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". 💀💀💀

The Craig era was literally a reboot that ignored the last 20 movies Horowitz you fucking hack
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”
Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:
“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

Beware of a Phishing account that's pretending to be Bsky Support. I just got messaged and I've seen others get this too. Report and block. My friend lost his social media accounts to these scammers.

Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice.
They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.

The most basic argument I can give you for ditching Spotify for *anything* is Spotify, uniquely, pays *nothing* for much of the music on the platform. Is there *any* improvement in paying for Spotify over pirating? You're a paper-thin moral slice away from buying music from a bootlegger. Why do it?
Confirmed: From 2024, tracks on Spotify will have to be played 1,000 times before they start earning money
Spotify has told industry players that it expects the new 1,000-play minimum annual threshold will reallocate tens of millions of dollars per year from 0.5% of its current royalty pool to the other 99...

Reminder that they had to split this film into two parts and reshoot the entire third act because the crew was not aware until *after* they had cast, shot and edited it that they had violated a signed agreement between the Chandlers and Jackson's estate against dramatising the sexual abuse case

If you're wondering how this will go Square Enix handed off their mobile Octopath game to NetEase who immediately started using ChatGPT to translate everything resulting in text like this. When players complained they started asking fans to fix their translations in exchange for in-game currency

The hotly anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI has been delayed once again, from May 26 to November 19, 2026.
The purpose is to give the team, "some additional time to finish the game with the high level of polish players expect and deserve." bit.ly/4oCb7yf
