I mean given the massive industry layoffs over the past few years developers are already pretty used to not having jobs.
I hate how developers are the ones attributed to game industry problems. Decisions like this almost never fall on the developers shoulders, specifically the ownership quote was from their subscription service director. You know... the guy whose job depends on you not wanting to own games.
Things like unit tests I just have AI do it all now. Since running the test tells you your coverage you can verify if it got everything or not.

There's a good episode a few months back where the CEO of Logitech tries to justify the mouse subscription.
He's also one of the hosts of the Vergecast https://pca.st/podcast/5cda9490-4117-012e-1622-00163e1b201c
I did get an email from HIBP so at the very least they got my email
I'm just waiting for aGameScout to drop a video on this one. He's been doing excellent deep dives on every Tetris milestone
Hell yea. Our unit test coverage went way up because you can blow through test creation in second. I had a large complicated migration from one data set to another with specific mutations based on weird rules and GPT got me 80% of the way there and with a little nudging basically got it perfect. Code that would've taken a few hours took about 6 prompts. If I'm curious about a new library I can get a working example right away to see how everything fits together. When these articles say there's no benefit I feel people aren't using these tools or don't know how to use them effectively.
I love this. I feel like the internet used to be full of these crazy little art projects.
I have little faith in this. Neversoft doesn't even exist anymore, they were merged into Infinity Ward to be just another COD grunt. Vicarious Visions who made the wonderful THPS 1+2 also don't exist anymore and the team was merged into Blizzard to work on Diablo (maybe that's why last season was a banger). On the plus side of all these closures, Robomodo who made all the worst Tony Hawk stuff (Ride, Shred, THPS HD, THPS 5) is shut down completely so at the very least they won't get the project.
I've got one on the way Best Buy screwed up the pre-order and didn't get enough stock in so I'm left waiting. But yea seems like by all accounts it's roughly the size of a regular phone plus you get a small tablet when you want.
Just don't connect it to the internet and it's a dumb display, simple as that
Yea I've got a 65" OLED with Dolby Vision. I'd have a hard time going back to anything else. But why even worry about smart features at all when an offline TV is effectively the same as a monitor anyway for less money and more entertainment specific features.
Based on what? All apps just look like this now. If you blurred the content and told me this was the Netflix app, I'd be like yeah checks out.
