This is pretty blatant. Unfortunately, I don't see Bungie doing the right thing here. Pay her for the work they stole, and credit her in the game. This is like what... The FOURTH time they pulled a stunt like this? It's fucking loser behaviour.

Fucking THANK YOU. Like, for real, I need a lot of you to dispense with the fantasies of objective, impartial tech. You are watching the intended purpose of this shit on display as we speak as Grok is hammered into compliance behind the scenes.

I really liked Astral Ascent, and I love a good Action-RPG, so I am looking forward to the full reveal.

AI sucks, plagiarism sucks, and your boss takes credit for your work because despite the praise he lavishes on you and all his talk about making the industry a better place, he wants to make all the money for himself and resents you for your skills. I wrote about talentless ghouls like that here

Very weird to see writers cheering for A.I. audiobooks. This is the same horrible machine that they want to replace YOU. Audiobook narrators are your peers.

A while back I was asked by a friend to write for his Dutch website, Retroready.nl. The site primarily focused on handhelds capable of playing retrogames, and he already posted a ton of reviews. On the games side, it's looking at re-released older games, upgraded or not, and those inspired by.

Rare Dutch post: Ben sinds een tijdje weer bezig wat games te reviewen, en dit is alweer nummer vijf. Gisteren uitgekomen, en de review is ook gisteren verschenen. Twijfelde of ik daarover moest posten, maar bij deze. Ondanks wat minpuntjes, best een leuke game. retroready.nl/2025/05/08/w...

GIVEAWAY: do you, or someone you know, want to attend INDIGO but find the cost a barrier? I will be giving away (at least) two tickets to people from marginalized backgrounds who struggle to access the event.

If you see @polygon.com on a resume in the near future, you should hire that person. It’s been a rough week and all the amazing folks who lost their jobs deserve to be snapped up as quickly as possible.

As video game journalism outlets steadily disappear, we don’t just miss out on coverage of indie games that need exposure to succeed. We also lose important industry watchdogs. Fewer reporters means less scrutiny of labor conditions and industry practices, shifting even more power to AAA publishers.

It is once again #BandcampFriday! This means that if you were planning on buying music over at Bandcamp, today is the best to fully support your favorite artists! I will share some of my favs in this new thread.

It's fucking infuriating the state of things. Giant Bomb is no more because of idiot execs at Fandom, and Vox Media decided to screw their workers over by selling Polygon to fucking Valnet! Of all the companies they could've sold it to, they went with the worst.

Fucking Valnet, that gutted Collider and ComicBook Resources, owns the awful, AWFUL, ScreenRant, has bought Polygon. One of the premiere gaming-sites. They fired everyone who wrote for it. Fucking unnacceptable.

I'm no longer with Polygon. If you're hiring, please consider the many talented writers and editors now on the market. Every one of them deserves a spot on your staff. I won't be talking more about the sale because I wasn't involved. Going to hang out with my kid. Taking wins where I can.
