The main way in which AI has negatively impacted games industry jobs is not through actual automation of those jobs or even untrue claims about automation. It's by making capital unavailable because it's tied up in AI investments while also destroying the consumer base for video game hardware.

I think if you needed any more evidence that the cuts are shortsighted and focused on cutting as deep and as fast as possible with little regard for the future, this is pretty definitive. That engine felt like magic in some spots. A colossal waste of talent and resources.

like apart from being cruel and tragic it's also just stupid. Destiny 2 is a great game and has been for years. why would you just chuck that in the bin like it was nothing.
god what an unforced disaster to take the team that built and maintained Destiny 2 and just smash it into the rocks instead of investing in whatever that big pile of talent and skill can build next
working in the game industry in any capacity since 2020 means that, for the last four years of your life, you have been witness and/or subject to indignity after indignity, knife after knife after knife—in your gut, your heart, your throat

This article is SO fucking funny. "The real problem is there aren't enough 50+ game designers!" Yeah, agreed. Any thoughts on why that might be? Like maybe the fact that this industry fires treats anyone over 35 as "not hungry enough", and relies on burning out a steady stream of younger devs? no?
Mat Piscatella@matpiscatella.bsky.social · 2mo ago"An entire generation has now grown up playing video games and is ageing... where they have time, money, and the desire to keep playing. The first publishers to actually see this player will capture a structural advantage. The rest will arrive 10 years late, exactly like they did with women."
Marathon is free to play this week. It is the best video game I have played this decade. I know people who have never seriously played an FPS who have cleared Compiler multiple times; it really is not as intimidating as it maybe sounds, it just helps a lot to have friends. Join us on Tau Ceti IV!

I’ve spent 11 years archiving and categorizing Destiny lore. So I wrote a blog post about how I feel, and to say thank you to all the people who’ve helped build a world I love. errata.ishtar-collective.net/irrational-h...
