Here's a fun Friday afternoon article from me! About the chilling effect of censorship in games, the ethical obligations of being a poweful entity in the medium, and how we respond when video games' freedom of expression - from so many directions - is under siege.

However you frame it, Valve's ham-fisted ban of an indie darling is another blow for free expression in video games, and this will always be a tragedy
Free expression in video games is in the spotlight, and Valve's banning of Horses might be only one instance of many that put that expression at risk.

El caso de Horses se está conectando al de Collective Shout, pero hay un par de diferencias cruciales. Hasta donde sé, ningune creadore independiente ha sido contactade por GOG para usar su caso como estrategia de promoción con la que posicionarse como última tienda online "independiente".

Please keep putting pressure on PayPal. Stories like this are becoming more and more common. Artists don’t deserve to lose their source of income over payment processors being puritanical/anti-small business.
I'm devastated, if I don't find an alternative that works with argentinians I'm contemplating the worst, I can't do regular jobs, art was my job for around 15 years
I don't do nsfw even when people insist me to
my life was already crumbling and now I don't know what to do

The original Let It Die was famous for its absolutely amazing soundtrack. Akira Yamaoka went and got in touch with a HUNDRED of his favourite indie bands and commissioned each to do a track named 'let it die'. The result was borderline mystical.
They're AI-generating the music here.
Fuck that.

The Let it Die sequel - Let it Die: Inferno - which is coming out next week (4th December), seems to have been built using a considerable amount of generative AI. https://bit.ly/4ol7lIA

Si la etapa de Lou Fine en Spirit se puede definir en unas pocas claves es en que Dolan es un incompetente absoluto además de abusón, un jefe Wiggum de los cuarenta, y Spirit es su Bugs Bunny en la sombra que siempre se asegura de hacerle quedar mal.

curious: are there any idle games like The Longing and Yolk Heroes that are all about waiting and letting the passage of time develop a narrative or something?
by that, i mean no power spikes like prestige loops. just a lot of waiting. i’m interested in this kind of narrative gaming lately.
