I'm sorry, "Metacritic bonuses" are still a thing?! They should never be a thing! If I play your game and review it and it didn't work for me and I don't think it's good, that doesn't mean the people who made it should get paid any less!

As well as having the life-changing impact of losing a job, imminent layoffs at The Coalition could also lead to another financial loss for current employees. According to Eurogamer, E-Day developers were working under the assumption of receiving a so-called “Metacritic bonus,” a pay-out should the game achieve a given Metacritic score based on critics’ reviews. However, according to the terms, to be eligible for this you still have to be working at the company at the time of the pay-out, which is expected to be “near the end of October.” Anyone let go before that could possibly no longer receive the reward for their work.

Jennifer Hale once told me Canadians need to champion ourselves more. I wholeheartedly agree. Over the past few months, I reached out to dozens of Canadian devs to learn their favourite Canadian games. Their varied responses offer a wonderful spotlight on some of the incredible talent we have here.🍁

These are must-play Canadian games, according to Canadian devs

As Canadians, we don't champion ourselves enough, so we asked dozens of game developers to do just that.

65% AfD bei Menschen mit schlechter finanzieller Lage, kursiert gerade als Beweis für "Armut macht AfD". Auch viele Linke verbreiten diesen Take und führen diese Wahltagsgrafik von ARD/Infratest dimap als Beleg an. Aber: Das ist eine Selbsteinschätzung, keine Einkommensstatistik. (1/13)

Zu sehen ist ein Balkendiagramm "Landtagswahl Sachsen-Anhalt 2026 mit der Frage Wer wählte wen?" von Infratest dimap für die ARD. Der Screenshot zeigt die Kategorie "finanzielle Lage", Auswahl "schlecht". Gezeigt werden die Stimmanteile in Prozent für Menschen, die ihre finanzielle Lage als schlecht einschätzen, mit dem Gesamtwert aller Wählenden in Klammern zum Vergleich: CDU 8 Prozent (alle: 19), AfD 65 Prozent (alle: 44), Linke 9 Prozent (alle: 10), SPD 3 Prozent (alle: 8), FDP 1 Prozent (alle: 2), Grüne 4 Prozent (alle: 9), BSW 6 Prozent (alle: 5), Andere 4 Prozent (alle: 3).

love the idea that trucy is just as bad with twins as papa wright

Fanart of Trucy and the de Famme sisters from Ace Attorney. Trucy is saying, "Unlike my silly daddy, I can tell which twin is the evil one." next to a graphic of the twins. Betty is described as devilish, batlike, easily angered and pushing Bonny around. Bonny is described as soft, bunnylike, with an unthreatening aura and clumsy and lacking confidence. With this information, Trucy concludes that the evil twin is Bonny while Betty loudly protests and Bonny cheers.

Amuro, have you ever realized that the video games often labeled as “girl games” revolve around positions like store owner or farmer which for generations were opportunities only given to men. As a child of a mother, do you feel this reflects how nonviolent care is incompatible with our masculinity?
