'Experts In Virtual Reality' nDreams Restructures With 120 Remaining At Elevation A statement issued by nDreams paints a bleak picture for a studio positioned to develop in a very different VR market.

From 250 staff at nDreams in 2023 as "the world’s biggest VR game developer and publisher" to 120 after this restructure.

Wincing here for multiple reasons.

1.) 120 might still make nDreams the largest VR game developer and publisher in the world.

2.) That’s still probably 5x or more the studio size that even the highest selling VR games could support right now. Many VR teams are still less than 5.

Resolution, PPD, and PPI aren’t the same things, but I’d be lying through my teeth if I didn’t acknowledge that how they’re different is very fuzzy for me

I just filed an article to Upload analyzing the headset numbers on the latest Steam hardware survey and why we all need to ignore it this month.

Short answer: Chinese New Year.

Nothing to see here. Stop writing your latest “(PC)VR is dead” article. Check back next month. 😊

The system ISN’T broken. It’s working as indented. Protect and empower the rich and powerful to do whatever they want at the expense of those with less or no money and agency.

Crime isn’t crime when you have this much money and power, it’s just cost of doing business

The real scary part for me is how conspiracy WASN’T needed. Is there conspiracy in TRUMP-Epstein Files? Of course there is. But if you pull back the parts that are conspiracy, EVERYTHING else isn’t a Deep State or Lizard People, it’s our “Systems” working as they should

You mean something “shiny” that’s meant to distract us from the fact that President “Bone Spurs” is mentioned HEAVILY in the Epstein files?

But who cares if a lot innocent men, women, and children and service men and women pay the ultimate sacrifice if it distracts from what he did to children 👀

There’s a new game on Steam that lets you build and manage your own actual data center.

Honestly, it’s kind of genius. It takes something pretty complex and makes it way more approachable and fun while lowkey teaching people about infrastructure and emerging tech at the same time.

The MOST Fun I've had in VR PVP! - Table Troopers YouTube video by Matteo311

I've previously discussed Table Troopers and it's honestly some of the most FUN, 0 stress PVP I've played in years. It's the classic Worms Style combat with physics based destruction, just the right amount of RNG and strategy plus it's only $6.99
