  Hell, why limit it to gaming? I mean I know this is posted to Gaming, but still. There could be a lot of benefit to a tech industry wide Public Shame Index with how utterly soulless some companies are getting. Though, it would be under constant pressure from the largest companies to call it slander or libel, whatever they’d try to say to the abuse contact email of whoever hosts it to get it taken down.

  Article seems kinda clickbaity, not sure about this Andy Chalk fella who wrote the piece.

  So RWS caught wind that the devs of the next Postal game they were going to publish were using AI generated art, and then cut ties with the studio due to the community backlash? Sounds like they made the right choice. Maybe they shouldn’t have outsourced the development of the game…

  All consoles become outdated and can’t have their hardware upgraded, so it’s just another game console. Maybe they’re pulling from Nintendo’s playbook and intentionally shipping weaker hardware as part of their strategy. Plus, if developers target optimizing for the GabeCube’s specs, it would increase benefits for players across weak and strong PC hardware.

  The second-hand videogame market will always exist, even if the license when you bought the game doesn’t give you explicit permission to sell your copy. This probably isn’t going to change any time soon either
