Unity is trying to make some crap again: according to Mobilegamer and 80lvl, they are pushing for up to $2m annual commitment.

I assume, companies will not like that, and it will finally push big clients towards open solutions. They will find out how integrate SDKs into Godot...

Battlefield 6 got broken after the recent update. The same as it was on release, the game enables hidden Frame Generation, that causes performance issues, mouse movement inconsistency, crashes, and memory leaks.

Technically, Frame Gen looks disabled in the settings, but the game still generates you some frames even if you are already way over 100 FPS. And apparently it's not DLSS or FSR or whatever, it's something different under the hood.

On any hardware!

The whole Steam forum and EA support forum are filled with complaints now. No official response though.

If you are a big fan of Fallout New Vegas, you really should save yourself from the Season 2. It has mind-control chips, the Rob-co boss is actually not a real one, the real one was hiding among people all the time...

If you don't give a damn about New Vegas, it's okay, the execution is fine most of the time.

Yep! Bruce Straley (Co-Director of TLOU) don't believe we should use AI for games.

By the way, he's the good TLOU fella and by his overseeing the games were actually playable.

No, kids, console gaming is equally dead. But in reality it's not what you think it is:

- This Black Friday hardware sales were up to 80% lower than years before. People simply do not want to invest in hardware, since any hardware will not bring you stable FPS.

My GPU price grew $6 during the last four months, despite RAM shortages. Some tried to raise prices, but lost even more — people do not buy that shit.

See below, where they say Fleming is "handing over".
Yup a forced exit.

The studio begins a "new chapter"?
Yeah they're in trouble.

Still free on Epic Store!

Also, Netflix sees no value in a company, capable of selling 40 million copies of a single player game. They only evaluate the movie making department.

WB, unfortunately, also hates that their big hit isn't online. But they gave up and the sequel is in production.

If you still haven't crushed your mental health, go watch Look Back (2024)

Based on the short manga by the creator of Chainsaw Man, this story explores a complicated relationship between two artists.

So, Steam Winter Sale is out, what're you buying?

YouTube finally allowed a human being to reply and it was an "all your fault" response. Laughable...

Before that, the company enabled AI moderation which banned over 12m accounts in a couple of months.

Gearbox ate shit and quit Epic Store deals, Remedy ate shit (but their Alan Wake deal is infinite), Square Enix cried that their sales failed on EGS, and so on.

Exclusive deals on EGS are a dead end. And Lords of the Fallen II is dead on arrival now.

Epic Store market share on PC is about 3-6% (depends on the report), while Steam holds over 70% of transactions and even more in playtime. After 6 years, EGS is still nowhere near.

Doubt GIF: the guy who literally stole as is the design of another artist and didn't inform him in any way, is proud now.

Yes, they literally took the whole color palette of the game from a poster maker fella, then also cut his posters to in-game icons, textures, and UI elements.
