Honestly, a bunch of indies self-labelling as 'triple i' feels a bit pretentious to me, but the intent seems good so I'm hoping it doesn't come off that way in practice.

Xbox UI has been a bit all over the place on Series S/X (and XB1, which shares most of the same design).

It's not terrible by any means, but it can be unintuitive at times and the updates to improve things tend to be 'two steps forwards, one step back'.

Hopefully 'narrative adventure' being one of the pillars means we'll get more games like Jusant!

"I talked to at least five small teams, like 35 [members] and under, during GDC, and they're like: Cuts, cuts, cuts, funding canceled, talks that were going on for a year, canceled," said Casey Yano, the co-founder of Slay the Spire studio Mega Crit. "It sounds like it's shit. We're definitely very privileged to be able to self-fund. [Otherwise] I'd be very, very, very scared right now."

If these deals didn't exist, lots of games simply wouldn't get made. You can hate on the platforms all you like but the deals are one of the only sources of funding for small & solo developers.

Misleading post - the tweet clearly says they're adding EA Anticheat. This has absolutely nothing to do with Easy AntiCheat.

It's literally just a 20-minute rant about Xbox Live. Doesn't even mention security until 15 minutes in, and that part is about players being able to get your IP address if you join a party chat.

Can they not just send a DMCA takedown notice to the host of that web server?

I can't even begin to imagine the potential confusion of watching in chronological order, given how many timeline shenanigans take place.

An interesting experiment if you've already watched everything, perhaps, but if you're just starting out then I'd say just watch in release order.

True, but if Nightdive get a deal to do it, I guarantee they'll use KEX like they have for all their other ports.

EA are still making Star Wars games (like Fallen Order); the loss of exclusivity just means other studios are finally allowed to make things too. Everybody wins!

There's a game called A Little to the Left that's a whole bunch of lovely organisational + sorting puzzles

Basically the entire Wadjet Eye catalogue, and the first two games in the Broken Sword series (then stop - the 3D ones are crap)
