Also speaking of AI hell world the Ren'py thing is a really great example of programmer vs user disconnect. The concern most people have is not "is the code good enough" it's "hey I don't want to use something built on this massively polluting engine based on endless IP theft."
Ubisoft EMBARGOED news to outlets about the layoffs and studio closures, FYI.
Employees were told this morning. And then many reached out to us.
Companies trying to embargo layoffs and closures might be the most embarrassing thing I've ever seen in my 16 years.

Ubisoft Winnipeg is shutting down, as first reported by @insider-gaming.com & later verified by @mobilesyrup.com.
This is just a few months after the closure of Ubisoft Halifax.
Very sad & honestly infuriating to see this keep happening, especially given the billions Ubisoft has gotten from Canada.
1/3 of the game industry has lost their job in the last two years. Ubisoft closed two more studios today. Everyone is out of work. To that end I'm starting a new bundle to benefit a layoffs hardship fund. Game devs: please consider submitting your PAID games to the bundle, which will launch in July.
Hi! I'd like to talk to some folks (actors or animators or other related jobs) with expertise in performance capture and how it works for a story on Kotaku! Nothing spicy, this is a fun one, please hit me up if you're interested via email or Signal in my bio. Thanks!
