Just want you to know that when I asked Geoff why he gave the silent treatment to an open letter written by his own "future of games" program (& co-signed by 3000+ industry peers), he replied:
"Because that's my show and nobody gets to tell me how I should use my platform". 💀💀💀

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.

EXCLUSIVE on @gamedeveloper.bsky.social: not only has The Game Awards not nominated a Future Class for 2025, it's told alumni it "does not have any active programming plans" for the award.
The Future Class page was taken down sometime this year—eliminating a definitive archive of honorees.

The Coca-Cola Christmas ad, made with AI, used at least eight AI models known to be trained on copyrighted work without permission.
This is a huge middle finger to the artists whose work these models exploit, at scale, for huge commercial gain.

Fans have spent the last two years wondering why Xbox is closing studios, canceling games, raising prices, cutting jobs, and releasing its games on rival PlayStation and Nintendo platforms.
This ambitious 30% profit margin target helps explain many of those moves. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
