Was it Waypoint that had the podcast about FPSs with the English guy who just said 15 litcrit terms in a row without ever making a point

Good to see them split from Gaynor, shame that they're still tethered to Annapurna.

It's been a minute so hopefully my memory isn't hosed, but as I recall Annapurna, in response to a different studio with an abusive head, decided the best solution was to keep said abuser on and give him a new studio to lead. Edit: Eurogamer summary article + the video that kicked things off: https://www.eurogamer.net/emotional-abuse-at-indie-studios-undermines-the-importance-of-auteurs I think what I'm remembering concerns the first case, but also there's Fullbright as one of the three.

People Make Games has a pretty good video on the topic that can give more detail without a weird game of telephone being played.

It's cool that Open Roads is still being made after all this time and that the devs successfully broke off from Gaynor although with this kind of troubled development who knows what the final product will be like.

That means that creators who were continuing to use the platform to communicate and deliver rewards to backers are currently scrambling to transition to alternative methods, including the likes of Double Fine and Gearbox. quote:In 2020, Fig was purchased by Republic, a platform through which users can invest in "startups, crypto, real estate, art, music, and more." Republic previously announced their intention to eventually close down Fig, but seemingly only confirmed the exact date for going offline this week. lol

People Make Games just came out with an investigative report on Disco Elysium: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGIGA8taN-M I'm not done watching it yet but its pretty interesting stuff. One thing to add (which they probably didn't mention because it's not a smoking gun in and of itself) is that Companies House, the UK's business registry is notorious for not doing due diligence on what companies are created and registered, especially from abroad. It doesn't necessarily mean anything but definitely a little weird for an EU-based firm, since labour is cheaper in the Baltics. Maybe there are better subsidies for game dev in the UK? It's pretty frustrating how opaque the financials of privately held firms are. Fruits of the sea fucked around with this message at 16:12 on May 29, 2023 |

Blizzard makes a "Diablo 4 Devs Answer YOUR Questions" and answers their own questions: https://twitter.com/pixelsbyphil/status/1662189983539822592 Unrolled thread version: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1662189983539822592.html

Apparently they tried to get questions on Twitter but nobody replied, which is easily corroborated by checking the Future Games Show twitter. Why they didn't use the GamesRadar twitter account instead is anyone's guess, but while Blizzard is... well, Blizzard, this sounds like a Future Games Show mess.

Yeah this seems like an FGS thing. I imagine Blizzard just responded to whatever questions they posed (probably along with a lot of other outlets) with no idea where they came from. https://twitter.com/futuregamesshow/status/1663521382976614402?s=46&t=IW0MSOWK0Lh4VsB3wVLoOA

A mix of 0% of your questions and 100% of ours. Which we created social accounts for so that they'd look like they came from you.

Pretty much all major game 'journalism' is bought and paid for. Outlets like IGN are explicitly part of the marketing plan of major games and you just need to cut them a check and they'll write an 'editorial' for whatever you want.

The NA League of Legends Championship Series' player association voted for a walkout, protesting Riot's sudden closure of the regional amateur circuit. LCS is supposed to start this Thursday and no changes in the schedule have been announced after the player vote, with multiple insiders reporting that Riot is allowing orgs to hire scabs from any rank and anywhere to fill their team spots as needed, and orgs scrambling to convince former players out of retirement to fulfill their contractual obligations to Riot. Summary of the situation prior to the walkout vote: https://leadergrev.substack.com/p/league-of-legends-lcs-walkout-vote

Seems very much like a "the rich owners cried about costs so we changed the system for them" situation. I wonder how trying to get replacement players would go, I can't imagine a community as hostile then LoL would take kindly to it.

Normally I wouldn't expect gamers as a collective to have any kind of solidarity at all. But in this case the non-pro League players are pissed as well because killing the amateur league is killing their own route to get into the competitive scene.
