The year is 2035. There are three game studios left. Each one produces a game every 10 years, killing 250+ developers in the process. They all accidentally make the same game because they used genAI in preproduction. They sell 500 million units each, missing quarterly targets. Everyone is laid off.

It's that time of the year again

"...the team was given metal coins to commemorate the game’s ongoing development, which included text of a quote from the game, 'The suffering of generations must be endured to achieve our divine end.'"

The Steam Winter Sale is live so we rounded up the best and biggest discounts on 2025 games! Good luck to your wallets: gameinformer.com/round-up/202...

Have a nice week and half vacation coming up. Thinking of what games I didnt play this year I should try out, but what if I just replayed Control again

It felt important for us to see this for ourselves; to make a physical connection between Microsoft and the genocide it's helped enable in Gaza. The data may be hidden from view, but it's significantly more difficult to hide the infrastructure itself.

I recently traveled to Middenmeer in North Holland to visit a data centre belonging to Microsoft. These buildings, we now know thanks to reporting from the Guardian, +972 magazine and Local Call, were used by the IDF to store **hundreds of millions** of phone calls made by the people of Palestine.

Zenless has some of my favorite character designs in one of these types of games. But then I look online and they apparently are bad or whatever. Anyway the robot lion man is cool so I got him

New from me at Kotaku. Kick is hinting at a partnership with Xbox, and there is now an app for the streaming service on the console. kotaku.com/xbox-kick-ap...

‼️BREAKING: Our discharge petition has enough signatures. Speaker Johnson is now FORCED to bring a vote to the House floor to extend ACA tax credits. This can’t wait. Call your Member of Congress. We must vote NOW to protect healthcare.

Look forward to seeing the ghoul again in 2035 I guess

BREAKING on MS NOW: Jack Smith, in his opening statement to House Judiciary, says: "Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and to prevent the lawful transfer of power."

LUHAN: Is the FCC an independent agency? CARR: I think th--- L: Yes or no C: There's a test for this in the la--- L: It's yes or no, Brendan! On your website, it simply says, man, 'the FCC is independent.' This isn't a trick question C: The FCC is not L: So is your website lying? C: Possibly

Trump ran on a promise that ICE would go after the “worst" criminals. But the real crime is in oligarchs taking $170b from your healthcare and food assistance to form a secret police force. Our country has defeated fascism before and it is time we fight to uphold our legacy.

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...

Latest from me at The Guardian! Chatting with @videogameworkers.bsky.social at their protest outside The Game Awards. ✊

For months, we've sought details about the shadowy deal the Trump Admin made with the Salvadoran govt to imprison people in the notorious CECOT prison — where they faced torture & other human rights abuses. Yesterday, I got the official who signed the deal to publicly admit it for the first time.

prediction markets like polymarket and kalshi are the sports betting craze taken to its furthest logical endpoint. users can gamble on anything: netflix/WB, the US bombing venezuelan ships, and of course, the game awards, which have seen nearly $40 million in activity. it’s as grim as it sounds

Magaziner: “How many United States military veterans have you deported?” Noem: “Sir, we have not deported US citizens or military veterans.” Magaziner: “Sae Joon Park is a U.S. Army combat veteran who was shot twice while serving our country…Can you please tell Mr. Park why you deported him?”

"Kirby Air Riders is not deep; it's candy. Good thing I like candy." Read our full review of the Switch 2's new sugar rush of a racer:

Justice Jackson nails it, but that this has to be spelled out is so depressing.

no idea

Hi! Now six months into the Switch 2 generation, I'm looking to speak to developers – from indie to AAA – about whether or not they have dev kits for the console and what developing (or not) is like for it. Can be anonymous, if wanted! RTs appreciated🙂

The workers at my local Starbucks are on strike, asking for more staffing, better pay, and better benefits. However, it's expensive to be on strike. If you've got some change, you could help them out a bit here, as they're pretty far off their goal right now: www.gofundme.com/f/support-39...
