Urrrgh. The game is pig shite, but my review offered sympathy for the devs who clearly had to fire out a brand new licensed football game from scratch in record time. Netflix said it would "evolve over time", which read like "we'll fix it". Seems unlikely now. Hope the staff find somewhere soon.

The "entire studio" behind FIFA’s official Netflix-exclusive World Cup game has reportedly been laid off. Former Refactor Games staff claim funding was pulled following the release of the game. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/the-ent...

So bored of trying to find good chill / lofi remakes of video game soundtracks to listen to while writing, and YouTube keeps throwing AI shite at me from channels with a million churned out videos and links to buy their AI-generated albums. This shit needs to be clearly declared. I don't want it.

I wasn't aware of Bleszinski's troubles but I'm glad to hear he's sober now and on the path to recovery. I've been teetotal all my life so I can't relate directly to what he's been through, but I've seen how it affects others and how difficult it can be to get out of the cycle. ❤️

I'm sure Sony will have assumed players would get over this, but as someone who's seen almost every Celtic tweet for the past two years full of replies saying "sack the board" and "sign new players", it may soon realise that not everything blows over quickly when you're on top

An indie developer was disappointed to find their PS5 game's trailer flooded with anti-Sony comments over its decision to stop making discs. Teeto's trailer is one of many on the PlayStation YouTube channel getting downvotes and angry comments. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/indie-d...
