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.

Ira been heartbreaking see industry friends praise this game as it actively works to take away their jobs

For Arc Raiders to ride the wave of human sociability all the way to the bank, while also being so contemptuous of the thing that makes us social animals in its own workflow demonstrates a lack of artistic integrity that I find impossible to ignore.

sort of incredible to read a review that doesn't just made a vague nod at AI being bad, but actively reckons with the ways in which falling obsessively to AI usage actively obliterates the artistic intent and integrity of the work you've made.

Here's a bit of weekend drama:
Indie game Misery, the 'what if Abiotic Factor but S.T.A.L.K.E.R' game has allegedly been DMCA'd by GSC Game World, the creators of the STALKER games
What I can confirm is that at time of posting the store page for Misery has been pulled from Steam

Look, he's been really busy helping out some other promising industry upstarts. The "Future Class" program was absolutely NOT a cynical and performative gesture that was abandoned as quickly as Geoff got his flowers for announcing it.

Hmm. Hey Horror archivists - Condemned: Criminal Origins seems to have been de-listed from Steam. License expired. C:CO feels to me as if it comes from a parallel timeline where Western Horror went a different way.
Key re-sellers' prices aren't *gruesome* yet. So, just in case - here's a heads up.
