"After months of fighting to have our voices heard, this is a moment to celebrate. The judgment shows that even against a company with Rockstar’s resources, workers can stand together and demand accountability." We won't back down in our fight for justice. Every game worker deserves a union. ✊

And I'm not the first to point this out, but it's everywhere! AAA game studios are being defunded by their corporate overlords (see: MS), mid-budget indies struggle to find any financing (see: this, Dontnod, etc), and garage game devs struggle just to get noticed (too many to mention).

I don't think the average "gamer" really understands just how dire it is yet. Like, games are still coming out and things still feel 'normal' if all you do is browse Steam, but the industry is very much hemorrhaging amazing people at an unsustainable rate and you *will* feel it in time.

For all its clunkiness, wizards is really important to me. Throughout the film everyone is like "don't worry, avatar will use his magic to make the fascism go away!" And then the movie says nah. Sorry. Fascism has to be killed. It will be brutish and ugly but it must be done.

Imagine owning Double Fine and even *considering* closing it. The history of Double Fine is the history of the games industry itself. This is a crime.

this is real fuckin fucked up man

The Mermaid Mask - our new mystery detective adventure game (and the follow-up to 2019's Tangle Tower) launches July 16 for PC, PS5, Switch and Switch 2

i will never stop thinking about "miyamoto went and used horrible graphics"

what the fuck

In Mario Party, minigame descriptions treat being eliminated merely as being out of the game, except for Bumper Balls, which drastically shifts the tone by stating the winner is the last one left alive. This implies that while other minigames might be for fun, Bumper Balls is to the death.

5 tongue-in-cheek game writing exercises that are a more realistic representation of what most game writers do (in my experience) than a branching dialog tree:

I don't know what everyone's complaining about. Just go to settings > features > worms, then change the "worms pouring out of my phone" toggle from "yes" to "maybe later"

🏴🚩 Licenciements, liquidations, entraves… : appel national à la grève dans le jeu vidéo Notre industrie est au bord du gouffre, et subit sa pire crise sociale depuis plus de 20 ans. Le STJV appelle à une journée de grève mercredi 27 mai. www.stjv.fr/2026/05/...

Game developers: Tag yourself

When playing Donkey Kong Country Returns, you may notice that Donkey Kong never clips through platforms even when he logically should. The secret is that Donkey Kong does not actually exist on the same plane of reality as the rest of the game, and is merely superimposed on top of it.

PLEASE INSERT DISC - our upcoming Y2K era horror game about troubleshooting your 'Neptune II' game console and waking something in the process - just got a brand new gameplay trailer today during the @sixoneindie.com showcase! 🔱Wishlist Now: store.steampowered.com/app/2855360/...

🔵Annulation de Spellcasters et plan de licenciement à Quantic Dream : qui aurait pu prédire ? La direction de Quantic Dream a annoncé l’arrêt brutal du développement de Spellcasters Chronicles, et un plan de "restructuration" menaçant 95 emplois en France.

in a time where the gaming press needs friends and defenders more than ever I cannot imagine the sheer level of dipshit arrogance necessary to commit blatant journalistic malpractice like this. what the fuck is wrong with you, genuinely.

People are just insane now of days

The fact of the matter is that at this point they're totally screwed. Best case scenario is it makes enough for their investors to not flay them and still go 'let's never do that again'

All this over... Mixtape? aftermath.site/mixtape-review...

The Slay the Spire 2 controversy is honestly funny. I can’t think of anything that proves how transparently immature the anti SJW grift is than people being forced to act as if a game they’ve been enjoying for months is now suddenly unplayable woke trash solely because Anita’s name is in the credits

this is the best, most succinct encapsulation of the game grifter sphere i’ve ever read

i enjoy the features of this controller and id like to get my own one day however in the meantime itll be really funny to say “they’re charging 100 dollars for a controller that screams in pain”

everything is a UI problem, except memory allocation, which is witchcraft
