    AI Driving Game Demo Forces Developer to Take Out Bank Loan to Keep It Running

    Easy Fox, the developer of Teach My Little Sister How to Drive, has taken out a bank loan to keep the AI-powered demo running as daily costs reach $1,000. Demo players grew more than twentyfold over the past month, and the four-person team says financial pressure may force it to close the demo earlier than expected. The game uses Google Gemini and ChatGPT for its dynamic NPC, and the paid release will factor expected AI usage into its price.

    EU consumer authorities launch coordinated action against 10 game companies over virtual currency practices

    European consumer protection authorities announced a series of coordinated actions against 10 video game companies, accusing them of dark patterns that put minors and players at risk of gaming addiction. The action, coordinated by the European Commission, focuses on practices such as premium in-game currencies that obscure real-world spending, selling virtual currency in set quantities that force overspending, and insufficient parental controls. The article cites Destiny 2's Silver bundles of 500, 1,000 and 1,500 units against item prices of 600 to 1,500 Silver, and notes Fortnite will let players buy the exact amount of V-Bucks they need starting October 14, a change also coming to Rocket League and Fall Guys but not PlayStation for now.

    Is the BioShock Movie Ever Going to Happen? Director Weighs In

    BioShock movie director Francis Lawrence said the team is "still working on a script" and believes "we're pretty close," adding he feels "really good about it." The project has been in development for more than a decade, and after Netflix took it over in 2022, a regime change led to it being scaled back into a more "personal" film. Producer Roy Lee said Lawrence could begin work on BioShock in 2027, with Michael Green and Justin Rhodes on the script and no cast announced yet.

    Undead Labs boss discusses layoffs and employee ownership after leaving Xbox

    Undead Labs studio boss Philip Holt said he is reluctant to share how many employees the studio lost as it became independent of Xbox, saying he would hate to reduce the impact on those individuals to a number or statistic. To gain independence, Holt set up a corporate entity called Full Measure that makes all employees shareholders, and said he submitted a management-led buyout offer that Microsoft thought was a good idea. Undead Labs was one of five studios divested in the initial round of Xbox layoffs, which affected 3,200 employees.

    In Arc Raiders, planks and sheet metal can be bought from Celeste for three seeds each, or 24 seeds for all you need for the Sheltered Retreat project. Planks are common in residential and old world areas like the houses in Old Town in southwest Pendola Pass, while sheet metal is plentiful in technological and industrial areas such as the Assembly and Loading Bay in Stella Montis, where yellow drawer containers seem to be a guaranteed drop.

    Gears of War: E-Day review: a return to the beginning

    Eurogamer's review calls Gears of War: E-Day a conservative but technically solid prequel whose campaign, Horde Siege, and Versus each have strengths and problems. Horde Siege splits 12 players into four-person squads that pick their own difficulty and complete objectives across the map, and the reviewer says 15 hours in it still produces emergent moments. The review also notes balance and mechanical issues in Versus and baffling checkpoints plus some repetitive beats in the campaign.

    Inside Double Fine's Failed Union Bid: All 8 Organizers Laid Off Two Weeks After Petition Withdrawn

    Kotaku spoke with 15 current and former Double Fine employees to reconstruct this year's failed union drive, in which 32 workers filed a petition with the NLRB on May 7 and withdrew it two weeks later. A month after the withdrawal, Microsoft spun Double Fine out as an independent studio and 23 people were laid off, including all eight organizing committee members who signed the withdrawal letter. Organizers say eligibility rules left out much of the studio, while Tim Schafer denied the layoffs were retaliation and said the studio's runway after the Xbox split is a matter of months.
