I finally caught up on a lot of the DC stuff this past few months when I finally had some time and all the new James Gunn stuff was great. Them turning away from him just seems like the literally worst strategic move to make. Lanterns was awesome and I had NO INTEREST in GL.
James Gunn and Peter Safran found out that they were no longer going to be running DC Studios this past Friday.
Skydance co-CEOs David Ellison and Ynon Kreiz broke the news to them in person.

Lamenting the fact that I'm not a hot Chinese lady. Seems like the only way to get a GeForce RTX 5080 these days. The bar is just set too high.
What are we doing? Altering a live feed with AI to change what you're saying/doing should be illegal. How are we supposed to trust literally any video we ever see again? Online media is eating itself alive, you can't trust what you see when everything is a potential mirage.
Microsoft has filed a patent for an AI system that could rewrite what people say during livestreams in real time. It could change words depending on who's watching, taking into account their age, location, and language.
The idea is to clean up broadcasts by removing filler words, censoring swearing, or even replacing certain words.
The AI could also adjust the speaker's lip movements so viewers wouldn't notice anything had been changed.
Finally, a historical event I'm actually glad to be here for. The Millennial hopecore reboot needed to happen. For at least tonight, this is the most positive my timeline has been or felt in years.
It's bc instead of curing things like cancer y'all takes natural resources, make memes, inflate the cost of PC parts, undermine the arts and lie to people that their labor won't be replaced. Then you wonder why people aren't impressed by your non-existent speculative hope gamble.
Thanks Bethesda, I love you guys and this made me laugh this morning. Not one, but two 'reveal' trailers in 8 years is the funniest thing. Even if I am excited for the new game. 15 years since Skyrim and getting not one but two reveal trailers is so funny.
I'd assume that number is actually higher too, because people don't disclose it on purpose too. But going from a couple percent to 50%+ in just a couple years is insanity. I'd be curious to see what the sales numbers are on the cumulative properties that have used AI vs. Not.
So they get to scan the entirety of humanity's collective knowledge to train their AI and do whatever they want regardless of copyright or theft for profit, but if regular people start doing that then suddenly it's "Wrong"? The hypocrisy is palpable.
ANTHROPIC IS CRACKING DOWN ON VIDEO GAME REWRITES 🚨
Claude Code picked up a new rule around Oct 27, sent from Anthropic’s servers under a flag called "tengu_heron_brook". There’s no setting to turn it off.
The full rule: “Do build original games, games in a genre, and games from the user’s own designs and assets. Don’t build a recreation of a specific existing game, even if it is renamed or called original.”
Is this the end of game rewrites, modding and everything in between?
I don't know how they didn't realize that as the Website Store, having a thing that indirectly makes it so you never have to visit the websites is actually bad, when they should be putting the good websites at the back so you have to walk past all the other stuff to get there.
$500 billion vaporised from Google parent company's market value because AI is eating Search's lunch pcgamer.com/software/ai/we-f…
I really despise the fact that all these AI chuds basically created a man made Pandora's box, shoved it in your face at every single opportunity and then constantly say "It's not our fault if you open it". They're basically like "haha whoopsie🤷♂️we didn't know what would happen"
We have labels on things for a reason. It's not political to say whats in your product it's informative, it's political for YOU because you don't like the reaction of the customers you're trying to convince to spend money, and they're literally telling you why they don't like it.
Replying to @mattworkman
Forcing developers to write a political statement to be used against them by the hate mob they’re helping organize is abhorrent.
"Awesome Games", so awesome they can't even get the finger count right.
Vibe your way to 50K.
The 2026 Epic AI MegaJam begins Nov 12: epic.gm/epic-ai-megajam-2026
Man that's so sad, this just feels like too little too late. Like where was this a decade ago man.
Heartbreaking to see this studio go. They made a lot of great games over the years, Baldur's Gate, KOTOR, Neverwinter Nights, Dragon Age, Mass Effect. It's just unfortunate to see, but entirely expected after the recent buyout of EA and their last decade of games.
I genuinely don't understand who that is for at that price point. At that point just save up for an actual desktop computer.
Xbox is reportedly planning for their next console to release in late 2028.
Microsoft is internally projecting that the console could cost consumers between $1,200 and $1,800, unless they decide to subsidize the cost.

We desperately need Steam to let us filter out AI games. Force devs to tag their games with an AI tag so we can opt out of seeing AI games on our feed, just like we can opt out of seeing Adult Only games. Probably go from 8k demos to a couple hundred.
