this gaming leaking culture BS is kinda starting to piss me off in general, whatever happened to actually waiting for marketing beats like in the past? someone always has to spoil the party now for easy social media and/or crypto lmao

Back in October, Rockstar Games fired 34 employees for alleged gross misconduct. The severity of these firings could have spelled the end for a burgeoning union effort that was underway, but it didn't. In fact, the union is now *bigger* than it's ever been before. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ym4z...

Game workers protested outside the Build A Rocket Boy offices on Saturday, as the studio hosted a playtesting event for fans. BARB has laid off 250-300 employees over the last 13 months & has been accused of installing surveillance software on workers' PCs to root out "saboteurs" within the company

Started playing TS4 again and I love the dramatics in this game: - Teen Sim met her sweetheart in highschool aaages ago - After growing up they moved in together, got jobs and an apartment full of issues (classic) - Once grown into full adults and married, they decided to have a Science Baby (1/2)

"But, two years since its launch, the site has around just 10% of X’s estimated global users." This is presented as a failure. At 2yo, having 10% of the users of its biggest rival, which is 20yo, is a failure. No tech is allowed to just be a success, it has to be a blockbuster or it doesn't count.

Bluesky was launched as a Twitter rival — but it's far less popular. Now it's eyeing Reddit for inspiration

"I think the public square is not the direction we want to go in...we're very inspired by companies like Reddit," Bluesky's Rose Wang told CNBC.

Also, I'd encourage people to NOT ENGAGE with them directly on any social media platform, and resist the temptation to latch onto the rage bait they drop EVERY SINGLE TIME A GAME IS ANNOUNCED. The cycle has to stop somehow, and until platforms start deprioritizing slop, we have to try to ignore it.

I really hate how common this is becoming. It's often very organized, too. A couple big youtube or reddit figureheads say what the terms are, and they will keep up the siege until the developers agree to make the game that THE CONSUMERS want, and nothing else.

My work sometimes puts me in a position where I have to put "pressure" on people to finish things quicker due to higher up orders, and it feels so dehumanising even when you're being really nice about it, that I don't know how managers in game studios willingly crunch their employees.

A genuinely great looter-shooter that just keeps on growing and evolving. I highly recommend the Ultimate edition (£12/$14) which includes the latest expansion, which came out pretty recently. The story is also so politically incoherent that it's a fun game to even try to guess what the point is.

Today the British union IWGB said it has filed formal legal claims against Rockstar Games for firing 30+ employees two weeks ago, as Bloomberg first reported. Rockstar said the employees were leaking information. The IWGB calls it union-busting. More to come as the legal process plays out...

Finished @doublefine.com's Keeper earlier. An experience that really needs no words to be surprisingly emotional, with *amazing* art and music to boot. It's one of those games that is hard to talk about without spoiling anything because of the meticulous way that the story is told and shown. 10/10!
