I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.
That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.

Just a note to say I'm not really using/checking bluesky anymore either. I don't want to send in my ID or whatever to view my DMs and Twitter is still shit. If you need me I'm pretty much only using LinkedIn and Instagram (same username) these days.

Wealth inequality is the reason for this. The wealthy are getting wealthier and can afford the constant increases in price, which drives further increases. Everyone left on the same wages for twenty years cannot.

Very late to the party, but Slay the Princess is a really interesting game. I very much enjoyed it. I especially liked how they gave the 'protagonist' a varied voice through their inner personality traits depending on what happened to him. Really brought life to it. Ironically.

I cannot stress enough: you cannot give an inch on this issue.
The moment you start accepting media using genAI for "small" things or just tiny aspects of production, they will only start outsourcing more of the process to AI
This is how the smallest end of the wedge is driven in against laborers

We’ve seen a wide range of accusations regarding the use of AI-generated content in The Alters, and we feel it’s important to clarify our approach and give you more context.

My experience with making placeholder content, is you want it to look bad. You need to be able to spot it at a glance and go "that's way too shit to be finished" so you can ensure it's replaced properly. Placeholders that can masquerade as complete assets are sketchy.

Did my first professional video games voiceover gig today. I gave up on acting about nine or ten years ago, and I'd forgotten just how exhilarating it is. I had so much fun and I can't wait to share more about the wacky little character and the excellent game.
