Call of Duty making a zillion dollars all the time -- and being supported by a literal trillion-dollar company -- and still using AI for art assets is so incredibly pathetic and infuriating.

Child "oh yeah let me check if I accidentally played the fucking N64 game that makes you gay"

Chatting with Future Class inductees for my latest at @theguardian.com. They paint a pretty clear picture of the perils of performative allyship.

Thanks to all who spoke with me, and always, to Keza for the chance to do important work!

Geoff Keighley really is the perfect representative of the gaming industry:
-unreservedly self serving
-pretends to care about the people actually making the product
-loves to make performative gestures that ultimately go nowhere and help no one
-would almost certainly sell out to the saudis

Hard Drive was saddened to her about the passing of Molag Bal. We may not have always agreed with his methods, but he worked to enslave all of humanity and harvest their souls with the grace and poise the position demanded. Our thoughts go out to all his Daedric brethren in this difficult time.

Look, he's been really busy helping out some other promising industry upstarts. The "Future Class" program was absolutely NOT a cynical and performative gesture that was abandoned as quickly as Geoff got his flowers for announcing it.
