can't even enjoy the irony of EA itself being swallowed in a grand acquisition by larger forces who do not care about it beyond its ability to be stripped for parts because ultimately the outcome will be the same; more jobs cut, livelihoods ruined, and art thrown onto a fire

'Electronic Arts Set to Close $55 Billion Go-Private Deal Next Week' "As of July 30, 2026, all regulatory approvals required to complete the Merger have been obtained. Electronic Arts currently expects the Merger to close on or about the close of trading on August 4, 2026."

the GTA IV intro is such an all-time classic it's up there with MGS1 and Shadow of the Colossus the cinematography, the music, it's edited so incredibly sharply to immediately set the tone and pull you in the bleakest game they've made, 10/10

I mean, we all joked about comic sans and everything, but what I wouldn't give to see it on a poster these days instead of that fucking dreadful slop font. Would go to war for comic sans, I would run through a wall for times new roman. Impact, I take back everything I said about you.

Reminder for everyone - the CEO of ModRetro is Palmer Luckey, who is a war profiteer (1), AI weapons manufacturer (2), fascist surveillance state supporter (3), genocide enthusiast (4), and pedophilia supporter (5). Supporting ModRetro means you're supporting fascism. Sorry, that's just the truth.

Too many people in this space ultimately only care about their ability to play games. Their entire ideology is based on the premise that games are some right accorded to them. When that's your most core belief, nothing serious can be built on top of it.

I’ve seen peers completely ignore BDS while championing the “power of the PlayStation Boycott” in the same breath recently. Frankly, I’ve just so little respect for these people. Why is it a race to be the most unserious person imaginable lately?

kind of a half-baked thought here but it's a shame criticism as a paid professional discipline has been sidelined by social media because it could point the way forward out of the internet madness-induced problem of writing that's crouched in what the author anticipates a comments section will say

This is the exact kind of "the numbers tell us this where things are going but no one will like or use because your rushing enshitification" move I'd greenlight if I was the CEO who hired the most annoying business analyst in the industry to dictate my multi-billion dollar business strategy.

XBOX Insiders - "Today, we’re starting to test an ad-supported way to stream select games from your library for a limited time, available to XBOX Insiders." Players will have one hour session limits across supported devices and regions. news.xbox.com/en-us/2026/0...

fantastic news, this has the potential for a historical shift in the industry no group of game workers has ever had this much leverage GTA 6 is guaranteed to make astronomical profits, a union that can strike for management to meet their demands could win so big here

As layoff controversy continues, Rockstar union has 'more members than ever before', meaning it could force mandatory recognition www.eurogamer.net/rockstar-dev...
