A Reddit user is crying that his GitHub Copilot price is going to be increased slightly (tenfold... no, almost 20 times). LOL, at that point, it yet again more affordable to find a human being...
More or less this is the real price of the technology when it's no longer supported by blind investments. AI slop kittens are $400 per short, and a month of part-time coding auto completion is $800.

Remember I recommended you We Happy Few during the whole previous week, since it was notoriously well written?
Well, the studio behind it is reportedly being closed. No official confirmation yet but South of Midnight was equally creative but didn't get enough sales. And it's not enough to make three games in 15 years.
The company is still making their next game, but Kotaku and Insider-Gaming reported that employees believe that closure "is just a matter of time".
Two months ago they were posting job openings, then last week several employees set green badges on LN.

Arkane, Double Fine, and Ninja Theory were added to the list for closure in addition to Compulsion Games. They all apparently negotiate independence from XBOX.
They may at best be left without their IPs but with core teams on their own. Even as independent entities they will have to run through significant layoffs.

Zenimax is also hit by layoffs beyond Arkane, the procedure will take some time, but unless an employee is working directly on Fallout or Elder Scrolls, they are in danger.
Imagine buying billions upon billions of assets to now slowly kill the whole thing. It's heartbreaking.

All three localisation requests for the new FABLE, previously removed from Microsoft feedback portal, were silently restored.
All of them were gaining huge amounts of upvotes and mostly positive comments. But also the proportional volume of reports which may triggered the automated protection that only works with certain absolute number without a context.
