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 ๐
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

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)
I gotta hand it to congress they arenโt even pretending to remotely be a democratic body anymore. Thank you for revealing the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie to the people
Happy for you!
Screenshot from LinkedIn. The statement from the CEO is very long but the relevant part is that a) they laid people off and b) there's talk of "overwhelming evidence of organized espionage and corporate sabotage affecting Mindseye" (that's the company's game that came out and did very poorly.
It's got to be some real insult to injury to have your CEO lay you off while blaming conspiracies and corporate espionage after ordering monitoring software to be secretly installed on employee PCs.
I think about this take more often than I'd like to.

i know why game devs keep doing this with enemy design ("acceptable" target, shouldn't be but it is) and i hope, sometime in my lifetime, it ends. remember the boomer in l4d? what if we gave him a backstory file about how he was trying to lose weight? re: requiem! www.mothership.blog/you-know-wha...

"The CIA conspired to make me less cool than I was when I was 25" is the most succinct Gen X manifesto I've ever heard
Okay! My GDC schedule has a lot of empty room in it.
Who's gonna be there and wants to chat? Especially if you want to talk about porting your game to console/needing release management/QA/co-dev stuff
But even if you just know me from around the industry!

I'd love to chat for thirty minutes if you're interested? I've loved your output with Validate and would love to chat about your history of production as a longterm producer myself!
