I think the awards are much easier to counteract (ie. DICE Awards, The Game Awards, BAFTAs, gamescom awards, countless national awards, etc. etc.) and that there is a value to a larger peer award like GDC/IGF, even with all of its anglophone/Western-leaning biases.
Yeah, nah, GDC pays nothing and locks the majority of talks in the Vault behind an E-ticket
The US military is a cowardly, pompuous, and evil force.
Because if it was 5 smaller events, you'd likely also have access to the talks that GDC locks in a Vault behind a thousand dollar digital ticket, for talks where the speakers aren't paid or reimbursed.
Listen, I think the games industry would be much better off if GDC stopped existing, except for the awards. Don getting the Lifetime Achievement award is 100% correct, & the Ambassador Award will forever feel more meaningful now I'll be sharing it with Rebecca

Pokopia is very good wtf
Hello everyone. I come with the sad news that as you are no doubt already aware, we're saying goodbye to several of our friends and colleagues here at Eurogamer. Leaving us are Tom Orry, our editorial director; our video team of Ian Higton, Zoe Delahunty-Light, and Alix Attenborough; Alex Donaldson, our editor-at-large; and Will Judd, who worked across Digital Foundry, hardware and deals. I'll start with Tom, who over the past year-plus had made himself a hugely valuable source of advice, expertise, desert-dry humour and world class poker faces (I think we just about made him laugh once, for a moment, on his final day). Tom initially began the role when Tom Phillips was our editor-in-chief here, mostly working away diligently in the background in a two-Tom-tandem doing editorial director things, before taking on a more prominent role on the site itself over the past 11 or 12 months, gracing us with some signature console nostalgia and unjustifiably intense Project Gotham Racing enthusiasm. Tom, Dom, Alex and I, along with the rest of the team, worked together closely on what a 'new Eurogamer' might look like last year, and his experience in running multiple games media sites was consistently our rock to lean on. While he may have initially seemed an outsider of sorts compared to Eurogamer chiefs of old - at least to some on the surface, coming from his 20-plus years across our sister sites VG247 and USGamer, and before that the cult-favourite site he founded in our once-rival VideoGamer - I can't stress enough how much Tom 'got' Eurogamer. His goal was for us to be at the heart of the big stories that mattered most to our readers with original, diligent reporting and on-the-button commentary, and that will absolutely continue. In immaculately on-brand, limelight-dodging Orry style, Tom opted to sneak his farewell into this past weekend's What We've Been Playing column, but I'll be damned if he gets away with it that easily. Sorry Tom. Here's what he had to say…
From myself and the whole team at @eurogamer.bsky.social, a very fond farewell and huge thank you to our friends and colleagues (thread).💙
You pitch what you can get funded, and they made what they could get funded before. But yeah, probably!
Hah I'd already bought it before I saw this post, so sad to see I missed the Normandy! Hopefully again in the future :)
Tonight, Painted Kingdoms made its debut at Les Pégases ✨
The demo is live on Steam right now, free to play.

We'd love to know what you think 🔥
Left can't resist being on wrong side of a war Whether it's Jeremy Corbyn or Zack Polanski, their foreign policy stances terrify voters outside core supporters
Well, here’s the thing about being antiwar as an ethical belief: it means you end up opposing most wars. Almost all of them, in fact. This is quite common in people who have consistent beliefs but looks insane to people who have none, or mostly just believe superior people should make the decisions.
The job of a critic is to critique. I believe you should do your job as you see fit, same we do ours - there's a million factors that go into what is 'fair game' and what is not, and I think where that line is is somewhat personal. If something is out of bounds, we'll critique the critique.
so AI is bad for countless reasons but I personally was not yet aware that "draft a man into a fictional conflict and stage a mass shooting" was one of those

what the FUCK?? holy shit! this is so extensive!!!
the absolute amount of features already is crazy!!
oh HELL yes
That's very fair! The game doesn't take place in Australia - it's at the bottom of the former Atlantic Ocean (which has been evaporated). The original trailer mentions that, but the current version of the Steam page does not surface that at all. I'll get it fixed!
I am actually really curious what gives you that idea, because that's absolutely not what it is. Would you be willing to expand on that?
This is from one of the former Infinity Ward/Call of Duty co-founders:
Based on what I’ve played, Australia Did It is super good. You can read my hands-on preview in the newest issue of Game Informer. Can’t wait to play more!
Continue to be so happy with the response to Australia Did It. ~90% positive reviews from Steam Next Fest, listed in quite a few "best Steam Next Fest Demos" lists, and just really good vibes all throughout. Really happy people are getting the Tower Defense-y vibes.

I appreciate you taking the time to communicate what I feel is very obvious and common use of English to people being very antagonistic about what feels like an intentionally antagonistic reading, Natalie. Sorry about all this!
I respond in kind, always. Short, somewhat antagonistic, you'll get the same. I don't owe anyone decorum, and if you don't like that, just set me to mute or block.
I just felt @ramiismail.com whisper in my ear… you see that? You see THAT?
A US court ruled against Google in the case back in 2023, and the remedies announced in 2024 threatened to upend Google’s Play Store model. It tried unsuccessfully to have the verdict reversed, but then Epic came to the rescue. In late 2025, the companies announced a settlement that skipped many of the court’s orders. Epic leadership professed interest in leveling the playing field for all developers on Android’s platform. But US District Judge James Donato expressed skepticism of the settlement in January, noting that it may be a “sweetheart deal” that benefitted Epic more than other developers. The specifics of the arrangement were not fully disclosed, but it included lower Play Store fees, cross-licensing, attorneys fees, and other partnership offers.
one of those classic reminders that when a big company says their lawsuit is for the people: it isn't

I want everyone to have options to make anything but a multiplayer game at that scale, yes
Correct
There's conditions for funding, always.
