Between Tim Sweeney being an absolute AI chud and the harassment of our beloved @kenney.nl, we've decided to cancel our previously announced Epic Games Store release for Shape Sender Deluxe 🚮

With his recent comments on AI-Generated CP, I have updated the size of the final bullet point to reflect upon the severity of it.
Epic Games: Laid off 850 people last year Sells off Bandcamp after they unionize, briefly leaving them in jeopardy Allows Crypto/NFT games Still pushing into the Metaverse years too late Promotes GenAI content in Fortnite and their engine as the future of game development Tim Sweeney is an idiot

I usually check out as many games as possible in Next Fest, but the tidal wave of AI trash has beaten me Non-AI indie devs please post your games below and I'll check em out instead Also @steampowered.com PLEASE add an option to filter out AI games in searches. It's killing discoverability #gaming

Ebay started doing this a quite a while ago, unfortunately. The toggle to turn off AI training is here: accountsettings.ebay.com/ai-preferences
eBay users! Don't ignore today's email, even though it looks like a boring standard update to the User Privacy Notice. They want to use your data to train AI models. If you click the link over the words "the right to object", it takes you to a page with a toggle button letting you opt out.

Never been a more moral time to be buying indie games instead of the Big Boys. It's like getting your coffee from the locally owned cafe on the high street instead of a massive bucket of watered down piss slurry from EvilCoffeeCorp that burns down the rainforest. Buy indie, they have your back.
NEW: Epic Games has delayed its upcoming (not yet announced) Star Wars + Marvel shooter as it pivots to complete AI game development. "No more hand-written code," a director told staff. All art "generated with full AI workflows." Full scoop: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

I heard the term ‘meat proxy’ recently, meaning someone who places themself as a human middleman between an employer and genAI, and it is simultaneously a perfect term for the practice, and existentially depressing when you realise how many want to nominate themselves for the role.
Do indie games need someone like me, who prompts AI to make marketing materials?

This story is nightmarish. archive.is/uHshA for the depaywalled version. (I have a Wired subscription but there doesn't seem to be a "gift link" option.)
There is a corner of the internet I had never heard of before I started reporting this story. It’s called the “burnerverse”: a network of anon burner accounts ostensibly discussing college sports. But they have another goal: destroying young girls’ lives.🧵: www.wired.com/story/burner...

One last look inside Tippett Studio. The legendary f/x house is closing, and its models, props & precious artifacts are being sold off. I spent a day inside the workshop, surrounded by Star Wars, RoboCop, Jurassic Park & decades of handmade movie magic. www.popculturalprecursors.com/p/one-last-l...
