We are saddened and disappointed at Ubisoft’s announcement to close their Halifax studio just weeks after their video game workers collectively formed a union with CWA Canada Local 30111.

I told my boyfriend, "Get in the robot, Shinji" and he had no idea what I was talking about.

As the backlash to generative AI in video games continues to pick up steam heading into 2026, it'll be fascinating to see what is considered "made with generative AI." Can a dev team say they're not using AI if they're writing design docs with Copilot or using chatGPT to make schedules and budgets?

Ubisoft blaming the market and gamers for their falling sales rather than taking a hard look in the mirror is both hilarious and infuriating.

i guess you can't spell arc raiders without AI 😔 this sucks and if you're a dev you should be speaking out about it!
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.

For gamers who aren't in game dev, you should know that we are in one of the worst periods in game dev history in terms of industry stability and the reason you're not seeing that play out through products is because the average development window of games is 3-7 years so it hasn't reached you yet.
