When the Perfect Dark trailer came out, I posted I was the foliage artist for the game and BAM! Harassment campaign.

The harassers said LOTS of things about me and work slapped me with an official warning and I couldnt engage with the game going forward

Shame to see it be an industry standard.

How does this work?

Do we all instantly become communists when @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social wins? Gets sworn in? Does she have to do something first? Do we need to sign something?

Any advice from NYC people? As you all have the extra complication of becoming Muslims now as well.

I will be in L.A. adjacent to The Game Awards (for different reasons). Do you want to show me your game for coverage on Restart? Or just for the hell of it? Got a preview event? A mixer? A spare hour with nothing to do?

Let me know and we can figure something out!

Halo co-creator says ICEโ€™s Halo-themed recruitment ad โ€œmakes me sickโ€ Another Halo maker says ad "ought to offend every Halo fan, regardless of political orientation." ALSO: A developer whose game just launched on Xbox slams Microsoftโ€™s silence

NEW: I spoke to original Halo devs about that ICE Halo post

One: "abhorrentโ€

Another: "Using Halo imagery in a call to โ€˜destroyโ€™ people because of their immigration status goes way too far, and ought to offend every Halo fan, regardless of political orientationโ€

This is Nintendos version of porting their First party games to other console for more revenue

That's a theory at least.

but it doesn't seem to be the big draw it being hyped to be. Might be better off making your own unique niche in the shooter space and cater to that smaller but dedicated audience

Probably a mix of a few things. Devs on the team are playin Extraction games and want to try to make one themselves. Also is a massive multiplayer game without a huge Fortnite level incumbent so the space is right for the taking. And if you take it you COULD make a money printing machine

I linked the characterization of of the humans characters especially Master Chief a lot in both games. They did a lot to bring out his humanity and it made him more interesting to watch and play off other characters. My only issue is the Prometians in 4 and the lack of biom diversity in Infinite

Hey, who wants some Keeper codes? I've got some for Steam and Xbox. Here's the catch: they will be encrypted using LIGHTHOUSE TRIVIA. Hope you're up on @doublefine.com's Lighthouses of the Week! Stand by...

as an industry Is the goal to try and encourage people to buy more games? Feels like an impossible task if everyone is hurting for cash and buying a single game is expensive. So double down on the enthusiast group that is smaller but more willing to take a chance on a new game?

I don't seriouspost that much anymore, mostly because I'm tired and more cynical about the efficacy of the effort, but I'll give it a try for old time's sake.

It has been de rigueur for many professional posters to insist on participating in American democratic processes as a remedy for discontent.
