I straight up will not watch Netflix shows anymore unless they come to a planned finale, which has all but stopped happening for new shows. So definitely #2 for me.
I mean, there are two major reasons in my estimation: - The seasonal gaps are too long. - Netflix is probably canceling too many shows after one season, eroding trust. Folks wont jump in if they don't expect a follow-up. www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

60% drop in reviews if people even smell AI on your game - full supports the investors, developers, and publishers that took a hard "no gen-AI" stance, despite grifters' proclamations that they were "going to be left behind".
Someone actually crunched the numbers, and using GenAI can decrease reviews for indie game on Steam (a useful proxy stat for sales) by as much as *58%* 🤖

I’d much prefer we avoid incentivizing staring at the minimap in the year 2026, but this is a cool idea at least.
Prod. Keisuke Nakashima demos chocobo mounts on the world map & a fast travel feature. The game will also feature random encounters, but you'll know a battle will be imminent when the minimap pulses quickly & glows red. More about Final Fantasy Resonance: novacrystallis.com/2026/06/fina... 🎞️SQEX

It's #WishlistWednesday! In #StarSpark you battle your way through a tournament using timed combos and a deck of attack, defense, and support actions. You can check out the monthly wishlist stats in the quoted post and you can wishlist Star Spark on Steam 🙂 🌟 s.team/a/3639950 #GameDev #IndieGame
The #StarSpark Steam page went live 7 months ago and the game now has 608 wishlists, +35 from last month. That's more than April (+12) and March (+16) combined 💪 Marketing during this period was limited to posts on Bluesky, Mastodon, and Discord. #GameDev #IndieGameDev #GameMarketing #Steam 1/5

I've wished for Arab-made games about Arab mythology for so long, and despite assisting on the project I still can't believe there's one swinging for the fences this hard. House of Hikmah is something very needed in a time where the world would rather erase us. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZTu...

This movie is so good—we were literally cheering in the theater when we saw it. First example I can think of of Rotten Tomatoes simply being dead wrong
