If you read the presentation (gamebiz.jp/news/433531) this has very little to do with "AI" - it's stuff like if there are 100 widgets onscreen you can draw them all by stamping them out rather than having 100 full instances, which is an optimization technique that's like 40 years old.

Some Hades cast members, stage actors, and Matt Mercer get together with some incredible artists, historians, and therapists and make a game about showing boomers and their ancestors what reality is through therapy. You can play it! It's real! And it's ON BIG STEAM SALE NOW

"Umberto Eco, who owned 50,000 strategy games had this to say about Steam libraries:

It is foolish to think that you have to play all the strategy games you buy, as it is foolish to criticize those who buy more strategy games than they will ever be able to play. It would be like saying that you should use all the cutlery or glasses or screwdrivers or drill bits you bought before buying new ones. There are things in life that we need to always have plenty of supplies, even if we will only use a small portion. If, for example, we consider strategy games as medicine, we understand that it is good to have many at home rather than a few; when you want to feel better, then you go to the 'medicine closet' and choose a strategy game. Not a random one, but the right strategy game for that moment. THat's why you should always have a nutrition choice! Those who buy only one strategy game, read only that one and then get rid of it. They simply apply the consumer mentality to strategy games, that is, they consider them a consumer product, a good. Those who love strategy games know that a strategy game is anything but a commodity."

I thought I could use Reddit to learn more about how I can help game devs, but I did NOT expect this level of hate for translators. Every day there's a new post about how "localization companies are a scam" and "everyone uses AI anyway, so there's no point in paying for it".

I think the issue is: people still see localization as an "extra cost", when it should be taken into account from the very beginning.

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.

Five years ago, when a Seattle burger chain raised employee wages & benefits the Reicht wing lost their minds, screaming the result would be $20 burgers & the company would end in bankruptcy. Today, the chain is even more popular than ever. Never let them try to tell you a living wage can’t work.

Night. The House of Chimes - a tower which you might immediately think of as Big Ben - is adrift in the River Thames. It still seems to be keeping time. In the background, a large, alien building looms over the city of London.

Koji Fox: "To be serious with you, it's only going to get harder to get into localization as a profession. A lot of companies are going to start, if they haven't already started, looking to AI to handle translation—which is frickin' sad. It's going to start limiting opportunities."

Tried my latest MtG deck with my friends yesterday and while it still needs some upgrades, the idea itself was already fun and “did the thing”. I’m doing a Tom Bombadil deck but with mostly FF Summon Sagas. Plus a bunch of recurrsion to get them back from the yard.
Magic the Gathering card: ‘Tom Bombadil’. a WUBRG 4/4 God Bard commander with the following text:

“As long as there are four or more lore counters among Sagas you control, Tom Bombadil has hexproof and indestructible.
Whenever the final chapter ability of a Saga you control resolves, reveal cards from the top of your library until you reveal a Saga card. Put that card onto the battlefield and the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order. This ability triggers only once each turn.”
