This should not be allowed to happen. Epic's true final goal is keep producing more value relative to an ever shrinking labor force. Them paving the way "forward" might end up causing the industry's demise (but not hamper its ability to make a profit for those who still stand to gain).

NEW: Epic Games has delayed its upcoming (not yet announced) Star Wars + Marvel shooter as it pivots to complete AI game development. "No more hand-written code," a director told staff. All art "generated with full AI workflows." Full scoop: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

It's possible to create a self-sustaining industry that nurtures the workers who create the value in the first place, but developments like this going unchecked is surefire way to ensure that the landscape of game development will never return to a sustainable place again.

Cyclops was a super fun one to work on! The sound, music and voice work are all fantastic 🙏

Inspired by Avengers vs. X-Men, Cyclops channels the Phoenix Force to become a threat unlike any other. Build Solar Shards, enter Phoenix form, balance extraordinary power against a path to destruction. Embrace the power of the Phoenix when Cyclops arrives on November 2nd! youtu.be/3y9_kwKo3Fs

I think “why are devs all drawing inspiration from other games” is the wrong question. I think better questions are “Why can’t devs get funding for new ideas” and “why are devs struggling to get the word out about their new ideas”

Today marks the release of #MARVELTōkon! This time, I contributed as Mix Supervisor (and helped out with some ambient sound as well). Working on a fighting game was a career first for me, but I learned a lot collaborating with the wonderful audio team at Arc System Works! Now, back to practicing...

More specifically, I wanted to highlight the amazing sound design, music, dialogue and programming work that the Arc System Works team did on this project! Shout outs to Norichika-san, Kanno-san, Matsuda-san, and Takano-san for making this game sound amazing in the first place. 🫡

See you tonight!! 🎛️🎚️💻🎮🎧

More & more of our culture now exists only in digital form … but libraries can’t preserve what they don’t own. As books 📚, music 🎵, film 🎞️, and news 📰 shift from ownership to licensing, long-term access is becoming harder to guarantee. 🔗 www.currentaffairs.org/news/who-wil... 🧵⬇️

I spent the last few months talking to over 30 game developers about generative AI. It began as a sort of interview survey but became a pretty comprehensive collection of arguments against the technology altogether. www.gamesradar.com/games/why-so...

I know Calvin’s dad is already having a moment, but every terrible “outsource precious and fleeting moments with your children to tech so that you can spend more time on your work” pitch makes me think of that one strip I never really cared about as a kid, but care a lot about as an adult.

Perplexity’s CEO is just the latest tech leader to tell the public their jobs will be sacrificed on the altar of the glorious AI future. It’s a compelling narrative, but it distracts us from the real impact of AI: not to take the human out of the loop, but to take away their power and cut their pay

disconnect.blogSacrifice your job for the glorious AI futureHow tech CEOs use the threat of job loss to distract from how AI is really used against workers

If you are saddened by the staggering amount of layoffs in the games industry right now, and you are still willingly using generative AI for your own benefit, I strongly implore you to consider the correlations between the two.
