holy fucking shit Epic won

this is huge, massively positive news for the games industry at large! Epic isn’t an angel but their case and cause on this was 110% the correct decision

App Store not being able to gate 3rd party purchases in the US is !!!!!

7K people laid off in gaming & that number could possibly be higher because companies haven't released numbers.

We need to seriously have a conversation about unionizing.

I truly believe it needs to be INDUSTRY wide-- not individual studios or departments.

We're stronger TOGETHER.

Unity AI beta at GDC 2026: type 'make a casual game', get boilerplate. Then comes the licensing trap and the gameplay coherence wall. Genie 3 already cost Unity 25 percent of its stock.

If you ship a Unity product on Android, Windows, MacOS, and/or Linux, pay close attention.
Couldn't figure out how Unity could have a global security risk, cus it's just a stand-alone app, they don't work like that, and there were two options:

1.) The connection that Unity forces to mothership for analytics (thank gods that wasn't it)

2.) Do you rely on arbitrary code exec? Mods? Oops.

For those coming to BluSky from "Twitter",

Here's a Feed you can follow for GameDev News.

(It's mostly people calling Unity's recent upsetting decisions, but that will settle down eventually)

Godot maintainers are drowning in AI slop. Hundreds of LLM PRs land every week. Hallucinated APIs, fake bug fixes, full time junk review. Open source is not free, it runs on humans.
