You should take a "Guilty until proven innocent" attitude with all video game publishers. Unless you have conclusive proof otherwise, they are probably ripping off either you, or the developer. But mostly likely both.

Ahahahahaa. Fuck off With this. Fucking landlords.

It's not a subscription service but you can "subscribe to" (buy) Judero today for 40% off! Great way to support indies is to buy their games and you get to play them forever! store.steampowered.com/app/1960900/...

What the hell is this abomination?

Happy Gamer Feet Thursday everybody

not an april fool!! www.ign.com/articles/bab...

This is my trans agenda

Wild Zero (1999) #TDOV

(Knowing I'm about to set off a real fucking bomb with this one) the ability of customers to leave reviews on your games is a net positive for discoverability

Okay for the rest of my life I have a new preferred go-to example of what a DFA is

New video! We're looking at how YouTube linquistically disarms us all in the false name of safety. Social media policies are explicitly designed to protect the worst actors while punishing only those who speak up against them. YouTube is the online predator's best friend. youtu.be/40uR9nV4C9A

More people need to play Anthology Of The Killer. Some of the funniest, most creative writing I've seen in an interactive experience.

Wait wait wait. Running over *weeks*?

at a wedding last night and the groom, who i havent seen for 6 years, says to me "MAN ive seen incels going AT YOU on the internet, and its GREAT MAN, FUCK EM, complaining about gay sex in kingdom come 2, man i have TRIED TO FUCK A GUY, i have put in 200 HOURS and cant find how, WHERE IS IT"

Black Metal Trip Hop is not a genre fusion you'd expect to work but Foghazer's He Left the Temple manages to pull it off not just in a way that's genuinely great, but while also sounding like an actual fusion instead of one or the other with a gimmick. youtu.be/CYnk4V2w9q8

if I were ever to write a followup or expansion to 'A Pivot To Indie Won't Save Us' it would probably center around how much midsized indies benefit from the ability to poach producers, QA and other roles from AAA, roles that indie itself makes zero room for other than preexisting domain experts

i love that i can hit F11 and discord goes into full screen mode from which you can't escape by hitting the window/maximized button in windows because every "software engineer" is a just a complete shame to their ancestors these days

It's wild when I look at Alex discourse and see people finding any of this to be anything more than just "extremely funny"

oh.

just realised we're throwing shells in Mario Kart but in original Mario the shells were what happened when you jumped on a turtle and he pulled his head in but the shells in Kart appear empty so with how industrialized Kart World is, the implication is factory separating of turtles from their shells

I love this, it's important to have warnings against these pitfalls. I've read so many articles that: 1. Feel like a child convincing their parents that games are important 2. Assumes everyone is a middle-class American who grew up with Nintendo 3. "Focus on games" and ignore all material conditions

Yep.

Huh. I guess some of the reason it took so long for the patch to come out is that the System Shock remake is now only handled by a single publisher. 🤔

I didn't mind that Ferris bueller skipped school because i enjoyed the character

It's still fucking outrageous how many people are fine with Atari's conduct around Openttd. That's without even getting to the sick "Actually it's a good and wholesome outcome" individuals

Once AGAIN a literal Castlevania game published by KONAMI is one of the show's headliners, this one isn't even a collab with an existing indie game its just straight up a game from a (now) established studio with a big publisher and IP liiiiiike

This is what DLSS has always been tbh

I think it's weird for people who are nominally journalists to say things like "We should have waited to see what people think." The issue isn't that you lost the coin flip of public opinion; the issue was that you gave into astonishment. The problem is that the keyjingling got you at all!

If you’re writing about how Tunic had a ‘transformative effect’ on you and the article doesn’t conclude with you buying a fursuit or something, what’s that all about.

One of the strangest previews I've ever seen. They keep talking about it as some sort of "lighting technique" and mention AI *once* nine minutes in. If this isn't intentional obfuscation by Digital Foundry what is it? Guys that pour over frame timings suddenly don't know what AI slop looks like?

Deep Sleep: Labyrinth of the Forsaken is now rated Overwhelmingly Positive on Steam! I want to thank everyone who played the game and spared few moments to leave a review on Steam - both for praises and for the constructive criticism! You help others discover my work and help me improve it ❤️

It’s great how every time they make some progress in one direction, the husk of Atari still has to do their thing. This is gross. Fucking over OpenTTD’s Steam distribution: www.openttd.org/news/2026/03...

This is proving to be a popular sentiment, so if you want to play a game that was 100% made by human beings, check out Demonschool. (it is an RPG with puzzle-y tactical battles, so make sure you like that kind of thing first) store.steampowered.com/app/1900250/...

BREAKING: A Delaware judge has ruled that Krafton must *reinstate* Ted Gill, the fired CEO of Subnautica 2 maker Unknown Worlds. In the ruling, the judge accuses Krafton's CEO of using ChatGPT to come up with a strategy to get out of paying Unknown Worlds a $250 million bonus. Story coming shortly

Start small, work your way up. Make sure there's a flared base.

Why are people so weirdly chill about Atari fucking over OpenTTD

Jennifer Garner: Wanted for her crimes against plantkind!

Ah we can finally say that @jfg.land and I had the real priviledge of working on narrative preproduction for several years on @marathonthegame.bungie.net ; it has an incredible narrative team, and a very special game that takes its narrative very seriously, in a fresh way that honors its unique past

Now that IGF and GDC is over I finally got around to writing up my postscript on IGF submissions and some of the issues we ran into in 2025. If you plan to submit your game in 2026 I recommend reading this, tbh. auratriolo.com/blog/2026/03... Here's a little spoiler:

I would suggest this is a more valuable Steam chart, from SteamDB. Releases dramatically grow each year but the number of new games getting more than 500 user reviews does not. steamdb.info/stats/releas...
