Anyone else noticed how Nazi rallies get the go-ahead fairly easily from state governments, then the horrified public reaction is weaponised to pass anti-protest laws, which are then used to quash anti-genocide dissent and justify police assaults on small brown women? You picking up on this, too??

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.

A lot of good games and peoples' careers died on the altar of this frankly impossible goal and players should be more mad about this than they'll probably express.
They'll feel it tho when Satya and Amy jettison Xbox en total to make room for more openai bullshit.
SCOOP: For the last two years, Microsoft has pushed Xbox to hit profit margins of 30%, an ambitious target that's far higher than the industry average.

This chase for profit has led Xbox to raise prices, cut thousands of jobs, and rethink everything.

So if you’d like to support someone whose previous videogame website (which they spent a great deal of effort building into an award winning website with award winning journos and a mentorship program) also got turned into a casino site…

@thisweekinvideogames.com

😅
Videogamer's new logo a screaming exclamation mark on the 'support independent games media' argument. Legitimately thought this was someone taking the piss when it was first posted in a discord, but no, it's on the site. You have to laugh (or else you'll cry)
