We're proud to share that in a few weeks' time, Rockstar staff will get to have their own say over union recognition. From pay and pensions to parental leave and overtime, this recognition agreement is a chance for workers to be involved in the decisions that shape their lives.
Mass Effect was my ultimate white whale, my all-time dream project. For the last couple years I'd been in discussion w/ BioWare & EA to take on the project & as part of that I wrote close to 20 minutes of music to explore where the franchise can go next, may as well share it!
Machado!??!!? Liberals are fucking wild sometimes when it comes to who they think holding power is good for the people. Yeah, the lady who is basically a pawn for America is going to be a beacon of hope in Venezuela, GTFO

MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com · 3d agoBrazil rejected Bolsonaro. Serbia's students beat Vučić. Machado is home in Venezuela. What a day for democracy.
Between Serbia & Brazil, it's great to see left-populist movements winning in the face of rising fascism around the world.
Lula has been reelected president, Brazilian media has now called. An extraordinary comeback for the left-wing politician who trailed by 2 points in round 1 but managed to hold off Flávio Bolsonaro, the former president's son.
Finally got my name called in The Finals :D #ReachTheFinals
BC is about to elect a far right government due to the spineless antics of neoliberals. Calling an election no one wanted while governing from the centre right as a so called soc dem political party
There's a reason almost all mainstream media is ignoring this
BladeoftheSun@bladeofthes.bsky.social · 6d agoThe protests have spread to Serbia. That is Spain France Italy Albania Greece Turkey India Indonesia all protesting at the same time. It's time to force the billionaires out of power.
It’s important to realize that we, the players, are no longer the customers of video game companies. We’re just a source of money. The real customers are the investors, and no matter what, the companies need to keep them happy and show them that their investments are paying off.
Aftermath@aftermath.site · last wk.Electronic Arts closing BioWare, laying off hundreds: aftermath.site/electronic-art...
Unconfirmed leaked Mass Effect 5 trailer from a burner account on Reddit. Titled "Mass Effect: Universe" it was posted roughly 24-hours after an employee claimed a trailer was ready.
BioWare has always inspired us, and it's hard to say goodbye to our idols. Thank you for everything, BioWare. Many of us wouldn’t be in the games industry without your legacy.
Welp, shut down the studio I guess? /s
Kotaku@kotaku.com · 6d agoA source tells Kotaku that Gears of War: E-Day cost over $500 million to make. Sales estimates have been weak despite earning the highest Metacritic score since the original trilogy.

This is private equity, this is what it does. Buy up businesses, run them into the ground, and rip them apart for short-term profit. www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...
RIP BioWare: EA has shut down the legendary RPG developer
Bloomberg also reports that EA is cutting "around 400 jobs" across the company.

This is one of the few, rare times a studio closure has had an emotional impact on me. I grew up playing Bioware. Put more hours than I can remember into Baldur's Gate, NWN, KOTOR, Jade Empire, Dragon Age, Mass Effect...basically shaped my gaming years. I am dead inside. RIP Bioware 💔
I literally don't have words for the news of EA closing Bioware. Unconscionable, incompetent, soulless decision-making. May everyone involved in these decision suffer Renegade interrupts for the rest of their lives.
We’re temporarily taking GOG offline for maintenance for a couple of hours. GOG GALAXY will also be offline during this time. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience!
Next Fest was already a bit of a pointless exercise for 90% of devs. Now the AI slop has made it entirely pointless for 99% of devs I don’t really know what Valve can do about this, but I think it’s fair to say that we pay them well enough, that it would be nice if they’d bloody do *something*
“Why liberals always end up aligning with fascists” in a single clip.
The Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social · last wk.🤔 James Carville: “I’d rather Republicans keep the house by 5 than Dems win by 5… Because then they’re hostage to DSA, and Hakeem can’t move.” 😬Bill Kristol: “Good point.” So afraid of DSA folks who want M4ALL, etc. they’d rather Republicans hold power. Unreal. True colors.
Kenney hit the infamous "two billionaires with one post" achievement, remains very rare, also shows once again that money does not equal intelligence, capability, or insight: Kenney is obviously right.
Kenney@kenney.nl · last wk.Last I'll post about this, but Elon Musk disagrees with me. This means I am onto something, and I feel more valid in my opinion than ever.
So... How'd the "No Kings" brunch go? I'm sure when everyone returns to work on Monday, it will be really cool how so many people marched and had 0 demands and put 0 pressure on their Government... But at lest some like boomers sang or something?
