And so, many more beloved "serious" studios are admitting to using AI in their processes. It's not that "serious studios don't use AI", it's that they're emboldened now since they want to cut costs and have an edge no matter the medium and long term damage of that.

I keep talking to people who are very anti AI who admit they're fine with it being used ' to brainstorm/ generate ideas', I have to explain very clearly why that's just a terrible idea as generating assets. People genuinely don't know what concept art is/what concept artists do!

I deactivated this acc a mont ago because the "serious studios don't use genAI" discourse felt navel-gazing and myopic in relation to the scope of the threat of genAI in games, like a chest-beating call and response to refuse looking at it. I was called names and shut down. I just came here to say:

It's interesting that the person I quoted *immediately* blocked me so just in case -- hi, I'm Mar, I'm a decolonial games scholar and dev from the global south, I hate genAI and I also work in rhetorics aka how discourse is delivered and perceived.

Mar, werewolf ABD @marscardua.bsky.social · 12/11/2025

All discourse I read today is about North Am./West. EU game studios not using genAI. Early this year I was told by reliable sources that most Asian studios use it. If that's true, then once again the bulk of devs is willingly ignoring the power shift in the industry, and becoming vulnerable to it.

I don't even remember who hated me 20 years ago. I had a pretty swell high school experience, tbf. If we're flexible, there was one person in uni though. She'd probably say I was stuck-up and thought I was better than others but she spread slutshaming rumors about me so

Today is the Day of the Dead. Remember that, in Brazil, it's not uncommon (especially in the queer community) to refer to exes as "the deceased". Take a moment to celebrate their "death" today. You're welcome.

And now this is one of my favorite photos of myself.

Photo of a light skinned tall femme with brown wavy hair past their shoulders, wearing all black (long skirt, leather jacket, t-shirt, cat ears, leggings, and wooly boots) except for cream fingerless gloves. They have one foot on top of a chair, and is pretending to lick their hand with a blase expression.

I had the positively DISGRACEFUL idea to wear heels for two nights straight, strolling and standing around for hours and hours in thin sticks (night one) and dancing in unbroken boots (night 2). I hadn't worn heels in about 2 years. Everything was lovely so regrets should hit starting tomorrow.

Character design: You have two cows. Each has a clear sillhouette. Your 3d artist is so tired. Communication design: You have two cows. They're lovingly rendered. 100% more rendered than in-engine. Concept design (/ art): players will always think your cows are better than the shipped game's cows.

Commission for @phan13.bsky.social of their lovely OC family I finished last week 🥹 This was SUCH a joy to make. Thank you 💜💜💜 #commission #commissionsopen #occommission #digitalart #family

Digital art of a family of original characters sitting on the floor against a sofa/blanket fort, embracing while watching tv (out of frame). The tallest man, who's about 50 with faded scars and greying auburn hair, is lovingly watching his husband, an also greying blonde man wearing glasses whos snoring against the firat man's chest. Between them, a small child with purple hair is splayed, chomping a slice of pizza, wearing orange dinosaur jammies. The tallest man has one arm around his husband and another around a teenager with slightly darker skin and a dark afro, wearing lilac jammies and wolf slippers while muching on popcorn she's grabbing from a bowl on her lap. Nestled behind the blonde man a tween boy wearing a headphones with cat ears and a hoodie is not watching tv, but reading a book under a soft yellow light coming from behind them. The scene is serene.

'Solitude, a word carved in my heart Who is silent and resigned in the beat of disillusion' 🎵 #dafanfriDAys #neverook #nevegallus #emmrich #veilguard

Digital art of Emmrich from Dragon Age waltzing on the soft pink light with a femme qunari Rook wearing an elaborate dress, globes, boots, and hairdo as music plays around them.

Emmrich smiles as he says: "You're so graceful on your feet, Rook, my dear."
Rook is blushing, coyly smiling: "O-oh. The Mercar made sure I had proper ballroom etiquette."

On a narrow panel below Neve is sitting and leaning against the back of the chair, her leg clearly visible, as she brings a cup to her lips. She's watching the out of frame dance with the corner of her eye.

The conversation continues out of frame:
Emmrich: "You clearly took the lessons to heart. Marvelous."
Rook, with a pink "♥︎giggle♥︎" around their speech bubble: "You're a gentleman, Professor Volkarin."

Please read our statement regarding the proposed Electronic Arts buyout. We refuse to let corporate greed decide the future of our industry. cwa-union.org/news/release...

United Videogame Workers-CWA Statement on Proposed Electronic Arts Buyout
October 15, 2025
NATIONWIDE — The following statement is from United Videogame Workers-CWA Local 9433.

The recently proposed acquisition of Electronic Arts (EA) by the sovereign wealth fund of Saudi Arabia and private equity firms, including Jared Kushner’s Affinity Partners, will further concentrate power and wealth into the hands of a few gatekeepers while doing nothing to address the concerns of players and workers.

EA is not a struggling company. With annual revenues reaching $7.5 billion and $1 billion in profit each year, EA is one of the largest video game developers and publishers in the world. EA’s success has been entirely driven by tens of thousands of EA workers whose creativity, skill, and innovation made EA worth buying in the first place. Yet we, the very people who will be jeopardized as a result of this deal, were not represented at all when this buyout was negotiated or discussed.

We are particularly worried about the future of our studios that are arbitrarily deemed ‘less profitable’ but whose contributions to the video game industry define EA’s reputation. Since 2022, an estimated 40,000 video game workers have already lost their jobs due to mass layoffs at AAA and indie studios alike. As reported in Game Developer, this deal will result in EA having to finance nearly $20 billion in debt—who will be spared, which corners will executives cut, and what studios will be sacrificed in order for that to happen?

If jobs are lost or studios are closed due to this deal, that would be a choice, not a necessity, made to pad investors’ pockets—not to strengthen the company.

Every time private equity or billionaire investors take a studio private, workers lose visibility, transparency, and power. Decisions that shape our jobs, our art, and our futures are made behind closed doors by executives who have never written a line of code, built worlds, or supported live services. We are…
