I think it's pretty neat that one of the legit breakout indie success stories this year is a game about painstakingly designing and sewing opulent ballgowns store.steampowered.com/app/4019220/...

Dressmaker on Steam

Become a dressmaker! Choose fabric, cut out patterns, and sew them all together to satisfy (or sabotage!) townsfolk in this cozy crafting game inspired by real dressmaking.

It's almost harder to not own The Witcher 3 on one or multiple platforms at this point. The Remaster being a free upgrade is just such a cool thing for players when *looks at everything else happening in gaming right now*.

I have read the full quote but the headline makes it sound like he's going "You think kids are stupid as shit? I don't even know where I /live/." And then you see the full quote and it turns out, yeah, that's basically what he's saying.

I wanted so badly to love Marvel’s Wolverine, being that he is one of my favorite X-men. Unfortunately, Insomniacs adventure with the mutant is a mostly unremarkable event. The skeleton is a solid foundation but it lacks its adamantium sheen. Our review youtu.be/VI-Zhn9rFP4?...

Everyone's talking about the cuts to the studios and dev, which, yes, absolutely. But the behind the scenes cuts to areas like business planning, forecasting, demand planning... these aren't cuts a serious business makes, imo.

By the time this merger ruins HBO, destroys WB, gets 5,000 people fired, moves production overseas, and guts the quality of the movies the new studio makes, most people will have forgotten how fast the AGs caved and how little they got in this deal. Writers will not.

They fired so many artists over this too. People who helped make the game iconic were tossed out on the street because the Slop Faucet could do it "decent enough". If you still play Fortnite, you're funding the hyper-acceleration of AI replacing Artists in Gaming

This is really more down to the numbers than most people are willing to admit. Kojima is a name. You put in your catalog to bolster interest in the overall product but he ultimately doesn’t make the money back off his games alone.
