Starting to feel like Bluesky may really win as the twitter replacement as I always hoped it would.

@verge Maybe it doesn't, but remind me who needs an SUV to go over 93mph? Is that not quick?

@rockpapershot A quick glance at the top-rated games of the year would seem to disabuse the notion that smaller and more interesting games can't score well.
And let's not overlook that it's not metacritic doing the reviews, just aggregating them. If they didn't, someone else likely would.

@MatPiscatella The segment of the market that both want new games every month and are willing and able to pay for them is a pretty small niche.
How small? I would love to know, but I'm a designer damnit, not an analyst.

@winnersusedrugs Thanks for publishing 😃
I feel like that core point helps explain so much of our industry, like "How can an industry make so many tens of billions in revenue, yet new projects are struggling for funding?"

@JM8andLudo I endorse this anti-consumable stance, especially in games where you don't reload saves on death.

Bold of them to acknowledge that continuing to lose billions of dollars a year on something may, at some point, harm their financial performance.

They've made live-action versions of every other cartoon - when do we get live-action Sterling Archer and what actor could possibly do the role justice?

[Netflix @netflix]

HE'S COMING.

Archer Seasons 1 - 13. May 13. Boop!

@lucyamorris [If my wild speculation is right] There's definitely an element of "It's your fault I wasn't able to bluff my way out of this mess" to it.
Not trying to justify any of this, just theorizing.

[Rob Green - Not really here any more @robgreennz]

@lucyamorris The phrase that stood out for me was "invest the additional resources".
I might be reading too much into it, but that suggests to me that the leak might be less about low morale and more about how much 'additional' money it would take to ship, beyond what was already agreed.

My latest blog, in which I examine whether the idea of a superhero co-op game is just inherently cursed.

@ceebelsy I choose to believe this was all a hilarious misunderstanding of the word 'game'.

Notoriously, a social platform pivoting to video has never gone poorly.

X is becoming a video first platform

#GDC2024 is going to be a bit awkward this year since there's only 18 people still employed in game development,
