What's fishy? That it's impossible to talk to an actual human being to get support from most of Big Tech or that support is no longer a normal expectation or that you can get locked out of your email, payment systems, phone and ha

When has it been truly alive, is it 10 or 15 years of development hell now?

The entire Guillemot family is ridiculously wealthy from Ubisoft and calling their employees greedy.

This is why we are seeing a resurgence of Double A with games like Expedition 33 taking the limelight because art does not thrive under corporate control. I'm old enough to have seen this cycle of birth and death of studios a few times

CoD is a different beast though. In 2021, PlayStation tracked that that 1 million players on their console only had CoD installed and played no other games. Most Ubi franchise aren't that type of game ouside Rainbow Six which has a lot

Their announcement that they were doubling down on everything their customers hate was a choice. The Guillemot family is a cancer on gaming.

If he's smart, he does whatever he can to preserve his quality of life and not end up in a wheelchair at 60 which means never playing competitively again. Seven back surgeries is no joke.

I'm trying to understand why they think 30 years of brand building should be discarded.

No, silly billy but the responsibility for when your SAAS platform is generating it falls on you as a developer. The user in not creating it you are based on a prompt you could easily say no to.

Someone spending 40 hours drawing a nude is not equivalent to someone saying take this photo and make them naked and having a naked photo in 4 seconds. Only one of these is easily preventable with guardrails.

LOL, I worked for a Microsoft outsourcer in the late 90's doing Word and then VBA support. I would get this a lot! My stock answer was, " I'll tell him the next time we have lunch, but you know the cheap bastard always makes

Feels like there is some correlation here to the Anime / Manga industry, creating VR avatars and drawing manga characters aren't that far apart. Japan has always had a large pool of aspiring Anime and Manga artists, and this would

Nothing yet, but the timing is oddly coincidental to the shooting that occurred a Brown University a few days ago. Probably nothing there but who knows.

My heart breaks for Romy having to find her parents like that. She seemed to be a sweet kid who idolized her dad on Twitter.

He also normalized and romanticized the American Expansion and displacement of Native Americans. He's a very complicated and flawed figured who irrevocably changed the course of this nation. Even Walt recognized that Walt Disney the ma

For me it's not so much about shitting on game devs as it is about shitting on the ogres that run game companies. Any of us who have done development should understand we have little control over scope and often want to do more than th

Yes, but if you watch any documentaries about early Disney and listen to those people talk everything was about Walt's vision even after death they would ask "What would Walt want or do?" He was a figure whose influence and v

Yes, but Disney legal is incredibly aggressive with any unauthorized use of characters. They have made day care's repaint walls with character murals. They have an army that chases that stuff down.
