Just a reminder that Philz's sold the company to private equity in such a way that the employees wouldn't get their employee stock payouts, and they lost all the money they invested. They got a $525 "bonus" instead. www.kqed.org/news/1205127...

Can’t believe the news, Disney shutting down the marvel. vis dev department. This teams art made them billions and billions of dollars, but it seems that paying a handful or so of fulltime illustrators is simply too much to ask these days.
It's wild to see something like this in New York. Not that New Yorker's aren't quick to love those in their community, but it just feels like the 90's movie version of what a beloved New York Mayor walking down the street would look like. You love to see it though. More of this in the future please.
A badge of honor 🫡
Check out the latest animated film I've gotten to be a part of at #DreamWorks Animation! #ForgottenIsland is an original story rooted in Filipino mythology, with some great lead characters, and plenty of style! I can't wait to see it on the big screen in September! youtu.be/a8RHqN93qfo?...
Bad image for the Battlefield franchise. What are they thinking? Just keep it listed and remove the licensed music, or just pay for covers.

After 30 mins the hold music finally kicked in.

Ah, so he can lie fluently.
🚨 It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work.
This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public.
Please spread the word.

It's been two years since Akira Toriyama left us ;__;
Yeah, I quoted and linked the source. The original comments were only reading the headline and not taking into context the situation/context of the headline. I never hid it and pointed to where I quoted it from, with others who knew more about the skier, hours before this click bait title went up.
The FCC just opened public comments on SpaceX's plan to launch a million satellites to do AI compute in space. Under the current proposal, an environmental review won't be required. Please consider submitting a public comment to oppose this damaging plan.

I wanted to pick these up to get a discount for some multiplatform game battlepasses, but the deal had already expired shortly after this post.
Your years at Xbox were among the most exciting for me as a gaming fan. From a hidden Series-S on the shelf, T-Shirt game teases, & a willingness to be forward-facing for many candid interviews over the years.
I appreciate what the Xbox Team reached for and where you both got it to in 2026. TY <>♥️
If there is one thing I'd hoped this industry would remember the Phil Spencer and Sarah Bond era for, it would be a strive to make the gaming industry more accessible for developers and gamers in every aspect they could.
I appreciated your developments in game preservation and the free Xbox Enhancements for legacy titles. The ease to turn any Xbox into a Development kit, supporting/showcasing Indies, and showing a solid effort to reach out to foreign markets and connect devs and gamers. The list goes on...
I really connected with many of the goals/initiatives you achieved during your time as President of Gaming with Xbox. I admired your efforts to make gaming more accessible. Financially, with the Series S, Play Anywhere, Accessibility Hardware, and a strong push for multi-platform CrossPlay.

Sarah's post was made a few hours later over on LinkedIn.

I’m assuming hire-ups canceled the next-gen Xbox hardware, and Phil/Sarah left or were phased out. I hate this outcome. I liked a lot of what Phil and Sarah brought to the industry (cross-gen gaming, adaptive controller, play anywhere). I think xbox wad ignored more than they should have early on.
Heartbreaking. The man lost his grandfather during the opening ceremony, hasn't even had the time to properly grieve -
Brutal stuff. He's also one of the most liked and kindest racers on the World Cup circuit. I hope he'll manage to bounce back -

This sucks. The work is done, just let it exsist. This was one of my main childhood set of games. I was stoked they did this but it's had way to short of a run.
