It had a pack-in game called Lair of Squid, which was inspired by DOOM. Ah, classic MS-DOS weirdness.

You love to see it. 💜 All the writing and zine work I do has been and always will be GenAI/ChatGPT free. Seeing the casual use of it in some retro gaming/tech circles has only added to my dislike for it.

one of the things that makes me most mad about genAI (and there are many) is we've been told there's not enough money for hiring. but there's billions poured into ai. so not enough money to hire workers. but infinite money to pour into technology whose goal is never having to pay workers again.

In a post-Share button world, it's been very hard to tell what games are actually hitting. It takes effort to post clips or fan art. That new Digimon game has some fan art. Death Stranding 2? Very few clips Yotei? A little here Kirby? You would think it's the biggest game in the world right now

Unfortunately, said film was a mixed bag of interesting ideas but lackluster execution as many creators behind the scenes revealed a lot of executive meddling.

It's disgusting that leadership at these companies won't do anything to protect their teams from bad-faith harassment campaigns, yet immediately cave to the absolute worst people who weren't going to buy their game anyway! Firing Drew did nothing but emboldened more harassment campaigns.

I'm immensely sick of the figure heads of game dev companies being silent about the harassment of game devs. This is how this nonsense becomes "the norm" and it should have never been accepted as such in the first place.

By allowing this to happen once we enable it forever. "But when the ire for Yotei eventually fades, Harrison knows it will just be transferred to another game, another group of developers, or another individual. That’s why she wants people to remember what actually happened to her."

It's disgraceful how little so many studios are prepared for, or even really give a shit, about what to do when an employee is targeted. This is not a new phenomenon, there are resources and consultants available, and creating a real plan doesn't take that long.

But it always takes someone(s) challenging the internal notion that 'everyone knows' that toxic players are a large part of your audience. And it's a fucking thankless job that often gets you labeled as 'difficult', regardless of the results.

We openly blocked bigots, racists & homophobes on social channels for one project. The result? Huge social channel growth, record MAU, positive sentiment shift. By avoiding challenging the tiny sliver of the toxic players, you're sacrificing the retention of your larger audience

"Studios don’t want to address toxicity against their employees because they see it as confronting the dark sides of their community, which they believe is a core demographic." Yep, pretty much. Even in the face of quantifiable evidence to the contrary.

This is what happened to me. Employers across the board need to be aware of how harassment campaigns work and do better to protect their employees from them. These people should not have a platform to profit off of harassment.

for this story because I feel insane that I’m the only one that still thinking about this firing. A good reminder why I did not buy this game. Even though I felt like the only one abstaining from a product made by a company that wanted to protect a fascist.

I (and everyone else!) am tired of seeing creators lose their jobs and of wading through a sea of negativity because a movie has a gay character or a video game heroine's tits are on the smaller side. It's stupid and wasteful and rotten and has to stop.
