on this point in particular: egs sales are so bad it's common for devs to share and compare out of disbelief, and often what you find is quite popular games are selling only in the double or triple digits of copies last i checked, my game had sold (drum roll please) five

did a blog post of my Thoughts on the Actual State of Unreal in 2026, how it has come to this, etc etc. i've been an unreal user since 2008, and this is the worst the vibes have ever been. is there hope? perhaps www.joewintergreen.com/absolute-sta...

BREAKING: Electronic Arts is cutting 400 jobs and shutting down BioWare, the legendary development studio behind Dragon Age and Mass Effect. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Naud reposted

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

Naud reposted

I can't begin to explain how important Bioware has been to my career, and to me as a person. What EA did to Bioware is criminal. It's just criminal. My heart, forever and always, goes to the devs present and past. You created wonders that will be beloved forever, and I'm so, so, so sorry 💔

I get why people talk about UBI, but please remember that your labor is your leverage. Do not accept a world where your labor is "not needed." Without labor as collateral, we don't have the power to demand anything, let alone UBI.

this is the ultimate end point of capitalism, ai will completely atomize everyone and there will be zero shared experiences. there will be no culture, only pure consumption. this must be resisted

AI-generated code has taken over the browser game scene. I really used to look up to some of the people who made them - it took a lot of skill and hard work. Now you can never tell how much work is actually their own.

There was a unique confluence of art, design, and programming skill brought out by little browser games. Like, holy crap, this person is the total package!! Now what? What does a browser game tell you about the person who made it?

foul balls are a huge concern for major league baseball. fans typically keep the ones they catch, and there's not exactly any good reason to buy a ticket to a baseball game if you have your own baseball at home you can look at anytime you want

Chiitan loves transgender people 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Even a plain statement like this now brings slander and insults, but I think a society where people can live happily as themselves matters more than silence, so I will keep saying it until the account is gone. love everyone🤍

Surprise surprise, your first teaser for the next title (a comedy adventure game) from Peripheral Playbox! We've been working on it for a little bit now, and can't wait to start showing more things soon as we enter preproduction.

Today, I decided to dump all my thoughts about A.I. infecting the retro and Saturn scene into one cohesive article. In short, I am certifiably sick of this.

SEGA SATURN, SHIRO!@segasaturnshiro.bsky.social

Is there any harm in using AI to work on — or entirely create — projects for the Sega Saturn and elsewhere in the retro gaming scene? Yes, PandaMonium says in this opinion column, equating such work to digital asbestos: www.segasaturnshiro.com/2026/09/24/c... #sega #saturn #segasaturn #retrogaming

We have achieved Godot 5 internally at the Godot Foundation, but it is too powerful to be released. We need a bajillion dollars. Thanks 💸

microsoft have essentially bought up and bulldozed almost an entire american arts industry as a half-hearted distraction from their main project of trying to monopolise and rent-seek global digital infrastructure and military contracts

i've started to learn blender and i gotta say, it's resulted in some really boring anecdotes. to take one example, yesterday i intended to keyframe-shift an object to 15.5 on the z-axis, but mistakenly entered 15.5 on the y-axis instead! thankfully i realized and corrected my mistake some time later

this was the awards show equivalent to “I want shorter games with worse graphics made by people who are paid more to work less and I'm not kidding" and it dying because there weren’t enough creative people followed by an ominous speech by one of the greats should be a canary in a coal mine situation

Multiple sources feel that doing good work within Xbox Game Studios and delivering success will not save you at Microsoft, because Microsoft simply does not understand how to save itself.
