What thing you learned from videogames is perfectly valid in real life? I'll start:
- Check the side characters for interesting quest options!

Warhorse/KCD/Mafia creator Daniel Vavra has Ubisoft shares in his stack. And with his usual attitude to everything and everyone, he's bitching about it.

Ark System Works created and self-published a new isometric action: oddly enough, it's not a fighting game!

You're all wizards here! ❤️
I've seen a lot of doubt about the cast and even more about the need for remake. Honestly, it's much needed.
We know Harry Potter, for my generation it was the book that brought even a school criminal kids to reading. We thought they can barely speak, who knew they would love books, right?
I'm not sure if modern kids ever had anything close to it even remotely. Their medium is always short. And spilling a bit of magic to the new generation, sharing it with kids of our own is good.

And I'm a big fan of Greedfall — the writing is as good as in old Mass Effect games. But the series founder was fired long ago (even before the release of Greedfall II).
My renaigse has definitely become on-ol-menawi, but there's literally no point in sending them more money right now, they need millions, not $3.99 on sale.

And since it's no longer my sources but also public statements, here is the good example of what's wrong with "let's fire 1000 people" — it will be random.
Almost like Unity when they fired Ben from their shader graph team... literally the best specialist and evangelist of the whole engine.

Epic Pays: players and industry veterans are equally mad about the financial statement.
- Epic payed too much for UEFN
- They lowered BR support efforts
- And fired people randomly (according to my info, some crucial and very talented workers lost their jobs)
It will inevitably sabotage further Battle Royale development, it will not save UEFN, and eventually, both will further underperform.

The bubble is slowing down: Open AI just announced they will discontinue Sora. A quick summary — they were unable to monetize it and the interest from the audience burned out quickly. When the novelty faded, even free users abandoned the app.

Epic Games just got rid of 1000 workers due to significant loss of profits from Fortnite. The company was spending too much for the last few quarters and now they will have to adjust.
In total the company is trying to cut $500m with all the measures. I assume that free games on Epic Store will also be affected.

Whoa, VNDB was mostly operated by a single person who unfortunately passed away. Now several moderators are trying to preserve it and find a way to get collective access to the domain and hosting (Source)

Investors: one ex developer said the game is bad, reviewers were unable to defeat the boss, whoa, drop the shares price!
The game actually sells, investors: whoa, raise the price! Congrats, that was the real traders strategy guide in 20 seconds.

By the way, Meta is still cutting jobs (after they already cut some recently). About 700 people will lose jobs this time. Why? They want to invest $169B in 2026 mostly into AI.

Charming family-focused science fiction about star-eating microorganisms who can destroy our sun.
Written by the author of the Martian. It leaves some blank spots to fill. But overall a good and finished story. Still don't take it too serious, it's obviously made with kids in mind.

KenneyNL is giving away his assets to people who recently lost their jobs:

After their parent company Nacon admited they are out of money, their subordinates followed with the same legal request.
Paris-based studio Spiders is perhaps best known for working on the Greedfall franchise. Kylotonn has spent recent years overseeing the World Rally Championship series, while Cyanide has worked on franchises such as Styx and Blood Bowl (via).

And PlayStation is shutting down Dark Outlaw Games. The company they founded with ex-Treyarch veteran and co-creator of Call of Duty Zombies franchise Jason Blundell.
The craziest part? The company was established last March and lived just about a year. Do they know that to succeed in game industry you have to MAKE GAMES and not simply shut down every studio you have?
Jason is also a curious person: in 2022 he announced the creation of Deviation Games that was also focused on PlayStation exclusives. Then he left his own company in 2023, and then Deviation Games was eventually shut down in 2024. In total way over 100 people worked there, famous motion capture actors were there, and it was all gone without a trace.
