We have to impeach him.

Thanks to everyone who's chipped in so far. This is so heartening to see! As a reminder, if we cross $25,000, PMG is going to donate $5000 at the start of January.

If bosses are trying to foist an LLM/gen AI into your gamedev pipelines, what you really need is either: * something fully authored by a human * a state machine * a purpose-built markov chain you'll never need THAT much data to do something procedural or automated. You actually WANT constraints

[extremely boss voice] everyone at the company is more or less ok with this

"save systems should dynamically handle object IDs and automatically populate the serialized data of every object that requires save states, and then for dialogue progression it needs to-" team cherry: WRONG. 1400 hardcoded fields in PlayerData.cs

Before the Game Awards in LA last week, a US video game workers union turned up to protest. "Anyone who works in the games industry can identify that our art form is being sold for parts to make a few people a lot of money." @alyssamerc.bsky.social reports www.theguardian.com/games/2025/d...

"Lay off CEOs instead": Game Awards protesters fed up with the show and the state of the industry aftermath.site/game-awards-...

around 40 game developers affiliated with @videogameworkers.bsky.social have gathered outside the peacock theater, where the game awards will take place in a few hours, for a “the industry is dead” demonstration

One of the many things worth thinking about re: Steam's ban on Horses is how it highlights is the centralization problem caused by having such a monolithic (and maybe mono-something-else) retail giant. Independent studios with even humble commercial aspirations are chained to Valve's whims.

In which i lay out what's going on with Horses up to and including the recent humble ban.

ok they deleted and reposted it for some reason but, reminder: this is a survey of GDC attendees only which self-selects for highly paid, senior devs and management which is to say: this is most likely what a result skewed _against_ unionization looks like right now

More studios SHOULD take risks on making games like these. But until we have a mechanism that forces studios to actively protect their developers from hate campaigns, and address the most toxic parts of their fanbase, I don't think we'll see games like this from major studios very often.

Folks, having a solid crew of comrades you can rely on in real life or virtually is always essential and in the coming years we are all going to need to lean on each other.

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

As a permalancer: if you are EVER verbally offered ANY kind of promise (a raise, a contract extension, full-time employment), IMMEDIATELY ask for it in writing and be low-key relentless about it. As someone who has been strung along too many times: they can't keep getting away with this.

"we need revolutionary stories now more than ever" bitch we need an actual revolution. stories that satisfy our urge for justice create an artificial sense of catharsis that placates us and makes us less likely to seek justice in real life

This is the biggest attack on free speech since the McCarthy era but it also has significantly less popular consensus behind it than the second Red Scare. It's being done on behalf of a minority faction led by the most unpopular president in modern history. Organizing against this can win.
