You just know whoever did some of these "resume control" animations for Zero Company was like "Yeah and then he's gonna walk into the light so that it frames his eyes in it," and that's great.

I'm increasingly worried about the future as AI enables antisocial behavior at scale. Community engagement has been a core of so many niches and the notion that one dickhead with an agent can come in like a wrecking ball is problematic and fundamentally antisocial

NEW: Here's a big read about how Ubisoft union workers in Milan and Canada are attempting to push back against a sweeping five-day return-to-office mandate they claim is already tanking morale and will result in employees being forced to leave. Notably, it is also driving union interest.

An explanation on why Big Walk isn't available on Xbox. bigwalk.game/xbox
Regarding Xbox

In June 2026 we announced that the release of Big Walk would be limited to computers, Switch 2 and PS5. Since then, we have received many messages and comments, asking about a future Xbox release. We would like to address those questions here:

We have made the decision not to release Big Walk on Xbox, in accordance with the Palestinian-led BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) movement’s call to boycott Microsoft, and their designation of Microsoft Games (and Xbox) as a priority boycott target. If you need help understanding our motives, we would recommend reading about why Microsoft is a BDS priority target, the successes this kind of pressure has already had on Microsoft, and especially, watching this great introductory piece by People Make Games.

It has always been our intention for Big Walk to be played by groups of friends, and we know that keeping the game off Xbox runs counter to those intentions. This decision means that some people will miss out on playing Big Walk with their friends, and we understand the disappointment we’re causing. We are disappointed too.

We would love for people to be able to play the game on Xbox, but not until Microsoft and/or Xbox have been removed as BDS boycott targets.

We’ve made this decision with the belief that meaningful change can be made in the world, that coordinated collective action can confront even the most powerful interests, and that one day, Palestine will be free.

Thank you for your understanding.

Sincerely,
House House

Vibe coded programs are extremely dangerous. You have no idea wtf the code is made to do, and neither does the person distributing it. Like sure, it could infect your PC or create backdoors, but also memory leaks, render files unusable, brick it so you can't boot, anything Do not install them

Real developers giving their opinion on why this sucks. I had to stop what I was doing, and actually screen cap these last 2 statements because they are so important. I quote: "If you can't be arsed to make it, why should I be arsed to play it, let alone pay you for it."
"For an engine that has easily allowed us to do so much of our game DIY with a completely in-house render pipeline and tons of in-house editor tools, it's insanely frustrating to see Unity pushing things so hard in the exact opposite direction," he wrote.

Schaeffer notes he has been a devout Unity user since 2008, when he saved up money during his high school years to nab a Unity Pro educational license for $750 back when it was needed form post-screening and real-time shadows. To say he is disappointed in the company would be an understatement of some magnitude.

"The engine is unmatched for me and I hate seeing it die at the hands of such a foolish company," he continued. "[...] I'd like to go on record and say fuck GenAI. Fuck the companies that have made billions developing automated plagiarism machines and fuck anyone defending it. They don't make tools, they use the Earth's resources to shove human culture into a perpetually self-feeding meat grinder."
Second quote from Super Spline Studios co-founder Aron Durkin: ""If you can't be arsed to make it, why should I be arsed to play it, let alone pay you for it."

A reminder for those at the back.
A redraw of the i nice panel from Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns, where Batman snaps a rifle in two over his knee.

He says "THIS is the weaponnof the enemy. We do not NEED it. We will not USE it."
