BioWare staff "should be given the first opportunity and the federal support" to buy the studio and keep it running, says Canadian political party leader
Hope. It's in short supply at the moment. Regardless, I hope that something a Canadian politician's proposed in a post scoring easy likeability points at the expense of EA's recently installed owners comes to pass, no matter how unlikely it is to do so at this point. Rather than being unceremoniuously shuttered , leaving the world staring down the barrel of a future without new games from a storied studio, BioWare should be handed over to its staff with backing from the Canadian government.

"This was not a Creative Assembly developed game": Total War boss points the finger at external partner for Shogun 2 Complete Edition disaster
Last week, Creative Assembly and Sega pulled Total War: Shogun 2's remastered Complete Edition from Steam , after an avalanche of complaints about technical problems and some AI-generated art. Now, Total War vice president Roger Collum has written a personal apology, while pinning some of the blame on an unnamed external partner. He's also clarified Creative Assembly's stance on generative AI, conceding that the studio do use it to help with "analysis, debugging, or speedy prototyping", but that they're against using it to generate game assets and art.

Mansion of the Doomed.

Woim is the earth-guzzling, self-bisecting sokoban pick-me-up I needed after a week of games industry disasters
While ladling city-builders into the Maw's feeding trough this week, I remarked that being a worm must really suck. Then came the closure of BioWare , layoffs across other EA studios , further depressing genAI revelations , allegations of antisemitism at indie gaming events , a big Capcom data breach , and yet more worrying tidyings about Arkane . I rescind my earlier observation: I would like to be a worm. A happy little worm, tunnelling after golden apples in the moist and forgiving earth, where there are no emails or press releases at all. The only thing I have to worry about down here is my butt growing so big I get stuck behind it. And also getting chopped in half by sliding doors, but it turns out this may actually help with the first problem. See for yourself - video below. Read more
