Troy Baker is arguably the most high-profile voice actor in videogames, and undoubtedly one of the most prolific. You can’t get away from the dude: he’s been Indiana Jones, Joel in The Last of Us, Ocelot in Metal Gear Solid, Bioshock’s Booker DeWitt, Uncharted’s Sam Drake, and the list goes on and on (and on)….
GamesIndustryMindsEye developer Build a Rocket Boy is facing new legal action filed by the Game Workers branch of the Independent Workers’ Union of Great Britain, the largest game worker union in the UK.

Deezer might not be the first name that comes to mind when we think of music streaming, but it’s still got skin in the game. The platform receives a huge number of uploaded tracks every day, and according to a new press release, “nearly 75,000” of those are fully gen AI-created tunes. That’s 44% of…
My pet demon is far stronger than I intended and sometimes I’m not sure he needs me. Poor guy doesn’t even have a proper name—he’s just the demon that shows up when I press the Rampage button. He smashes everything apart while I run along behind him cleaning up stragglers. Need to Know What is…

It’s a wonderfully thoughtful story, one which leaves some nice wiggle room for me to create my own narrative for who this…
The Playdate is a curious little device. It’s a handheld console with a crank built into the side, which developers can make use of for in-game controls. What devs can’t do anymore, though, is get their games accepted onto the Playdate Catalog store if they use generative AI “for art, audio, music, text, or dialog.”…
