We're heating up a new Omegaverse collection and want your input! Help us choose which colors to make: Navy, Burgundy, Light Blue, or something else? Which would you (or the Alpha/Beta/Omega in your life) want to wear? 👀

PSA for people with epilepsy or have sensitive eyes in the new typing game in ffxiv!!! there is a mechanic in wave 3 final boss where the words are blurred in intervals and makes the edges of the screen + the word boxes go static in intervals. This is unavoidable. Pls be aware for your safety!

i used to look forward to my seasonal steam nextfest review series, but almost everyhing i see is either ai slop or vibecoded slop, which sucks cause i like giving devs actual feedback/looking at their games and now it just feels hopeless. ugh

it cannot actually be ignored or danced around that the closure of BioWare came so soon after the Saudi and Jared Kushner acquisition of EA. they absolutely did take the studio making EA’s broadly queerest games out back and shoot it old yeller style. do not let yourself or colleagues ignore that

BioWare, which was once hundreds of employees across three offices, had around 50 staff remaining when EA closed the studio this morning. EA gutted BioWare after the release of Dragon Age: The Veilguard last year, as we reported then: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Electronic Arts Slashes BioWare After ‘Dragon Age’ Sales Miss

The studio has shrunk to less than 100 people following the release of Dragon Age: The Veilguard

you can't judge when bioware was really killed because the mismanagement at the higher level under EA has been so constant and pervasive since the acquisition at every stage that every game shipped at all was a herculean miracle

there's a bitter irony here: the 'fan protest' around the original ending of Mass Effect 3 was a blueprint for where we are now. Weaponization of consumer-uber-alles mindset, online brigading, etc.
