Games industry illustration of the "Nazi bar" theory at work.
Feels like a good time to talk about when Larian employed an outright fascist and refused to fire him.
Over covid one of our engineers was radicalised. Next time we saw him he was watching Tim Pool videos in office and telling us about "cultural marxism" at work drinks, the whole nine yards

As far as I'm concerned, a Terminator porn parody has one job, and that's to effectively adapt the line "come with me if you want to live" for maximum comedic effect.

Hell yeah. Incredible vote, mad respect to the workers for standing up. As I say every time there's a win for unionization, and especially under the Microsoft behemoth, this will inspire others toward collective action.
Devs deserve better and they're gonna start taking it.

doom creator id software just became the latest microsoft studio to unionize. though the neutrality agreement that has allowed CWA to organize so many studios recently lapsed, id devs told me that only applies to activision blizzard for now

The bsky app has never worked right on my phone, and today I open it to find it demanding my age but then saying it doesn't have authorization to amend my account. Had to download a third-party app that seemingly DGAF about age verification.

Hi! Game expert here, this is not funny. The video game industry only releases ports of a game through 4 console generations when its in distress
Listen, only when we stop seeing new Skyrim ports will I think that gaming is truly dead.

Also, that lady wrote books that you probably only thought were good because you were a child and/or an adult coming back to reading. You can just forget about her and it'll be fine.
all yall posting breathless aghast screenshots of that lady's book are doing NOTHING but putting even more money in her pockets. Yall want her to go away but you are literally paying her to stick around and entertain you with her shamelessness

The thing that really gets in my craw about Tim Sweeney's bitching over AI disclosure is that these are the same people who want to tell us how great AI is going to be for games. Like, which is it? Are you proud that you're using the tool or aren't you?

People making useful content were forced to make the content less useful to conform to constantly changing demands from search companies.
The result?
Audiences hated this, creating demand for AI "summaries" which trim out the SEO crap... and make the content even less useful by introducing errors.
