if you dont want a hate mob then maybe dont use ai in your game, not that hard to understand tim
Tim Sweeney is criticizing Valve again over Steam’s requirement for developers to disclose their use of generative AI.
The Epic Games CEO called the policy “abhorrent,” arguing that developers are being forced to make a “political statement” that could be used against them by a “hate mob.”
Sweeney has been criticizing the policy since 2025, previously comparing the disclosure to a “Scarlet Letter” and arguing that AI will eventually be part of almost every game production process.
yeah anyone with any ounce of industry knowledge knows this will never work unless xbox decides to produce for them
A Canadian political leader is calling for the government to help BioWare developers buy the studio from EA and run it themselves.
NDP leader Avi Lewis says the developers should get the first shot at taking control, with government support.
“The developers at BioWare know how to run the studio. They know how to make the games we all love.”
He also criticized corporate ownership, arguing that Canada should keep control of major game studios in Canadian hands.

we almost had quick hacks in mass effect
I can finally talk about Mass Effect Universe.
Since Bioware closed I can now reveal that I was part of the Mass Effect Council, saw what BioWare was building, and provided feedback during development.
• Set 600+ years after the Reaper War
• You play as a customizable N7 agent
• Instead of being a walking gun rack, you're a cross between John Wick and James Bond
• Shepard's legacy preserved, regardless of your ending
• A galaxy divided into three major factions
• Humanity, Krogan, Batarians, and more allied together
• Council races forming their own alliance
• The Geth emerging as a third superpower
• A galactic Cold War instead of another Reaper style invasion with a shadowy adversary
• Geth-built megastructures
• Connections between the Milky Way and Andromeda
• Experimental technology implanted in you as a unique point of difference
• Hacking and manipulating the environment
• See through walls, identify systems, remotely trigger hazards and more
• Handcrafted missions like ME1-3
• But with Hitman-style freedom in how you complete them
• Brutal close-range executions
• Squadmates who can clash with each other
• Romance wasn't being sanitised
• Liara returns - now an incredibly powerful Asari Matriarch
From what I saw, BioWare was making Mass Effect for us, the fans, not for people who don't exist.
It looked incredible.
And now we may never get to play it.

A purported BioWare developer has leaked a trailer for the cancelled ME 5 on Reddit.
The footage, reportedly titled "MASS EFFECT UNIVERSE," appears to suggest the project was further along in development.
Its authenticity remains unverified.

Hideo Kojima says people who have never played Death Stranding but call it "a walking simulator" are proof that social media can form hivemind narratives.
He finds it "scary" that AI may one day shield people from being exposed to differing opinions.

Heartbreaking to hear of the closure of BioWare and the next Mass Effect ending development.
I had so much fun collaborating with Casey and the team on the Mass Effect teaser in 2020 -- during the height of COVID.
I hope one day, somehow, Mass Effect will return.
Star Wars the Old Republic was and still is one of the best MMORPGs out there, Bioware did an amazing job and this is incredibly sad to see. I’m glad Broadsword is carrying on the torch and continuing to support it
RIP Bioware

Spotting a familiar face, chooms? 👀
You may remember seeing him in Konpeki Plaza during The Heist in 2077. Now, the renowned braindance director is making another appearance in Night City.
@HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN returns as Hideyoshi Oshima in Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2!
ALT Image announcing Hideo Kojima as the voice actor for Hideyoshi Oshima in Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2. A photograph shows Hideo Kojima looking directly at the camera, wearing glasses with thick black frames. His dark hair falls onto his forehead, and he has a closely trimmed beard and moustache. A smaller image shows Hideyoshi Oshima from the anime, whose appearance resembles Kojima's, including his hairstyle, glasses, and facial hair. The Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 logo is also visible.

On one side of the image, Hideyoshi sits back on a sofa, behind a table on which there is a plate of food and two bottles. He has dark hair, a short beard and moustache, and wears glasses. The other side of the image lists his birthday and blood type as “confidential”. Text reads, “A Japanese braindance director. Played by Hideo Kojima.” The Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 logo appears at the top.
