Hi! UNBEATABLE was supposed to come out tomorrow! That’s a scary sentence. Here’s a worse one: UNBEATABLE will now release on December 9. I hate that I have to say this. There’s no way to apologize f...

It's cool how we keep proving over and over and over again that there's a significant market for narrative-heavy, character-driven, single-player experiences in video games and publishers just categorically refuse to believe us

In creative fields, compliment your coworkers’ work when you like it. Many have never had a coworker compliment their work before. A compliment is a show of professional trust and if you never show it then you’re a real crap
