Side note, as predicted, it turns out key cards don’t matter that much when the new game is good.

I am so, *so* fucking proud of the work folks have done to unionize at Heart Machine. 🖤
Did a double take when I saw this email.
For what this means, it's basically that the client began the process to make it a union game, alerting its cast that it would be union, but then did not actually complete the process to do so.
These notices can be rescinded should everything be fixed.
Öoo is the best video game I've played in like two years. www.nintendoworldreport.com/reviewmini/7...

GDC Day One down
Hey! @outersloth.com just publicly shared it’s contract terms at GDC 2026. Here’s the skinny if you’re looking for some funding!
Livid!!!
Are you fucking kidding me
Or SGF, which is less than a month after that!
Asking while my flight to SF is beginning to taxi to a very busy week of meetings and friends
So uh…anyone going to BitSummit in a few weeks 💀
It’s harder than DICE was because there are way more likely to be false positives
Playing “who’s on the flight for GDC” is fun lmao
DST *and* I’m getting on a plane in a couple hours 😭
idk I’ve seen a bajillion kids movies where the kids parents die & let me tell you, having a convo with my kid about how anyone can die at any time & it doesn’t matter if they’re someone’s mom or dad is way harder than having a convo about how sometimes someone has two dads or whatever. And yet
And they clearly don’t want the entire justification to be that the cost will be amortized over sequels!

I've been running gdcparties.com for a few years now. Some shitty company BlueberryAI decided they'd just take all the source code for the work I've done and reskin it, advertising it as their own. Jokes on them...it was still linked to my events spreadsheet, and now their website looks like this 😉
You're totally fine! If you had said "Escape from" I'd have been truly confused. Just not a take you see every day.
Added context: Nintendo is not alone. Other companies that have sued over Trump's tariffs recently include FedEx, UPS, Barnes & Noble, Costco, Revlon, Prada, Staples...
In terms of gaming companies, I haven't seen others
Great scoop by @nicolecarpenter.bsky.social

ECCC is this week, so now seems a good time to remind people of ReedPop's parent company ties to ICE
do people like the game? yes. Has the labor situation changed? No
New from 404 Media: Proton Mail, the privacy-focused email service, gave authorities data that let the FBI unmask an anonymous 'Stop Cop City' protester. It was payment data linked to the anonymous email account. From that, FBI ID'd them, then tracked their movements www.404media.co/proton-mail-...

I always love these sorts of interviews where people expect devs to be like "You know we hadn't announced anything but I feel like this random interview may be the perfect time to announce our entire lineup for the next ten years, thank you for asking"
But only 10 years since the most recent OoT remake release (TPHD)
