Garry Newman, creator of Garry’s Mod and CEO of Facepunch Studios, sat down at GDC with PC Gamer’s Chris Livingston to discuss… well, loads of things, from the history of Gmod to Rust to the imminent release of the studio’s new game creation platform, s&box (which will apparently carry a similar price tag to Gmod).Despite…
Nostalgia’s a weird, often powerful force. Though not necessarily one for good. Nostalgia can easily filter the past through rose-tinted refactored memories, creating an undeserved sense of positivity around something purely by virtue of the distance of time.

As soon as Anran’s in-game model got revealed in Overwatch, there were calls from her voice actor and fans alike to redesign her face. She looked younger and more generic than her pre-release artwork, and it just didn’t match. In a video on X, game director Aaron Keller confirmed that the team was “hoping to…
Turns out relying on AI-assisted vibe coding or similarly generative tools for major tech infrastructure has some drawbacks—who could’ve foreseen this? Apparently, Amazon may have some regrets.Earlier this week, the e-commerce team at Amazon arranged a “deep dive” meeting with a number of engineers to investigate what led to a series of outages. A briefing…
The CEO of Hasbro (the company that owns Wizards of the Coast, which in itself makes D&D and Magic: The Gathering) has been effusive and cheery about AI in the past, saying that the fact all his mates are using it in his home games is a signal “we need to be embracing it” back…
