Testers at Lincoln painted a bleak picture, telling stories of an atmosphere in which crunch was mandatory, staff were expected to put phones in a locker while at work, and the blinds had to be closed to prevent fans from snooping. Read more

The one thing you need to do if you want to make an actual change in workplace culture is getting rid of dead and toxic pieces of wood in your company no matter of seniority or position. Read more

And this why Jason is the best. Expose article that’s reported well, and then follow up when things look like they’re changing. I hope that Jason gets to write as many “They’re doing better” follow-up articles as he can. “Blood, Sweat, & Pixels 3: They’re learning” Read more

Improving the culture of a company is a hard thing to do that takes a lot of time. I hope that it works out for all the people on the ground at Rockstar. To make the culture of a company worse, all you really have to do is to start an herb garden. Read more

“To solve crunch, probably the best you could say: don’t try to make Game of the Year.” Read more

So, is this the beginning of another multiverse? Read more

Outer Wilds has an ‘i’ in it because ‘I’ played it.  Read more

Now, assuming you can get G/O Media’s broken comments system to function for you, discuss! What’d you think of that ending? Read more

Hmm....

What is, and this is a BIG what if, but what if Zack comes back...and Sephiroth kills Cloud instead of Aerith?

I enjoyed your little spotlight on NPR this morning! Was not expecting to hear a familiar name during the segment! Read more

This feels like a game that hits my ultimate weakness absolutely square: Read more

I was watching some playthroughs (I know I shouldn’t) that were up to 10 hours into the game and I was pleasantly stunned by how much they expanded it. I’m not just talking about the story, but the dialogue too. Nearly all the dialogue is new and yet it matches the characters perfectly, whether it’s exposition, a Read more

But can Square release it early on PSN Store? Noooooooooo Read more

On the plus side, hearing more Red XIII is nice. That is one buttery voice. Read more

And finally a conclusion to our thrilling saga.  Good on them for doing the right thing,  after a few wrong things,  but still.   Read more
