Disgusting. Let the vultures run a creative industry and they will raze it down to headstones. They'll Squeeze every last penny and then piss on the headstones. Wizard of Oz type shit. Reminder: EA spouse controversy happened in 2004. www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus... #gamenews #gamedev
After laying off Battlefield 6 developers, EA pays its CEO $38 million because Battlefield 6 did so well
That's an $8 million raise over 2025.

They will go down kicking and screaming bloody murder that this will be the end of everything you love. Then when it finally goes through it will be business as usual and they'll either pretend it didn’t happen or that they actually wanted this all along. History repeats so quickly it feels on loop.

I don't want to glaze, but pentiment is so transcendent. I will remember it till the day I die. And I don't need it to have a sequel. It's just really that good. I wish more games were developed like this and less with the AAAA model.

Kaaboose@kaaboose.bsky.social · 6mo agoQuote with a game you like but everyone else hates. Even those that liked the OG Blackguards seem to hate the sequel! Both games have their faults but I remember both clearly and enjoyed them overall. There like 2$ each right now! store.steampowered.com/app/314830/B...
recently learned about “dek bass”, a sound system culture in rural West Bengal, using cassette decks and homemade systems, and it’s remarkable because 1) the music and equipment are sick and 2) the DJ always looks like he’s being briefed on a national security issue
Can't believe GOG is saying this. This is so disingenuous! NO ONE WANTS YOU TO SUPPORT THE GAME FOREVER! JUST GIVE IT AN OFFLINE MODE! COMPANIES ALREADY DO THAT! www.eurogamer.net/gog-weighs-c...

Godot is probably the most fun I’ve ever had in a creative program especially in a programming context. The license of Godot means anybody can use it even if they’re from a sanctioned impoverished nation and won’t ask for a cut while doing it. It’s worth supporting for that reason.
Godot Engine@godotengine.org · 8mo agoThis has been a great year for the engine, but there are still a lot of things we would love to do. If each person visiting our website donated €5, we could hire 5 more developers to work on Godot full-time. 👉 fund.godotengine.org
