Can't tell if these boomers are out of touch or just playing dumb. The creativity ain't gone the industry just prioritizes garbage for the "modern audience."
PlayStation creator Ken Kutaragi thinks the games industry has hit a creative wall
Kutaragi said games have grown massively in scale and graphics, but the way developers create them hasn’t changed much since the original PlayStation era.
He still sees a lot of potential and believes the industry is at a major turning point and ready for its “next stage.”
His message to the next gen of devs is simple: don’t just copy what already works. Keep experimenting, try new things, and stay curious.
“The moment you lose your curiosity and think, this is probably as good as it gets, it’s all over.”

DroidDeck is an open-source project trying to turn supported Android handhelds into something much closer to a DIY Steam Deck.
It brings Steam Big Picture to Android, runs Windows games through Valve’s Proton/FEX stack, and can install a Linux desktop alongside emulators including RPCS3, ARMSX2, Dolphin, DuckStation, PPSSPP and RetroArch.
The latest beta can even replace the Android home screen and act as the main gaming interface.
Hardware support is still limited, so this is enthusiast territory for now.
But the direction is interesting.
Android handhelds are slowly becoming machines where you choose the hardware, frontend, emulators and game ecosystems yourself.

I’ll say it right now: gooning is just as bad for gaming as feminism, if not worse.
LOOK AT THE GIRL FROM MY GAME!

David Jaffe is living proof that you can respect the craft without respecting the person.
Bro made a great game and has been saying completely retarded shit ever since.
Can't decide if racist MAGA is gonna love or hate this Gears skin.
On one hand, it looks like a KKK White Power guy so they'll love that.
On the OTHER hand, it costs $20 and the money goes to suicide prevention+depression treament, two things they prob think are for losers.

These people are activists and mentally ill. They use video games as a vehicle for their propaganda. We need to remove these people from gaming.
Apparently the Gears E-Day developers don't like some politics and clearly have their preferences.
I mean its okay in your life, but don't try to push your agendas in games.
They allow you to write Obama but Trump is banned.
Thanks for the find @Mangalawyer

NEW GTA VI STORY DETAILS
Rockstar has revealed more about what it's building with Jason, Lucia and modern Vice City:
• Jason and Lucia were intentionally written as opposites. Lucia is actively chasing a better life, while Jason is more likely to let circumstances decide where he ends up.
(It's a subtle feminist inversion: the woman is given the drive and agency, while the man is positioned as the more passive character. Keep an eye on whether that pattern carries through the full story.)
• Both were written to be vulnerable, tough and flawed, sometimes right, sometimes wrong, and capable of learning from each other.
• Lucia is described as "perfectly imperfect" and "undeniably real," with her own motivations rather than simply existing alongside Jason.
• Their crime spree is described as hopeful and naive, pushing things further without thinking about the consequences.
• The American Dream appears to be one of the story's major themes, not only extreme wealth, but ordinary goals like owning a home, supporting a family and getting out of debt.
• Rockstar sees Miami and South Florida as a natural pressure point for that conflict between wealth, ambition and everyday survival.
• Satire is still a major part of GTA VI, with the modern world exaggerated into something more insane, grotesque, and larger than life.
(Previous reporting indicated Rockstar was toning down some of its humor to avoid "punching down" at certain groups, so keep your expectations low.)
