This is the best editor's note:

How do you feel about becoming a political lightning rod?

People occasionally just flip [me] off or whatever, but nobody's come up to me and tried to make a statement about anything. Personally, it's kind of dumb. It's just a vehicle. So it's ironic that it would even become a political statement, but nonetheless it is. [Editor’s note: Taylor was arrested and plead guilty to conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding in the January 6 attack on the Capitol. He was later pardoned by President Trump.]

Quantic Dream announces they are developing a competitive multiplayer game

Star Wars: Eclipse development still continues

blog.quanticdream.com/writing-a-ne...

For over 28 years, Quantic Dream has been pushing the boundaries of interactive storytelling. With award-winning titles like Heavy Rain, Beyond: Two Souls, and Detroit: Become Human, more than 25 million players worldwide have shared the journeys of Ethan Mars, Jodie Holmes, Kara, Markus and Connor, with us.

Since 2018, we have entered a new phase of growth and innovation. We doubled the size of the team, bringing together talents from all over the world united by the same passion for creativity. We opened a new studio in Montreal, moved into new headquarters in Paris, built the next generation of our proprietary technology, and became our own publisher.

After years as a single-project studio, we also decided to take a new step. Multiple teams are fully dedicated to crafting the next generation of great games, including something very different, a competitive multiplayer experience, born from the same spirit of curiosity and creativity that has always defined us.

This new title may surprise our fans as it is very different from what we have done so far. But taking risks, challenging ourselves, exploring new ways of playing and telling stories, and attempting what seems impossible, has always been part of our DNA.

We also know how demanding it is to create something new. Earning the trust of players, standing out in such a competitive space, and introducing fresh concepts is incredibly challenging. And since we have no legacy in this genre, we know we have everything to prove — which is why your support and feedback will be essential. Together, we believe we can create something truly unique.

Of course, development of Star Wars: Eclipse continues, and we are eager to share more with you in the future.

I want to take this opportunity to thank all our fans around the world for playing our games year after year, for their kind words whenever we meet, for their patience and encouragement.

WSL is an interesting point because I think it's actually been a tactical move go *keep* people on windows. "No need to move to Linux, you can run it all here!"

新膣エヴァンゲリオン @thenetho.bsky.social · 11h

Yes but they are custom builds scrapped together, an OEM version without bloatwate is a different kettle of fish from corporate perspective

新膣エヴァンゲリオン @thenetho.bsky.social · 11h

It makes zero sense considering their "everything is an Xbox push" but i can only imagine it's because it's Linux specifically, and that's competition to the core product of windows. Xbox probably want to and have been told not to by corp

Obviously I've been saying this from day one but Microsoft making a handheld is such an obvious fools errand. Valve had to make theirs run Linux to get it to Work Correctly and every competitor has struggled with having Windows on theirs. Microsoft were never gonna get it right

Microsoft are so insane man. Why does their handheld have copilot and bing installed. Why is the office shim there. I mean I know why and it's because Microsoft ship these with every version of windows, even embedded, but christ

Raiding is a bit of a secret weapon because to do it you have to play All Of An MMO first which is a huge, off-putting thing. But it's unparalleled.

See I thought this and then I got into raiding and there is literally nothing else in video games like high-end raiding. *That's* the special sauce of MMOs. There's a reason every multiplayer game uses MMO party comp now
