Spider-Vice @spidervice.com · 22/08/2026and then you have the jokers celebrating leaks as if it actually benefits anyone - it never does, not even the fans/"gamers". as "exciting" as it might feel to see things as a fan, it's still a surprise spoiled and people's unfinished work being aired out like laundry 010
Spider-Vice @spidervice.com · 22/08/2026this 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 110

Reposted by Spider-ViceChris Bratt @chrisbratt.bsky.social · 23/07/2026Back 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...youtube.comRockstar Fired 34 People, but the Union Is Bigger than EverYouTube video by People Make Games 3919357

I aim to do a generational save and I've been playing it for quite a while now so all sorts of stuff just starts happening lmao 130
Spider-Vice @spidervice.com · 03/07/2026Started 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) 120

Reposted by Spider-Vicealyssa mercante @alyssamerc.bsky.social · 03/06/2026Also, 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. 1131555

Reposted by Spider-ViceDominic Tarason @dominictarason.com · 21/03/2026I 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. 1123348

Spider-Vice @spidervice.com · 06/03/2026My 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. 030
Spider-Vice @spidervice.com · 04/03/2026everyone loses with this. At least I got to play TLOU and Horizon properly. I'd be quite worried about Nixxes as well, imagine buying out a studio specialised in PC ports then doing this lol 010

Reposted by Spider-ViceDominic Tarason @dominictarason.com · 28/02/2026A 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. 9757
