Controversial Miami attorney Jack Thompson has named Gawker Media, parent company of the popular game blog Kotaku, in a lawsuit before a federal court in Florida.
Thompson's ire was apparently raised by Kotaku reader comments which the attorney maintains are threatening. He also alleges in the complaint that Kotaku and Gawker declined to remove the menacing posts. The messages in question stem from Kotaku's coverage of Thompson's claims that video games prompted last week's Virginia Tech massacre.
The Gawker suit is actually an amendment to an action Thompson filed on March 13th against the Florida bar. On April 11th he amended it to include the members of the Florida Supreme Court. And now Gawker joins the list of defendants.
"They want you to believe the devs under them are super stoked to work generative AI into their processes," continued Gaider, "but I assure you what they took as excitement was really a veiled wail of despair not unlike the time that team was informed of their new 'really cool' live service mandate.".
I think anyone with some common sense knew this, im glad i don't support their games anymore, what a sh!t company.
I said this yesterday. AI isn't what we want when it comes to crafting artistry. Alas, these soulless corporate morons don't care about their work, only about cutting corners as much as possible.
Has the rapid growth of Xbox made the ship too heavy? Following the closures of Tango Gameworks, Arkane Austin, and Roundhouse, we explore what the future of Xbox could look like.
This ship was never meant to sail, this ship was made from the get go to sink as fast as possible. It almost feels that they want to lower the standards of quality in the industry so that they can fit in
Xbox has no soul and Phil has no confidence, and it's impossible to say either do when they killed Tango and Arkane Austin.
Everything they've said since has only made them look worse to a point that they're actually less competent than Embracer.
Whe you release something like the series S and expect it not to hurt your business model, and developers have to have parity with games. Then you know Microsoft don't care. Series s is the final nail that broke developers,
While on stage with Dina Bass at The Bloomberg Technology Summit the President of Xbox, Sarah Bond, was asked about the Xbox studio closures of Arkane Austin, Tango Gameworks, Alpha Dog, and Roundhouse Studios
Of course she did. She's part of the problem and will just tow the company line.
I always wondered why xbox had multiple leaders with similar titles like Phil Spencer, Matt Booty, and Sarah Bond, like, how many heads do you actually need?
Seems to me it would be more cost efficient to cut 2 of them instead of all those studios.
Lil Tommy is starting to get personal.
Give it a rest already. Isn't his 15 minutes up yet?
From the back of a cereal box?
the more he does that the more of a fool he looks like. Just like with MSNBC.
Even though i do wish he would just shut up.
Hey since jack is so paranoid about what people write about him, i hope he reads this.
1. Why sue a video game company when they are under the first amendment, and have ratings on their games? They are only expressing themselves, and the box gives warning to people. They just have to read it.
2. Since that is true, why not go after parents and educate them instead of blaming everything on video games? After all they should be monitoring what their kids watch. Why should the company babysit someone elses kid, especially when there is a rating on the box?
3. He takes some studys and preaches about them yet leaves out ones against his agenda such as the juvenile crime rate being very low especially when violent videogames are way much more prevalent.
4. he is very insensitive. Just look at what he did with the VT situation.
5. Violence does have an effect on people, but not as much as he makes it to be. Many times when someone sees something bad, and with good reason, they want to over exaggerate it to make it seem more scarier and its wrong. Thats exactly what hes doing!
Im just glad people are starting to realize how nuts he is.
This guy says he's trying to save lives. No he isn't! He's on a revenge spree. He should be burned at the stake as far as I'm concerned. Go and find some people who really want to save lives by getting rid of guns in the US, lowering poverty etc etc...improving foriegn policy (finger points at the UK as well...the worst place in Europe to bring up kids)
