Had a few of these in my time, usually demanding I remove sentences like 'Bobby Kotick has been accused of enabling harassment at Activision Blizzard' from stories covering the publisher during his time at the helm. Truly, the actions of someone with no skeletons in their closet.

In recent years, the media has quietly begun to change the way in which it writes about Bobby Kotick, the former CEO of Activision Blizzard. PMG investigates how Kotick used the threat of defamation to reshape his legacy in the games business, one article at a time. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKwp...

In retrospect, Obsidian getting Pentiment out there into the world before Microsoft exploded really feels like they pulled off the weirdest heist in gaming history.

Two hours with Retold were enough to convince me that it’ll be the definitive way to experience Legends, especially with a bit more time in the oven.

Wheeling out Matt Booty for the layoff news this time REALLY points to Xbox wanting to build this insane parasocial cult of personality around Asha Sharma tbh. And people eat it up! Keep jingling the keys!

You really couldn't have asked for a more good faith way of approaching the subject and yet... extremely disappointing! I experienced this at the 1666 Amsterdam demo. If the tech is so great at what it does, why are you so annoyed when we ask you what it is actually doing?
Both Kanno’s answer and that Steam description are still notably vague, so wanting some actual details, I decided to push the issue. I asked, “So if you were to explain, what using it for ideation actually means. What does that process look like for someone, you know, someone who might not be a game developer?”It was at this point I noticed Kanno become somewhat annoyed that I had not moved on. Following a short exchange with his translator, she told me, “[So], we actually have to update this explanation, if you, uh, could… it’s all written in there [on Steam].”

I decided, maybe unwisely, not to drop this line of questioning, consulting my chicken handwriting in my notebook, “ So I do have the current Steam disclosure here- uh, which is, ‘Gen AI was used as part of the ideation process for background objects. However, no AI-generated content will be included in the final game.’ Uh–”

Before I had a chance to reiterate the parameters of the question and ask again what Gen-AI being used for ideation looked like, Kanno began talking to his translator, seemingly visibly annoyed. She then told me, “So it is as it’s written in the explanation, and today I would like to talk about Crazy Taxi: World Tour and the time is limited.”

Really proud to have had the chance to review Marvel’s Wolverine. It has some issues, but it’s still a great time, the story especially surprised and stuck with me. My review: www.thegamer.com/marvels-wolv...

Marvel’s Wolverine Was Worth The Long Wait
Logan’s first triple-A outing has some flaws, but brutal combat and a heartfelt story make it another standout Marvel game.
