Ende 2022 habe ich ein kostenloses PDF-Magazin über winterliche Games veröffentlicht. Mein Fokus lag auf Indiegames & vergessenen Klassikern. Zudem sind einige Specials drin, bei denen auch @docower.bsky.social @lazerpunch.bsky.social mitgewirkt haben.

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.

@gamesmarket.global habt ihr die Shitshow bzgl. Misery (hat gerade auch den Community Vote der DevGAMM gewonnen) auf dem Schirm? GSC Game World hat Valve dazu gezwungen, das Spiel vorerst aus dem Store zu nehmen. Der russische Dev + sein Discord scheinen übel zu sein: Nationalismus, Homophobie etc.

GP Advance was a 3D GBA racing game in development at Italian studio Prograph in 2003. Marketed as having "Psx-level graphics", using an in-house engine, the game featured up to 45k polygons on screen, running smoothly. In the end, no publisher could be found and the game was cancelled.

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

This seems outrageously cruel.
And just a handful of months before these folks would have been set to enjoy the release of one of the biggest games of their careers too.
The imbalance of power in the games industry remains utterly fucked.

BREAKING: Yesterday Grand Theft Auto VI maker Rockstar Games fired dozens of people, all of whom were involved in union efforts. A British union calls it "blatant and ruthless" union-busting. Take-Two Interactive says it was due to misconduct.

Here's the reason why you see so many people beg for reviews on Steam. Virtue's Heaven got past 10 reviews this weekend and suddenly the amount of page views tripled, mostly because the game started to show up in people's discovery queues.
