1. Adi Shankar Was “Unhappy” With ‘Devil May Cry 5’ Because It Took Spotlight Away From His Netflix Series: “I Thought The Franchise Was Dead; I Thought I Was Bringing This Thing Back”

   1. Adi Shankar responds.

2. Baldur's Gate 3 dev calls Randy Pitchford's $80 Borderlands 4 comments "gross" because it implies the FPS is more important than "making it day to day"

   1. "Real fans are people who love & understand what you do, keep track, and engage with your shit regardless of how much they spend," Douse added. When asked whether Baldur's Gate 3 would also have had a $80 asking price, Douse said even if it did, "we would probably not suggest people do whatever they can to buy it, lest they not be real fans."

3. ‘Marathon’ Isn’t Canceled, But It’s Bad We Even Have To Ask That

   1. Colin Moriarity: “I was told by someone familiar with marketing plans in a key overseas market that there are now no plans to do paid marketing for Marathon at all, I don't know if those plans were affected by what has recently happened or if that was always the plan or whatever but it is considered a fairly unusual move for a game of this high profile.”

4. Mortal Kombat 1: We are hearing players’ requests for continued game support of Mortal Kombat 1, and, while we will continue to support Mortal Kombat 1 through balance adjustments and fixes, there will not be additional DLC characters or story chapters released from this point on. We understand this will be disappointing for fans, but our team at NetherRealm needs to shift focus to the next project in order to make it as great as we possibly can.

5. The composer of the Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan TV drama and films, Naruyoshi Kikuchi, revealed that the soundtrack of the At a Confessional live action film was fully composed by AI. In 2022 and 2023, he also used AI to compose two tracks. They were used in the Rock-Paper-Scissors Kid episode and Rohan au Louvre.
