-house render pipeline and tons of in-house editor tools, it's insanely frustrating to see Unity pushing things so hard in the exact opposite direction," he wrote.

Schaeffer notes he has been a devout Unity user since 2008, when he saved up money during his high school years to nab a Unity Pro educational license for $750 back when it was needed form post-screening and real-time shadows. To say he is disappointed in the company would be an understatement of some magnitude.

"The engine is unmatched for me and I hate seeing it die at the hands of such a foolish company," he continued. "[...] I'd like to go on record and say fuck GenAI. Fuck the companies that have made billions developing automated plagiarism machines and fuck anyone defending it. They don't make tools, they use the Earth's resources to shove human culture into a perpetually self-feeding meat grinder."
Second quote from Super Spline Studios co-founder Aron Durkin: ""If you can't be arsed to make it, why should I be arsed to play it, let alone pay you for it."

On October 13, 2023, Microsoft completed its acquisition of Activision Blizzard King and changed the course of Xbox Game Studios forever. This is a sobering read, but I felt it was important to chronicle just how much has been lost in just 36 months.

Maybe it's because I've gotten away from blockbuster action games like this as of late, but I'm all in. I didn't understand when I read that E-Day leaned into survival horror, but now I get it. I'm always on edge, I don't know what will happen next. Tight gunplay, awesome sound design. Play this!

In more positive gaming news, Gears of War: E-Day releases today. I was given a friends and family download code and have been playing it for about a week now. Truly one of the most beautiful games I've ever played. I'm maybe around half way through it now and UE5 absolutely shines on Series X.

We will be worse off with this. Competition is out the fucking window. I hope my friends and former co-workers will survive this shit, because there will be layoffs. There's no question about that. This timeline keeps getting worse. Fuck anybody who supported this.

Actually, given what Microslop and Sony have been testing, between potential in-game ads, pay to tap on controllers, the loss of physical discs, and Nintendo’s game key cards, I’ve never been as bored, dreadful and apathetic about gaming and its future ever in my life.

The future of the Xbox brand is bleak. I’ve been a gamer my entire life. I’ve followed the brand and worked on Xbox-published titles. This is the least enthusiastic that I’ve ever felt about the brand. It’s in the hands of clueless AI-loving greedy suits who need to appease the shareholders.

I’ve been in game development for 18 years, working alongside people who make decisions like what were made today at Xbox. I’m not a fucking know-it-all, but my experienced brain can’t comprehend why these decisions were made. Maybe I need to be more sympathetic towards billionaires, I dunno.
