Valve is doing a great job building a true gaming ecosystem with a unified OS that spans multiple devices. If they lean into retail expansion and ramp up marketing, they could really break out of the niche space they currently occupy in hardware and compete with the big 3.

Está mal que yo lo diga pero este vídeo que hice hace 12 años sobre el ecosistema hardware de STEAM/VALVe, cuando poca gente veía viable tal cosa, ha envejecido bastante bien. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dCc...

¡VALVe anuncia nuevo hardware! Steam Frame: Casco VR store.steampowered.com/sale/steamfr... Steam Machine: Consola store.steampowered.com/sale/steamma... Steam Controller 2: store.steampowered.com/sale/steamco... Esa Steam Machine es preciosa 😍

No no no begs every archivist. You are never going to be able to find anything. Please don’t start using emojis in file names. Who asked for this? What fresh hell is next?

Ojalá más medios especializados en videojuegos señalando, criticando y penalizando juegos que usen IA generativa. Muchos usuarios no tienen ni idea de cuando se usa ese contenido, así que más que nunca la prensa es la que más ruido puede hacer para que las empresas se lo piensen dos veces.

If you’ve enjoyed an indie game please consider leaving a review on Steam. It does massively help and the devs and community teams love to read them. Especially around launch when everyone is knackered, a lovely review is such an energy boost.

Valve being privately owned and not publicly traded is 100% the reason they haven't shat themselves fatally. Every publicly traded company ends up shitting themselves to death to get more and more profit at the expense of existing. Like a tumor.

Whenever you see hateful posts on social media, please remember that about 50% of internet activity is now AI/bots, so it's likely that it isn't even a real person. Don't fall for the crap that's trying to divide us, just ignore (block) and move on.

A company with decades of single-player experience pivoting to multiplayer? Well, it worked for Anthem, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, FBC: Firebreak, Redfall, Marvel's Avengers, and all those PlayStation games

Dos días en el @bcngamefest.bsky.social y me he quedado afónico... pero como siempre el evento me ha recargado de energía. Me he reencontrado con gente maravillosa que quiero muchísimo a la que por desgracia veo muy poco y también he conocido a gente nueva súper interesante. ❤️

Este es un problemón. Los billonarios son nocivos para la economía. Son acumulaciones absurdas de riqueza que empobrecen a la sociedad.

A better world is possible

Do you ever think about the fact that Wikipedia is the last good major website on the internet? You aren't bombarded with ads. It doesn't try to push video on you, and it doesn't redirect you to a scam site.

So "the biggest release we’ve had in our 32-year long history of making great games" is not enough to keep the people who helped building such a success???! This is fucking crazy.

Estoy en el Meet to Match de @bcngamefest.bsky.social. No dudéis en pedirme una reunión si: - Queréis tips para vuestro CV/resume. - Necesitáis ayuda en vuestro proyecto sobre: Game Design, Narrative Design, producción o pitching. Nos vemos en menos de 10 días!! #gamedev

"If you’re on the sidelines you’ve made a choice and must live with it. Their goal is to instill fear, to make you feel helpless, hopeless, to break you down. Don’t let them. Educate yourself. Organize. Speak truth to authority. Because the story’s not written — the pen is in your hand."

This “solo dev” and “only 3 devs” rhetoric is getting truly dangerously out of hand. Investors see this and think “I only have to pay 3 people” and the result is severely overworked and/or underpaid people and a subpar product. We need to stop treating outsourcers and contractors like ghosts.

La gente como loca esperando el 4 de Septiembre para darle a Sliksong mientras yo ardo en deseos de pillar ese día el DLC del Indiana Jones, 'The Order of Giants'.

Using AI for concept art is like: “I want to come up with something no-one has ever seen before, so I’m going to use this machine that can only regurgitate existing stuff after blending it into a lumpy paste.”

It's finally here!! #StarCitizen Patch 4.3. I worked on investigation missions—my favorite type of gameplay—and thanks to the incredible work from my team mates the atmosphere of these new locations is absolutely spot on. I hope you enjoy it! www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCJl...

Esto de hacer tops me parece super difícil, pero bueno, ahí va: "25 videojuegos para conocerme mejor" Juegos que dejaron un gran impacto en mí y que definen bastante bien mis gustos.

This is literally what people do when they're not left scrambling for survival every hour of every day. They build communities, create things, contribute. Wikipedia isn't an anomaly, it is a distillation of human nature itself

I always love when these say “no impact on game xyz.” Uh huh. Reality: 1. Employees are harder to retain 2. New hires are harder to find (especially good ones) 3. Morale craters for god knows how long 4. Endless layoff gossip in the future Tell me again how that doesn’t impact development.

We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers. The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.

This is exactly what the internet is for.

I'm ashamed to admit I didn't know we had this emotes in the game... 😲 youtu.be/aF49o7n1ka0?...

HEY SEVERAL PUBLISHERS, PICK UP ROMERO GAMES' PROJECT AND THE ENTIRE INDUSTRY WILL LIKE YOU. MAYBE SOME YOUTUBER WILL MAKE A DOCUMENTARY ABOUT HOW YOU SAVED ONE OF HIS FAVORITE STUDIOS. JUST SAYING.

Just absolutely staggering. If even Brenda and John aren't safe from this brutal capitalist recklessness, nobody is. www.thejournal.ie/100-staff-la...

Elon Musk’s Grok AI posted about Musk’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein in first person, as if Grok was Musk. In response to viral exposure, the original Grok post has been deleted and Grok is now falsely claiming screenshots of it are fabricated. This is just one example of why AI is so dangerous

A esto viene Vox. Lo digo por los que tienen prisa por que lleguen.

Let's be 100% clear on this, Microsoft is investing $80 Billion in AI. This is not conjecture or speculation, it is plainly in their own words back in January this year, they gutted a profitable games division because AI is the new shiny bauble. blogs.microsoft.com/on-the-issue...

Bezos reserved and paid for every single private space in Venice. Every hotel room. Every dining space. Every single one. Don’t tell me these motherfuckers can’t pay more in taxes so poor kids can eat and everyone can have health insurance. The decadence is revolting.

Pues el PP os está explicando lo que pasó con la II República cuando perdieron las elecciones del 36: no aceptarlo, deteriorar la convivencia, decir que la convivencia es imposible y, por lo tanto, provocar un millón de muertos con sus matones.

There’s a heartbreaking truth to this. As @charalanahzard.bsky.social says at least 10x a day: publicly traded companies don’t work for developers or players, they work for the markets. And the markets are consistently, objectively and repeatedly stupid.

La gente vota ultraderecha porque quiere recuperar la prosperidad, el orden y la paz de los viejos tiempos. Pero los viejos tiempos de la ultraderecha siempre han sido la pobreza, el caos y la guerra.

Don't trust "AI" and also realize that the push to have "AI" in everything happened because some tech people wanted to get rich and other tech people didn't want others to get rich without them, and now they've all spent too much money on a bad product and are trying to scramble out of the hole.

People outside the games industry don't grasp that this is absolutely unheard of. Workers don't get royalties, and we definitely don't get performance bonuses. When we make a hit game we sometimes just get laid off

Yes. I am right. I am seeing how Chat GPT is ruining students critical thinking and writing skills in real time. It is not the future. It is a tool designed to render the populace helpless, to make people doubt their innate intelligence, and to foster overreliance on technology.

It’s incredibly noticeable how often ‘and an army of outsourcers outside America and Western Europe’ is left out of these team sizes. That’s the part I find real uncomfortable.
