Increasingly feeling like marathon will be successful enough to get past its launch, maintain a player base, and convince other studios to keep making failed competitors, but it will somehow still underperform financially for sony and lead to more layoffs, which feels like a worst case scenario.
The creator of ChatGPT is named "Altman," as in "alternative to human" and he leads OpenAl, which is completely closed. His main opponent is the company Anthropic, meaning "human-centered" is led by "Amodei," as in "loves gods". Then there's "Gemini," meaning "two-faced," from a company that said that it will do no evil. Brilliant work as always Kojima!
NEW: Last year, Bluepoint Games pitched a Bloodborne remake. Sony didn't turn it down... but FromSoftware did.

BREAKING: PlayStation is shutting down Bluepoint Games, the studio responsible for modern remakes of classic games such as Demon's Souls and Shadow of the Colossus, Bloomberg News has learned.

Sometimes the threat of losing the userbase is also what could pressure people to improve their services. If there's no pushback, no criticism, and no competition, then naturally services will get more invasive and less functional. Cancelling Nitro is a decent start to send a message at least.
I hope people can become familiar with the concept of not putting all faith into a single service/platform again. It was ten years ago that Skype became inconvenient so people switched from using it. Even further back people manually opted to download and use other browsers than Internet Explorer.
Ah damn I got added to a blocklist calling me a fachist, my bad I won't rejoice about far right subreddits getting banned anymore, I should've known better

This week, Take-Two Interactive shares are down more than 20% despite the company smashing Q3 estimates and reaffirming a November release date for Grand Theft Auto VI.
Why? Because the stock market doesn't understand video game development. My latest column: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

NEW: I spoke to Jonathan Blow about his ambitious new puzzle game and why it took ten years to make. Then, days after the announcement, three designers came out denouncing Blow for his views on Trump (pro), vaccines (anti), and more. Here's the whole messy story: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

One of my favorite aspects of my rig is the real time prop interaction that can be triggered while I'm talking and doing my thing. The goal is to make my stream as seamless and cohesive as possible so it feels like you're watching an animated show #LiveAnimation #Vtuber #Twitch
Take-Two stock is down 4.26% this afternoon because of rumors that GTA6 will be delayed based on a podcast in which I did not say that GTA6 would be delayed

It's the Christmas issue of Famitsu, so that means many Japanese gaming industry folks gave their personal Game of the Year lists. I'll update this thread periodically since there's a lot of them once again.

Its safe to assume that most games will be using it, they just won't mention it on steam because it can't be proven otherwise and it'd only be a net negative at worst if you do mention it
Honestly I agree with Epic on that issue, Steam is being performative with the AI tag, you can't enforce it
This is the part I'm most curious about, if people agree that "AI = boycott" and that AI code should count as "being made with generative AI", then uhh bad news
For reference, here's the SO survey, as of 2025, 84% of devs are using it or planning to

If you’re into metroidbrainias, here’s a rec you probably haven’t heard before: Chronoquartz, a time-loop game in which you make progress by gaining knowledge and solving some very clever puzzles. Takes maybe 5 hours to beat and is well worth the time store.steampowered.com/app/3275880/...
