GAME STUDIOS RARELY SHARE THE SECRETS OF THEIR SUCCESS.

A great game can spawn countless imitators — look at Breath of the Wild or Stardew Valley — and it’s all but unheard of for a company to tell its competitors the magic formula. But accessibility is increasingly becoming a notable exception to that rule.

God of War Ragnarok — a continuation of the 2018 adventures of the grizzled warrior Kratos and his tween son Atreus, and the ninth installment of a venerable PlayStation franchise — is the most accessible game in the series yet. To help make that vision a reality, the team at Santa Monica Studio turned to the folks at Naughty Dog, known for its boundary-breaking innovations for players with auditory, visual, and motor differences.

In keeping with that spirit of open collaboration, Lead UX Designer Mila Pavlin says the team at Santa Monica Studio isn’t interested in keeping the 70+ accessibility innovations in God of War Ragnarok a secret.

Lots to chew on in Microsoft’s emphatic response to UK’s Competition and Markets Authority, which recently demonstrated skepticism of MS’ $70 billion bid to buy Activision Blizzard (which includes King; don’t forget legit mobile powerhouse King!)

Game studios publicly criticize Roe v. Wade ruling

Several major game studios and the largest organization for international game developers explicitly or implicitly criticized today’s U.S. Supreme Court ruling removing federal protections for abortion in America.

Alors que la Cour Suprême américaine a décidé que le droit à l’avortement n’était pas protégé par la constitution américaine, permettant aux Etats de l’interdire, plusieurs studios de jeux vidéo militent pour ce droit en le rendant plus aisé d’accès à leurs collaboratrices.

Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga has led to extensive crunch at development studio TT Games - Polygon

late 2017, development studio TT Games began work on Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga at a time when dozens inside the company were at odds with management. Citing frustration over tight development schedules, the company’s crunch culture, and outdated development tools, more than 20 current and former TT Games employees tell Polygon that calls for change over the years had largely been ignored.

In late January, roughly 30 current and former TT Games employees spoke anonymously to Polygon (and myself) about the culture of crunch and mismanagement at both its Knutsford and Wilmslow offices. The final report highlighted instances of premeditated crunch, mishandled projects, and allegations of sexual harassment that occurred under the company’s former management, in addition to complaints of micro-management under the new leadership that had arrived from Sony. Former employees claimed these factors were responsible for a large turnover of staff over the last few years, with at least forty people leaving the two studios since the beginning of 2021, though that number has since grown considerably.
