Did you know that if inflation goes up but your salary doesn't get a cost of living adjustment... you just took a pay cut?

What the cutesy Epic PR that's never worked a day of their life in the trenches fails to understand is a lot of us join the game industry—against our own financial interests, I'll add—precisely because it offers uniquely difficult problems to solve and solving them is, thus, uniquely fulfilling.

No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

It is wild to see all these entertainment companies desperately turning their pockets inside out looking for old, forgotten IPs to renew instead of letting their creative teams take some swings to potentially create new stories.

Yesterday, Wizards informed us that it doesn’t intend to voluntarily recognize the D&D or Studio X units of our union ahead of a vote. We remain committed to creating a workplace focused on wellness, transparency, and collaboration by winning our coming election.

Fascinating how bosses will often try to frame layoffs as a positive thing. “We’re now a leaner, meaner, hungrier team” as if anyone has ever enjoyed or done their best work while being overworked, stressed, and hangry

I had heard they were mass scanning background actors for AI nonsense, but if it’s already gotten to the point where they’re trying to slip in AI waivers on contracts with big names like Nicolas fucking Cage we’ve got to be even louder and angrier about how much we want all AI out of our media.

This is a very messy situation to be sure, but it continues to depress the shit out of me just how many people in this industry cannot conceive of supporting an effort that does not benefit them directly, even if it helps their more vulnerable peers.

Okay, but, question about this framing. * is anyone who worked on the old game working on the new game * is anyone who worked on the old game getting paid in any fashion BC if the answer is no and no, that's not "saving it from cancellation", Gamespot

The press release explains that Gods with Badges took the work already completed by Artificer and reinterpreted it “through Strange Scaffold’s distinctive creative lens.” Studio Head Xalavier Nelson Jr. added that he is “deeply grateful to the original developers at Artificer for trusting us with their project, and can’t wait for people to see what we’ve built on this complex, exciting foundation.”

When, not if, another writer's strike happens, or *any* other kind of creative labor action, Ellison will pack the gushing wound full of LLM's. He'll have laid off everyone who could protest it, ripped apart everything that could limit the damage, etc.

I wish people understood that TV writers: 1. *Have* actually thought more about this than even the most die hard fan. 2. Are beholden to time, money, and owner constraints that fans will never be aware of. 3. Are extremely likely to already be aware of any critiques because (see 1) but (see 2)

Regular looks back at Alone In The Dark are the key to both a healthy life, and to fantasizing about games made of 90s polygons. Anyway, this is worth a watch: www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzaV...
