There are lots of talking points with this: 1. Is it time to call it a day on Gears as an IP? 2. Xbox has a Game Pass problem - apart from Forza - 1st party games in the service don’t sell. 3. Even from estimated engagement - 1.7 million out of ~25million GPU users…

People can argue about Game Pass revenue but it’s evident Asha isn’t a fan of the service. The service has been stagnant/declined for 2+ years. The revamp is coming but… How does Xbox retrain users to buy, at least 1st party games, while keeping them subscribed.

Roblox: Full of pedophiles and AI Slop. Gaming would be better if Roblox shut down.

My Phantom Blade Zero experience so far @pbzero_official: 1. 55 Minutes to "unpack" and compile shaders 2. Crazy artifacting with hair/white boxes in the sky 3. Looking up and trying multiple "settings" to fix the issue with no avail Apparently, an issue impacting AMD GPUs.

It does appear to not be an issue after getting past this, admittedly, short section. But still annoying

Stupid Never Dies is, unfortunately, a disappointing action rogue-like with a great soundtrack but a drawn-out runtime combined with repetitive, sluggish gameplay make it a slog to play Review: youtu.be/HxRe0WOLMTE Code provided for review

I’ve spoken about this issue before - but storefronts - Steam, Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo - NEED some curation system. Remove current shovelware but we also need to prevent this low effort AI slop from flooding storefronts. All it will do is hurt actual developers

Do you think @Steam raising the game submission fee to $1,000 per game while reducing its revenue cut to 10% would be the best way to combat the flood of AI generated low effort games being released on Steam?

respawnfirst.com/demands-for… @Steam I understand this is hard to tackle but even having categories like: AI Assisted - Coding AI Generated - Art, Characters, Voices AI Generation during gameplay 100% AI Free Would go a long way. As well as requiring more detailed disclosures

Even as a smaller creator, I feel this.

Gotta be honest… the amount of PR emails about Steam Next Fest demos is completely untenable. You’re gonna have to start curating the demos for the right creators if you want any sort of coverage cause at this point it’s just noise. Just being honest from the media side.

An absolute farce if true. A decade of cheating and they would be right back in the league after ONE season. Opens the door for other teams to do the same. Most fans would take one relegation if it means winning multiple titles.

Man City to face HUGE points deduction which will guarantee relegation - and more could come next season - but they won't be sent down to League Two, insiders tell OLIVER HOLT.

Indie game creators scared to have demos or even reveal their games now because people are using AI to create slop copies.

AI breaking down barriers and making game development “easier and more accessible” is not a good thing. I wouldn’t go to a restaurant and pay for a meal from a chef that can’t cook.
