One of the most interesting things happening in multiplayer gaming is Foxhole, the fantasy WW2 MMO with months-long wars fought by thousands of real players.

And by "fought," I mean some people just build train tracks and load clothes onto trains. www.pcgamer.com/games/mmo/fo...
Foxhole, the war MMO with months-long battles fought by thousands of real players, is evolving once again with planes, bombers, and paratroopers
The war MMO's next update finally takes the battle to the skies.

Something that I think could be misleading in AI discourse is how much is said about the attitudes of working artists without asking them. Is it really the case that every artist using AI tools has been forced to do so by a mean boss who doesn't understand art? Would they broadcast that?

If I had known the two paragraphs about genAI in my article today would be so controversial, I would have expanded them a bit! Here's a rough transcript of the relevant portion of my interview with Swen Vincke, so everyone has all the context. (Full article here: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...)

We knew some people would be surprised by invoking cozy here, but that was intentional. PMA is absolutely a cozy hangout game, despite eschewing the stereotypical mechanics and aesthetic of the life sims that dominate the "genre"
Whoa!

Promise Mascot Agency won Best Cozy Game in PC Gamer's Game of the Year Award 2025! 🙀

Thank you so much @pcgamer.com, that's nuts!

Mozilla may have good intentions here, I don't know, but opening with an obvious falsehood doesn't help its case: "AI isn't just another tech trend—it's at the heart of most apps, tools and technology we use today."

At the heart of most technology we use today? How do you come to that conclusion?

Larian is seen as a bastion of integrity in an industry that's spent the 2020s cutting corners, cutting jobs, and bending to culture warriors, so it's not surprising that generative AI use is being felt as a betrayal. But imo it's rather premature to declare it lost to hubris, based on what we know.
Larian defends itself as fans react to generative AI use: 'I'm not entirely sure we are the ideal target for the level of scorn'
Larian says that nothing AI-generated will appear in its games, and that it does not "develop concept art" with AI tools.

This game looks fun to me. I like that the protagonist is a big sweaty meathead.
No Law is an open world cyberpunk FPS RPG—we talked to the devs ahead of their big Game Awards reveal for more on the game, which reminds us a bit of Bulletstorm and Max Payne.

I remember trying out this theme, probably a few times, because I thought it was cool... maybe the colors reminded me of comic books or something. I'm sure I always switched back after a few minutes of experiencing the Hot Dog-verse. www.pcgamer.com/software/win...
Windows 3.1 included a red and yellow 'Hot Dog Stand' color scheme so garish it was long assumed to be a joke, so I tracked down Microsoft's original UI designer to get the true story

The tech industry's smol bean act is so maddening. Gee, all we did is put out products that make frequent errors while telling everyone they're going to lose their jobs to them. How come they don't like that?
Microsoft's head of AI doesn't understand why people don't like AI, and I don't understand why he doesn't understand because it's pretty obvious
Is it really "mindblowing" that people are skeptical of software that consistently doesn't do the things we're told it can do?
