I found GDC to be underwhelming. Lots of cool people to meet but it's unfortunate a lot of the sessions and meet to match are pay walled behind high ticket prices. And a lot of the games in the expo hall are shoved to the back.

Final preparations for GDC.

I've got lots of SillySuspects goodies to hand out, including stickers and wanted cards.

Thanks for the suggestion Unity. Though good reviews and happy players are more than good enough for me. I don't need my games to earn me anything else.

I really miss GDPR and data privacy!

Back in the UK/EU, my inbox wasn’t full of spam. Now, every time I register for an event in the UAE, it feels like my details are being auctioned off

I miss the protections GDPR provided. The sheer volume of spam without it is ridiculous

Activision finally admits they use AI to generate CoD
skins

The worst thing about it...

They only came clean because Steam forced them to

Think about that

A billion $ company, built on the backs of artists and devs and quietly replacing them with AI. Not to enhance their work, to replace it

It's great that Chinese and Korean devs are back to using their skills and talents to make stellar single player AAA games rather than low effort mobile cash grab games.

Beyond excited to be attending my first GDC in San Francisco next month!

It's going to be a smashing week of networking, gaming and of course the many events happening around the city.

It’s frustrating to see EA suggest a beloved series should go live-service, especially after the struggles with titles like Anthem. Players cherish single-player experiences; why not focus on what makes Dragon Age special? What do you think the future holds for the RPG genre? #GamingNews

It seems EA is reflecting on its decision to remove live service from Dragon Age: The Veilguard. I find it interesting that they now think this move hurt their chances in a changing market. What do you think the future holds for single-player games? #GameIndustry
It sure sounds like Electronic Arts thinks cutting Dragon Age: The Veilguard's live service components was a mistake
CEO Andrew Wilson said Veilguard "had a high quality launch and was well-reviewed," but failed to "resonate" with gamers who want "shared-world features."

Every crime case in SillySuspects is randomly generated, which results in completely unique environments to explore. While doing internal testing I came across this cool little park area which was generated.I just love the beauty in randomness and what we have created at @classygamesstudios.com

This is absolutely ridiculous and an insult to the talented artists who bring games to life!

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6’s Christmas event features a Zombie Santa loading screen, complete with six fingers. This glaring error screams AI generation, a trademark of cutting corners.

I'm very happy for Hello Games. This will always be proof that you can salvage a bad launch by listening to the community.

If you haven't, I highly recommend you pick up No Man's Sky and give it a go. It's a smashing game!

I'm currently 10 minutes into an 8 hour drive on a sleeper bus in Vietnam. I've never played Half Life before and decided now is a perfect opportunity to play it on my Steam Deck.

Any tips and tricks for a first time Half Life player?

Musky boi is getting into game dev apparently.
