Netflix wins bidding war for Warner Bros, will enter negotiations for final deal ➡️ www.thewrap.com/netflix-wins...

Yeah. I wonder what new user acquisition even looks like for them in this deal.

If as a developer/publisher you want to buy into AI gen for development, alright -- but if the result of using it is just your game feeling like you took a bunch of really shitty shortcuts, it can only hurt you and clearly isn't the future you think it is

'im gonna spend billions on the next big thing', says guy who was wrong about last four big things

We’ve put out some great books but I honestly think this is up there with our very best already

LinkedIn recruiters stay being weird, huh.

'We survive or fail on our own terms:' The rise and risk of independent game media

This is just getting ridiculous. Affordable personal computing is looking to become even more challenging. RAM - for the longest time - was one of the more price relaxed categories of a PC purchase. Not anymore for the foreseeable future. I have no idea how the world keeps on this trajectory.

I'm incredibly excited (and nervous) to announce my own newsletter. An Evening at the Inn is an RPG-focused bi-weekly newsletter with original reporting and writing from me, a curation of the best writing on RPGs, and more. an-evening-at-the-inn.ghost.io/welcome-to-t...

Come help us write articles for the internet made by humans https://kotaku.com/kotaku-is-looking-for-freelance-contributors-2000650081

Yeah, you could just replace the word "indie" with video games. There's a particular crowd wallowing in nostalgia pretending like Death Stranding 2, Outer Worlds 2, Dying Light: The Beast, Doom DA, BF6, Arc Raiders, AC Shadows, DK Bonanza, Ninja Gaiden 4, and Silent Hill F didn't come out this year.

I appreciate how many people out here are trying to point the spotlight! Even if a site only covers indies and has a dedicated following, it can feel like shouting into the void. If anyone is interested, here is The Indie Informer's 2025 wrap-up: the-indie-in-former.com/2025/12/01/t...

Ubisoft's Splinter Cell remake has landed itself a new game director, and it's a name you may recognise. https://bit.ly/3XuODmY

It’s wild how there’s several different videos of several different establishment democrats giving public talks where they say “it’s a shame young people can see videos of war crimes online because they’re missing the context behind the war crimes”

Inverse's Top 25 games of the year is up - chosen by me, Trone, Robin, and Shannon. A lot more that could have gone on here, but I think we've got a really great, and diverse, list of games www.inverse.com/gaming/25-be...

The saga continues.

It's Giving Tuesday at the VGHF! We've had an incredible 2025, but we need your help to make sure we can continue doing our charitable work in 2026 and beyond. We just launched our annual Winter Fundraiser campaign, please give if you're able (and share this post!). http://gamehistory.org/donate

Wild that this story got updated in this way. (thanks to @vgbees.com for pointing it out) If I made a video about this and then found out after the fact that the developer knew so far ahead of time I would certainly have a lot of questions for them. www.gamesindustry.biz/gog-backs-ho...

once more: u gotta question whether or not any given thing u see about games is actually just marketing. especially journalism.

Something something high horses.

today is a GREAT day to subscribe to some reliable independent media! clean up your information streams by getting your news from journalists instead of second-hand on social media!

I think it could be really important to remind people what actual tech disruption looks like. When iPhone launched it was $500 dollars, an obscene price for a phone at the time and consumers still made a case for its existence. Apple didn’t have to whine about adoption rate. Proof was in the product

Been really cool to see how good Bellular News and @bellular.bsky.social has gotten over the last couple years. Incase you missed here's their latest on the Krafton v Unknown Worlds (Subnautica 2) situation. youtu.be/e72QBcwIjEc?...

Let me give some insight on this, as a producer in the dub industry who worked with major streamers, who's witnessed first-hand where this push for AI is coming from. tl;dr: Only CEOs want this. Tell them how much you hate it. Be loud, email, call, @, post. You will kill this. 🧵⬇️

ok i can finally start FREAKING OUT OVER MY NEW OBSESSION

Nintendo is acquiring shares of Bandai Namco Studios Singapore Pte. Ltd. for the purpose of strengthening its development structure BNSS will become a subsidiary of Nintendo and will continue its development operations under the new name Nintendo Studios Singapore Pte. Ltd. LINK

Closest thing you'll see from me maybe ever to a personal essay about a video game vgbees.com/im-great-at-...

Put that term right next to AAAA

Yeah, nearly $1000 is starting to seem more likely everyday. If it goes that way I think $800+ is just gonna be the wrong price point for something like this. 8GB of vram just seems so low for that buy in on top of the state of everything is more expensive and tons of people out of work etc.

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.

Haha, yep. One might even make the case that allowing a handful of billionaires to dictate the market by brute forcing the appeal of a largely unproven and inefficient technology is also a bad thing.

EXCLUSIVE: So far it's been unclear what proof Rockstar Games has to justify its firing of 34 union members, who it claims were leaking "confidential information in a public forum". PMG has now seen some of the messages which contributed to this decision being made. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TvW...

Sure wish there was a website where I could go and just read about cool video games all day - and not just the ones everyones already talking about. Who has got the goods? Look at these man...

With just a little more work, I can cross the finish line for the month and pay all necessary bills and rent! Can I help you make closed captions for an upcoming or pre-existing video? I have a page on the process here, including a form to fill out so I can help you with your project!

1) good, they should be prosecuted, they are responsible for countless deaths 2) always very funny when these people realize the extent to which their billionaire patrons could not possibly give less of a shit about them

Film School made me realize video games are way cooler. Tried to MFA in Game Design. Program and admittance was was a fraud. Ended up freelancing at GameTrailers. Great rapport...corpos sold it. Ended up FT at Yahoo Esports. Great content...corpos killed it. Landed at RT/Inside Gaming...corpos...

Saw the trailer for this the other night and it looks so sick.

There's a lot to say about the Roblox CEO interview, and the right place to start is definitely his answers on children's safety, because that's kind of the fire that is hottest and closest. However, I have to also say, the polymarket stuff is real 'summation of our neoliberal dumpster fire' shit.

This game looks really cool!
