No Tim, valve saying you have to disclose if your game was made with AI is NOT political. However you laying off half your staff when YOU have the most successful game in the world is

IGN@ign.com

Epic Games boss Tim Sweeney doubled down on his severe criticism of Valve, calling Steam’s AI content disclosure a “political act.” https://bit.ly/4jHenJg

Let this be a reminder I would like to studios thrive if that means them getting sold off or them going independent. Happy to hear that Arkane might see another light of day 

Jason Schreier@jasonschreier.bsky.social

Let me share some positive news for a change: Despite all the gloomy headlines today, my understanding is that there are multiple paths actively being explored that would save Arkane Lyon. Anything can happen during negotiations, but at this point I'd be surprised if the studio is shut down.

To the people of Maxis Games, the people who make Sims and currently Sims 4 please disassociate from EA now immediately, and get your ducks in a row so you can be sold or independent

I have yet to play the most recent dragon age but this studio should've been given another chance but looking at everything now it seems like the studio in the eyes of the executives have been given every chance. This is not me defending EA cause fuck this

This is disappointing to see. As far as the Devs go making these games. I wish nothing but the absolute best for them cause they have made the worlds we enjoy for 30 years and I would hope to see there work/ideas somewhere else or on their own independent ventures similar to the Expedition 33 team

I blame all the top Executives at EA for being the corporate greedy people that they are. Shutting down studios for what's most likely gonna be a tax write-off. The Saudi Arabia deal should've never happened but yet here we are.

I'll get this off in case it does happen, but I'm not wishing it on the game for various reasons. If GTA VI is the next cyberpunk (launch-wise), I don't want to hear anybody trying to give the game a pass because they've waited so long for it. Y’all wouldn’t do this for any other game company.

1. The game should not be 80$ based on the content of the game. Games should be priced reasonably based on the gameplay that they decide to show 2. There is no disc, so if the Xbox or PlayStation servers were to go offline, you're done 3. No other company would be able to get away with this much
