To wit: Over 205 different NEW videogame projects have already begun under the (proposed) new contract that SAG-AFTRA has painstakingly pushed for over the last year! The videogame industry is not being blockaded. We’re pushing back against AI clauses that some companies still refuse to remove.

Please for the love of god can someone write an article on Discord not being a good replacement for forums (which it isn't) that actually asks the question of why people don't wanna use forums anymore or why they don't make wikis anymore

Total deregulation of a/i where states cannot enact any guardrails of their own. That's what's in this bill. This is some real, truly awful shit for the future of all of us and everything we post online. U.S. House Switchboard: (202) 224-3121 5calls.org to get a script and quick dial to your rep.

I've seen a lot of posts incorrectly say you have to call your reps about the SCREEN Act. while the Screen Act is definitely worth calling about, that is not what is being brought before the Senate on thursday What you need to call your reps about is the "S.5260 Interstate Obscenity Definition Act"

Hi Gamers, As you may know, Nintendo of America is trying to opt everyone out of the right to class action lawsuits in their new EULA. They require a paper letter to opt out. I have created a form to easily opt out of this anti-consumer behavior. This is due 30 days from agreeing to the new EULA.

environmental impact of AI seems to be a complicated issue, where on one hand stories keep coming out of towns being poisoned and coal plants being re-opened and energy consumption skyrocketing, but on the other hand there's reply guys going "wiggles finger nuh-uh" so idk what to think anymore

@soundcloud.dev I don’t think you guys realize what kind of bear you’re poking here. For years your platform has been widely supported by Undertale & Deltarune fan musicians, many of whom won’t hesitate to move off site if this doesn’t change. Don’t forget the last time you tried something similar.

Looks like the soundcloud AI stuff wasn't for generative AI but algorithm stuff? They talked about it on their twitter. Make what you will of that.

I don’t care if you hate porn. Please for the love of god don’t get stuck there cognitively. Anti-porn legislation + how trans and NB people (even cis drag queens/kings) are being consistently described as sexually deviant = the groundwork is being laid for all queer expression to be made illegal.

A world historical crime, taking place in full view, with the perpetrators so convinced of their impunity that they can brag about genocidal intent, and it’s hard not to agree with their calculation that no one will stop them and no one will be held accountable

Huge news on Patreon! Because of the Apple v. Epic ruling, they are not only dropping the 30% Apple Store charge on the iOS app, they are also halting the move to subscription billing for all creators - which would have affected creators like me, who use a "per video" structure than monthly.

Itch is one of the most important resources on the web right now to get started as a games developer, if not _the_ most important resource. To see it struggling to provide its services because AI companies don't want to respect the boundaries of the internet makes me extremely angry.

please stop sharing this. it is completely misinformation. it is putting vulnerable people at risk. 1. the number given is for the Canadian Trans Lifeline, not suicide hotline. 2. the US Trans Lifeline, 877-565-8860, is still operational 3. Trans Lifeline is not part of the US 988 network 1/3

I’ve made more off the 2 lines I did for Detective Pikachu (film) than I did for all of Breath of the Wild for the same reason. Feature films still pay royalties; videogames - despite their industry now being worth more than television/radio/film COMBINED - still do not.
