@TrickDacy @bonenode Could Quake 3 even run without a graphics card? It came out in late 1999 and was the best looking game at the time by far.

3·1 month ago@Jeffool That sounded highly over-dramatic even before I opened the article and saw that that’s the company that made MindsEye. 😆
They don’t have a Wikipedia page, but Wikipedia does have a page on the " massively multiplayer online game and game platform with an integrated game creation system" they are currently developing.

Yora@mastodon.gamedev.placetoGamedev•Amazon has confirmed plans to make approximately 14,000 people redundant within its corporate workforce, including staff within its video game division.
4·6 months ago@Jeffool I didn’t know Amazon’s video games division still existed.
I thought that was scrapped years ago, never having had released a single game.
Yora@mastodon.gamedev.placetoGamedev•A presidential proclamation has introduced a hefty fee for the H-1B visa route – but there are other options for bringing employees to the US
3·6 months ago@Jeffool Though no employee should agree to go into the US when illegal kidnappings by government thugs are happening in broad daylight every day, military troops are send out to intimidate state and city governments, and the former health ministry is actively spreading contagious diseases.
Yora@mastodon.gamedev.placetoGamedev•The games industry reacts to the shock buyout of EA
7·6 months ago@Jeffool “The size of the deal will likely require regulatory approvals”
Since one of the buyers is the son in law of the King of Trumpistan, approval by American “regulators” is already a done deal.
Yora@mastodon.gamedev.placetoGamedev•Ubisoft to restructure as "Creative Houses" as Q1 25-26 financials come in "lower-than-expected"
2·9 months ago@Jeffool How many employees will be restructured out of the company?

Gaming@lemmy.zip•EA CEO Andrew Wilson got a nice pay bump last year, while the company's workers earned less on average
61·10 months ago@ZippyBot How is that news? That’s the capitalist economic system working as intended.
Yora@mastodon.gamedev.placetoGamedev•Report: Meta has laid off over 100 Reality Labs employees
2·1 year ago@expatriado @Jeffool Oh, and aside from firing 100 developers (is that a lot?), the division also had an 18 billion dollar loss over the last year.
Yora@mastodon.gamedev.placetoGamedev•Report: Meta has laid off over 100 Reality Labs employees
2·1 year ago@expatriado @Jeffool I always considered it a fad for videogames. A tool with real potential for niche engineering applications, but that’s it.
Seems it might be dawning on developers as well.

The Gamers' Tavern•Nothing good will ever come from these cowboy, trust me
1·1 year ago@innkeeper @the_gamer_tavern Do these bros even herd any cattle?
@[email protected] In indie games, you also typically get a lot more games for your money.

PCGaming@fedia.io•How is it possible that is the same (mostly) Ubisoft that pulled the AAAA bullshit and made Valiant Hearts: the great war?
1·2 years ago@[email protected] I assume someone lower down the ladder misleading the higher ups and secretly diverting funds to a team too small to appear on their radar.





@Jeffool Haha!
