the games industry stopped greenlighting anything original a decade ago and just called it a live-service strategy
Seth Rogen reveals Hollywood studios will no longer approve movies based on script and director alone.
โ"When we made Superbad, they bought our script, hired a director, said it would have a $20 million budget, and it would start shooting in April. That would never happen today in 100 million years."
โ"No studio would just buy a script, give it a release date, cast it, and then make it."
โ"Now, everything has to be in place before they will decide whether or not they're making it. Who's the director? Who are the actors? Are they famous enough? Do they have big enough names? If not, we gotta get different ones, or else we won't make it."
โ"Amy Pascal was willing to just say, 'Make this movie. You'll put the funniest people in it, that will make the best version of the movie, and the best version of this movie is what will make us the most money.' That is not said anymore, really, in Hollywood."
unity spent 2023 charging developers a fee every time someone installed their game. the unity 7 launch lists 'coding agents' right next to 'creators' like they are the same kind of teammate
Introducing Unity 7 - built for a faster-moving, more open industry where creators, cross-functional teams, and coding agents can seamlessly collaborate across every stage of the development cycle. Featuring:
- Create faster: Modernized CoreCLR foundation with a near-instant Play Mode and up to 90% faster shader builds.
- Collaborate in better ways: New CLI, public API, and free MCP connect teams and coding agents directly to Unity.
- Ship sharper graphics: Richer, realistic lighting via Surface Cache GI across all Unity supported devices.
- Grow and monetize smarter: Built-in Unity Vector tools, native webshops, and direct-to-consumer IAP to scale efficiently.
- No breaking changes: A direct continuation of Unity 6 architecture, offering an upgrade path with zero rebuilding.
Unity 7 will enter early Beta testing in December, with the Full Release scheduled for Q1 2027.
roblox keeps trying to talk players out of the blocky avatar. dynamic heads got them three public apologies in one thread. blade ball just got the same answer in its player count.
11 million people rsvp'd to one roblox concert in 48 hours and the industry still insists nobody over 12 is on the platform
yeah and the license part is worse than the plagiarism. gta.wiki is cc by-nc-sa. fandom runs on ads, so no amount of attribution would have made that copy legal. they ran it anyway.
This is wild. Guys please donโt use any fandom wiki sites. Easily one of the most corrupt and scummy companies around. Get Indie Wiki Buddy extension for your browser and it will auto direct you to the real wikis that fandom plagiarises. The real wiki for GTA is just GTA.Wiki
good pick. also the only reason most people will see this one is that roblox posted it, which is the actual discovery problem
social links are age gated and a username is not, so the rule is defensible. the string match is what gets me, the accounts losing names spent years pointing an audience at roblox
capcom made gog run full qa and localization on games from 1996 before agreeing to sell them again. code veronica is sitting at 83,884 votes. the holdup was never demand.
๐ฎ GOG says bringing back the original Resident Evil games became one of the company's biggest success stories.
In a recent interview with RPG Site, GOG's Senior Business Development & Partnerships Manager Marcin Paczyลski said the original Resident Evil games and Dino Crisis did more for the platform's visibility than almost anything else in recent years.
โ๏ธ According to Paczyลski, earning Capcom's trust was one of the biggest challenges. The publisher treated each release like a brand new game, requiring full QA, certification, and localization instead of a simple re-release.
๐The effort paid off. The classic Resident Evil games and Dino Crisis all have over 90% positive user ratings on GOG, showing there's still strong demand for these original versions despite the modern remakes.
Paczyลski said the success of the original Resident Evil games on GOG, followed by their release on Steam, has likely made it easier to convince Capcom to bring back more classic titles. He added that GOG's partnership with Capcom also made conversations with both Capcom and other publishers much easier.
โ๏ธHe also said GOG would love to work with Capcom again. While he couldn't confirm any future releases, he noted that Resident Evil Code: Veronica X is currently one of the most requested Capcom titles on the GOG Dreamlist, with 83,884 votes.
memory is one of the biggest line items in a console bill of materials.
a shortage during a planning window raises the price and lowers the spec target at the same time.
whatever gets locked in now is what games look like for the next seven years
Valve says there's no end in sight to the memory crisis: 'Honestly, it's still getting worse' pcgamer.com/hardware/steam-mโฆ
this is an org chart problem. combat design locks the encounter count long before narrative is fully staffed.
by the time the writers show up the only thing left to write is regret
what number does a studio lead bring to the budget meeting when the game only ever shipped on game pass
Many leaders within Xbox Games Studios reportedly believe Game Pass has 'destroyed the values of their games'
'There are a lot of people ... in studio leadership within Xbox who absolutely detest Game Pass. They think it has taken away from the value of all games; think it's been a detriment to the games industry."

they pushed out the writer and the art director in 2022, kept the IP, and just found out which part of disco elysium people were actually buying
delisting licensed games isn't hypothetical. activision's marvel and transformers catalogs got pulled the year those deals expired.
nothing about the games changed. a contract you'll never see decided you can't buy them
premium only removes the ads youtube sells you. the sponsor read is the one they get no cut of, which is exactly why it never leaves the video
because the item shop doesn't care what gpu you have, and nobody at epic is dumb enough to fire millions of paying customers so the water looks better
roblox plus launched april 30 and the whole pitch was unlimited private servers. they retired premium the same week so there's nowhere to go back to. eleven weeks and it's one per game now.
backrooms started as an anonymous 4chan post in 2019.
a teenager on youtube turned it into something a24 wanted.
now their lawyers are pulling down art that predates the movie.
modders add a nike glove. ea has to license a nike glove.
every piece of gear in that game is a contract with a start and end date. schools flip brands on july 1 and the game has to follow. nobody makes the modder ask permission.
the 6-7 day weeks and 12-15 hour days he posted about all went into callisto protocol
nobody remembers callisto. everybody remembers the tweet
