NVIDIA is facing a crisis at the top. Even after bringing on 7,000 new employees to keep up with the AI boom, they are still 10,000 people short.

What does this mean for the people building the hardware? The selection pressure in AI is so high that NVIDIA isn't just looking for standard workers; they need a level of talent that barely exists yet. This creates a massive bottleneck for the infrastructure that powers every game and tool we use.

By April 2026, we could be looking at a trillion-dollar empire scrambling in real-time. This labor gap is the kind of thing that leads to GPUs costing twice as much or getting delayed for years. The hardware we rely on is hitting a wall because there aren't enough people qualified to build it.

@TheBakaArts I agree, Baka!

Google just nuked Doki Doki Literature Club Plus from the Play Store. It is gone.

Apparently, the sensitive themes in the game were too much for their corporate Terms of Service, even with all the explicit warnings at the start. If you didn't already have it downloaded, you can no longer buy this version.

It is pathetic to see a piece of horror history erased because a corporate algorithm decided it was too uncomfortable for people to handle. If you have it installed on your phone, do not delete it. You are holding a ghost.

I thought I Am Jesus Christ was a joke until I saw Asmongold’s reaction. On April 6, 2026, he declared it his Game of the Year, and he wasn't kidding.

The game puts you in a first-person perspective to play through the New Testament, perform miracles, and fight Satan. It sounds like a meme, but the actual experience is intense and incredibly bold. It managed to move past the initial shock of the concept to deliver something genuinely impressive. If you think you've seen everything in gaming, this is easily the wildest thing you’ll play all year.

@immadomyownshit @Sakura_Rabbiter Nobody stopped. It's too late.

@JonasTyroller "Ew! None." sounds fun.

What does this mean for the people who build operating systems?

Windows is losing its grip on PC gaming. The latest Steam hardware survey shows Linux usage has surged to a 5.33 percent market share, more than doubling its 2.23 percent share from February.

Valve is rewriting the rules of the industry. Between the Steam Deck and SteamOS, the reliance on Windows bloatware is fading as Linux quietly becomes a juggernaut. The data proves a shift is happening fast. If you aren't paying attention to the Linux revolution, you're looking at a dying landscape.

Amazon is ordering major script rewrites for the Mass Effect TV series. They want to modernize it. It’s the same old story where a studio takes a loved universe and starts hacking away at it because they think they know better than the source material.

I want to enjoy a space opera without a lecture. Especially one where I’m not wondering if the writers even liked the original game or if they’re just trying to "fix" something that wasn't broken. Usually, when a show gets ordered to undergo massive rewrites to make it more accessible or modern, it just means they're stripping out the soul and the grit that made people care in the first place. Amazon has a habit of doing this to established franchises. We’re likely in for another project that values a message over the actual craftsmanship of the world. Expect the worst.

Asmongold has been banned from Twitch for a whole week. Love him or hate him, do you agree with the decision?

[Zack @Asmongold]

Banned for an entire week because I said I don't give a fuck about the opinions of illiterate third worlders.

Would someone be banned for saying they don't care about what an American's opinion is on the Middle East?

Of course not

Blatant double standard, I didn't break ToS

Daisuke Ishiwatari is issued a blunt warning to the industry: the era of the hyper-specialized AAA developer is a career trap.

The Guilty Gear creator argues that modern studios are forcing talented people into "dangerous siloes." Instead of building actual game-making skills, developers spend five years perfecting niche tasks, like how light reflects off skin in a specific engine. Ishiwatari says that if you spend half a decade on one tiny, specialized detail and then leave, your chances of finding another job are basically zero.

This culture turns creators into replaceable parts. When a developer is only useful inside one massive corporate machine, they lose the ability to survive outside of it. It is a brutal reality check from a legend who values craftsmanship over being a cog in a system.

The Global AI Alliance is a billion-dollar ghost. Investors poured hundreds of millions into a company that claims to own proprietary technology, but every demo they released was just a screen recording of open-source tools with a different skin.

The headquarters is a mailbox in a strip mall and the CEO had no digital footprint before this year. It turns out the entire powerhouse was nothing more than a fancy PowerPoint presentation. They sold the "future of tech" without actually building a single thing.

March 2024 has been a brutal month for the gaming industry. Epic Games cut 1,000 employees while Ubisoft's Red Storm Entertainment reduced its staff by over 100 people. Eidos Montreal also let go of 124 staff members. Leadership is clearly prioritizing restructuring over team stability, even at the biggest studios. It remains to be seen if these companies can actually hit their 2026 release targets with such massive reductions in headcount. Creators are facing a level of instability that makes you wonder about the quality of what comes next.

@DanPaladin GOGOGO!

I'll be honest: I thought I’d seen every possible way for a game project to derail, but "sending millions of dollars to the wrong person" is a new one.

Jiro Ishii, the producer behind 428: Shibuya Scramble, is suing a crowdfunding platform after a total disaster involving the successor to his legendary title. Instead of funding the game, the platform sent the money to a random individual and is now offering "mind-boggling" excuses for the mistake.

This was supposed to be the dream project for fans, but now it’s stuck behind a massive legal wall. It is rare to see a blunder this incompetent from a professional company. Ishii is taking legal action to recover the funds, and based on the excuses he’s hearing, this transition from developer to litigant is going to get ugly. Merit and craftsmanship don't mean much when the platform meant to support you accidentally robs you instead.

@scottpetrovic LOVE IT! I'll check it out for my indie game side project!

@Foyezes Thanks! This looks great!

Kolbe Launchbaugh, a veteran developer with 17 years on the Halo franchise, has filed a massive lawsuit against 343 Industries and Microsoft. The allegations are grim: fraud, blacklisting, and targeted harassment campaigns.

Launchbaugh claims he was treated like an enemy of the state and faced retaliation for reporting safety issues. It is a nightmare scenario for any craftsman to be pushed out of a series they helped build for nearly two decades.

This explains a lot about the current state of the franchise. It is hard to prioritize merit and fun when a studio is allegedly focused on internal rot and running off the very people who understand what makes the game work. 343 and Microsoft are finally being called to account for how they treat the talent behind the screen. If these claims of fraud and harassment are true, the studio's reputation is likely beyond saving.

Tim Ward spent 20 years at Rockstar North helping build GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption, but even that kind of veteran experience isn't enough to secure a job in the current market. He describes the hiring landscape as a total toss of a coin because the competition is filled with people just as skilled as he is.

It is a grim reality when the people responsible for the biggest games on the planet are struggling to find work. If twenty years of legendary craftsmanship at the highest level doesn't guarantee a paycheck, the industry is in a strange place. It makes you wonder who will be left to actually build the games worth playing when the top talent is getting shut out.

@OverdrawGames Looks great!

The new Mortal Shell 2 gameplay footage shows a massive leap for the shell-swapping mechanic. The combat carries a visceral weight that makes the original feel like a tech demo by comparison. One of the most interesting additions is environmental destruction that actually changes how you navigate boss arenas.

Asmongold recently reacted to the footage, highlighting the frame-perfect transitions between forms. For a team this size to deliver boss designs and mechanics that look this refined is impressive. This isn't just a budget Soulslike anymore. Cold Symmetry is playing in a different league now.
