If you're part of the BioWare or Sims community and want to talk about how those studios' queer characters and themes have impacted you and your fears for those series moving forward after this sale, I'd love to chat with you for a Kotaku story. Can be reached here or email kshepard@kotaku.com
Kotaku@kotaku.com · 21h agoWell, I guess Electronic Arts belongs to Saudi Arabia, private equity, and Jared Kushner now. https://kotaku.com/electronic-arts-officially-belongs-saudi-arabia-jared-kushner-now-2000721666
EA pals, I am so sorry. Watching what that company has done to you all over the years has been heartbreaking. I am already chatting with a few devs and want to extend that offer to everyone: If you want to talk, I am here. Off record, on record, either way 🤍 www.gamespot.com/articles/ea-...

I think the most depressing part of going to events like Gen Con, as a woman with big honkers and a preference for makeup/feminine apparel, is the way other WOMEN treat you. Sure, 1 in every 20 guys might treat you a bit weird/question why you’re there, but it’s like 1 in 10 for women and that SUCKS
asked my patron if I could hex you and she said it’s fine
🗣️ SOMETIMES YOU GOTTA SHOOT YOUR SHOT. I recorded this in my car and sent it to a voice acting director for an upcoming fantasy RPG. If nothing happens, at least it was a fun exercise 🎤😤 #PutAndyInYourGame #voiceover #voiceacting #indiegame
LORDS OF MUD FOREVER!! But genuinely, playtesting VTM v.6 last night was an absolute blast. Time to add it to my TRRPG night rotation, I think….🕯️

@joyboygenius.bsky.social and I walked in to our showing two minutes into the credits and every single chair was filled but ours. Like, I didn’t even have to ask where we were because it was that obvious. It was the first completely sold out movie we’ve been to in yearsssss
kate bush’s husband@airbagged.bsky.social · 2w agoSo this is exactly what the Sound of Freedom did (projection)
Ubisoft not putting AC: Odyssey on sale was the biggest missed opportunity 😩😩😩
Wearing my flowiest sundress to see The Odyssey so everyone knows I’m there in a “bisexual woman who loves Greek mythology so much she got a pomegranate tattoo” way and not in a “white man who’s favorite film was once The Dark Knight” kind of way
Thanks so much to @jessicogs.bsky.social for greenlighting my first article at GameSpot! I wrote about Meccha Chameleon and how the game embraces the fun of making things in a moment where human creativity is being offloaded to AI nonsense.
Jessica Cogswell 🌸@jessicogs.bsky.social · 3w agoHad the privilege of editing the wonderful @elijahgonzalez.bsky.social for the first time and man, what an absolutely banger of a first piece for GameSpot! Highly highly recommend folks read this one 🎨✨ www.gamespot.com/articles/in-...

In An Era Of AI Slop, Meccha Chameleon Embraces Human-Crafted Chaos
Meccha Chameleon is a charming, wonky creation about making charming, wonky creations. It’s human through and through.

Spent the last few days chatting with queer men in the Love and Deepspace fandom about its homophobia problem, and why some fans are protective of the game to the point of resisting even men who like men taking part in the romance game's community. kotaku.com/love-deepspa...
Love And Deepspace’s Gay Fans Say It Has A Homophobia Problem

The drive to be the best but cursed to forever have a tummy ache
This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.
This is awesome. It's also why i love so many of the #mtg playtest cards. The art is simple and sometimes downright terrible, but it conveys enough idea to get the job done and make a decision!
Jessica Cogswell 🌸@jessicogs.bsky.social · 3w agoLast week I interviewed the wonderful Casey Yano from Mega Crit about Slay the Spire 2’s placeholder art and how it proves these studios need to STOP with the gen AI placeholder nonsense ✨ Had a great time writing this and hope you all enjoy! www.gamespot.com/articles/sla...
There’s too much lore to explain how a great piece like this is emblematic of the guidance Chris Grant brought to the GameSpot team, but as we continue to benefit from his help, it reminds me how unfair it is that he was so coldly sent away.

an issue with how we talk about the games *industry* is that i think we have normalized talking about studios like interchangeable labor pools instead of groups of artists making creative work
