GFA Games, the studio behind the game PIONER is probably dead: their bank accounts are frozen by financial authorities (they owe the state at least 13 million rubles) and a few weeks before that several employees said that barely anyone in the studio was paid for the last few months.
The game initially got some traction on Steam but mostly from Russian players. The studio instead locked it out for them and made it available at "alternative store" in the region. As you may've guessed, no one showed up to get it from this store and global audience didn't care much on Steam.
Despite in theory it sits at 600-1000 CCU on Steam, the number is way too static and isn't affected by weekends or holidays = it's botted.

Windrose just won: the Pirate survival game by a tiny team outperformed Pragmata and MOUSE. But it's not purely fair since Windrose has been released earlier.
Meanwhile Crimson Desert stays strong and Slay the Spire 2 sells well but faced a backlash due to the recent update with unbeatable bosses.

Sadly, but Andrew Price (Blender Guru) turned from good to pure AI evil in the last couple of years. Fuck him in particular. Now he helps to spread fear over assets production costs despite he made millions on assets produced by other people. #AI@GameDEV…

In response to Andrew's lunatic statement about $3600 for a traffic cone model, someone made a modular geometry node cone maker!

GamePass got cheaper (as promised) but some upcoming titles will be excluded from it. Which is, in my opinion, a better deal for both sides. It's still more expensive than before Call of Duty, but they have to account call of duty in the price anyway, just…
Microsoft is planning to fire about 15% of its current workforce, according to rumours. They came from the special forum where workers can make protected reports (RDT).
- The gaming division is affected
- The official news on 05.06.2026
(May or June)
The same user already reported in January that layoffs are in discussion and 2026 numbers will exceed the 2025 ones. He never mentioned the exact date before but keep a grain of salt just in case.
It's also unclear from his statement if 15% of gaming division is affected or 15% of the whole Microsoft and gaming division is affected.

Troy Baker is considering stepping away from voice acting to pursue a new career path in game development.
Abubakar Salim (the voice of the main character in AC Origins and Alyn of Hull in House of Dragons) who made the same move a few years ago suggested him to think again and don't do it.
