Really dug this from @designdelve.bsky.social, on the delightful designs of "Majora's Mask." That took me back, to a game I know less well than "Ocarina of Time." Well worth a watch. www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6Yp...

Second Wind, a company made up of former Escapist creatives, is a profitable small business with a six-figure war chest, half a million YouTube subs, and nearly 90M views in under 2.5 years the company that let that talent slip away is laying off what workers that remain and pivoting to AI

I find it interesting how it never stops getting easier for content creators to ragebait for monetization, including an evergrowing skill to take things of context. But what I wonder the most is about the audience. Looking for artificial ways to be angry can't be healthy.

I find it frustrating Square-Enix (and for another example, SEGA and ATLUS) are not even doing paid upgrades. PSN Store? Buy it once for PS4 and PS5 Xbox? Buy it once for Xbox One, Xbox Series S|X and why not, PC too And if you go physical, only the Switch 1 copy is offline.

NEW: EA CEO Andrew Wilson was paid $30.5 million in cash and stock this past year, up about $5m from a year ago Since the U.S. requires companies to compare CEO pay to employee pay, I made an EA pay chart To make it work, I had to make it VERY TALL Take a look: www.gamefile.news/p/ea-ceo-and...

Behold, the tallest chart in Game File history. PLUS: EA execs were paid (a little) more for boosting generative AI

If you like the most recent Assassin’s Creed games you’ll dig Shadows. As a longtime fan, I just miss the franchise having an identity and the game tries to cater to everyone which makes it feel like it doesn’t know what direction to go. Mission design in the particular suffers for it.
