NEW: I spoke to original Halo devs about that ICE Halo post

One: "abhorrent”

Another: "Using Halo imagery in a call to ‘destroy’ people because of their immigration status goes way too far, and ought to offend every Halo fan, regardless of political orientation”

Halo co-creator says ICE’s Halo-themed recruitment ad “makes me sick”
Another Halo maker says ad "ought to offend every Halo fan, regardless of political orientation." ALSO: A developer whose game just launched on Xbox slams Microsoft’s silence

I legitimately didn't know they were competing with Steam and it's crazy to me that they burnt so much money on what sounds like something with very little (or wildly misguided) market research.
Ethan Evans, former Amazon VP As VP of Prime Gaming at Amazon, we failed multiple times to disrupt the game platform Steam. We were at least 250x bigger, and we tried everything. But ultimately, Goliath lost. Here's why: The 15+ year long attempt to challenge Steam started before I was VP of Prime Gaming, but we never cracked the code. Not under my leadership or anyone else's. The first way we tried to enter the online-game-store market was through acquisition. We acquired Reflexive Entertainment (a small PC game store) and tried to scale it. It went nowhere. Then, after buying Twitch, we created our own PC games store. Our assumption was that gamers would naturally buy from us because they were already using Twitch. Wrong. Finally, we built "Luna," a game streaming service that let people play without a high-end PC. Around the same time, Google tried the same thing with their product "Stadia." Neither gained significant traction. The whole time, Steam dominated despite being a relatively small company (compared to Amazon and Google). The mistake was that we underestimated what made consumers use Steam It was a store, a social network, a library, and a trophy case all in one. And it worked well. At Amazon, we assumed that size and visibility would be enough to attract customers, but we underestimated the power of existing user habits We never validated our core assumptions before investing heavily in solutions. The truth is that gamers already had the solution to their problems and they weren't going to switch platforms just because a new one was available We needed to build something dramatically better, but we failed to do so. And we needed to validate our assumptions about our customers before starting to build. But we never really did that either. Just because you are big enough to build something doesn't mean people will use it

I want to take a moment today while eyes are laser focused on Microsoft to say that I quite enjoyed The Outer Worlds back when it came out. I have been looking forward to the sequel.

I will not be buying it. Consider using what power you have to do the same. bdsmovement.net/microsoft

Microsoft is perhaps the most complicit tech company in Israel’s illegal apartheid regime and ongoing genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza.

GOG has always taken games preservation very seriously

People forget, it originally stood for "Good Old Games", where they got their start finding old games in licensing hell, getting distribution rights, then tweaking them to run on modern hardware
acvalens.com Ana Valens | 🔞 @acvalens.com · Sep 11
GOG, on paypro censorship:

"We see it as a game preservation issue. [...] Every game that disappears from distribution is potentially lost to game preservation efforts. It is particularly worrying when games are potentially vanishing due to external pressure."

automaton-media.com/en/interview...
Earning the trust of major Japanese developers like Capcom is not an easy task, but GOG is getting there, one classic at a time. We ask GOG about preservation and censorship - AUTOMATON WEST
AUTOMATON interviewed Piotr Gnyp, senior PR rep of GOG.com, who told us more about the platform's Preservation Program.

I saw an infographic a couple years ago about how to remove source identifiers from links and why it's important, but I can't find it again and too many people I know are sending me links with them so here's an infographic straight from the oven
Header text: "HEY YOU! YES YOU! TAKE THIS SHIT OUT OF LINKS!" This is followed by a couple example urls, with a red square highlighting the sections with source identifiers. The rest of the text is as follows: Source identifiers are used to track your activity on a site. Where you came from, what device you use, and even who you talk to. Whether it's written clearly in the url or tied to a random string of characters, it's assigned to your activity. When you send a link containing a source identifier to somebody and they click it, it signals to the website that you two are connected. And that data goes right back to the website operators, and thus their advertisers. Whenever you select "share" or "copy link" on a social app or website, it creates a link like this. If you give even the smallest shit about online privacy, it's important to remove them. Everything after the "?" symbol can be removed without issue, especially sections starting with "si=" or "utm_source="

Rewind our clocks, back to the start. Celebrating 15 years of #XenobladeChronicles with art representing the very first chapter.
Art of characters from the first Xenoblade Chronicles including Shulk in the centre leaning on the Monado to support his weight, struggling to stand up, and portraits of Fiora, Dunban and Metal Face in the background around him. Drawn in a Yoji Shinkawa inspired art style that I have been practicing since the start of this year.

yea honestly reading this for myself this really doesnt come off as "game devs should start using genAI for large-scale games", more "games are getting too big and unsustainable to make and to keep it up theyre gonna have to resort to shit like genAI". not advocacy but lament for the state of things
