Chucklefish has apologized following criticism that an upcoming DLC pack for its game Wargroove whitewashed its voice actor casting by hiring white voice actors to play three different characters of color.
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
Spiders: "We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.
What does it mean? This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. The planned DLC will release via Nacon, and then-- well, that's it.
We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years.
If you have any questions or run into issues with your games, please contact Nacon directly as we'll no longer be able to reply."
Today, Koei Tecmo announced its financial results for the full fiscal year 2025, related to the period between April 2025 and March 2026.
Once upon a time (like two years ago), it was considered "progressive" and "woke" to adopt hiring practices that intentionally eliminated identifying information from the process.
Applications and resumes would be scrubbed of anything that could potentially be used to discriminate against the applicant, including race and gender. Even names were left off in order to make sure that people were being chosen purely for their qualifications. This ensured that prospective hires were neither hired nor eliminated from consideration because of discrimination.
It sounds like that's exactly what Chucklefish was attempting to do here. So now it appears we've come full circle, and anti-discrimination practices are now racist. What a time to be alive.
It’s just voice acting
Look at the guy who plays Cleveland Brown
It annoys me that the goal doesn't seem to be getting the right voice for the job. Instead it seems the goal is supposed to be making sure you have exactly one of every possible meaningless skin pigmentation in your collection of actor Pokemon.
Are you kidding me?
Only people who need to apologize are the ones that see this as an issue. Voice acting should go to whoever's voice fits the role, not based on their race which in itself is prejudice. What are they supposed to find real aliens, mutants, and reptilians for fictional characters too?.
I friggin hate this modern age, it's dominated by the most braindead individuals ive ever seen.
