Many, many eggs were harmed while playing this game.

It's the morning, ykw that means! It's time for a new Exalclaw post about Egg and the act of hatching in a game that feels like its namesake (yes, eggs were broken in the production of this piece):

I wrote more words about how it feels to be a translator watching the games press report on AI and labor, coming from a field that's fought these battles for decades. It may look like I'm beating up on one outlet, but it's not about them; I've been trying to write this for me and my peers all year.

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.
