There will be no apologies for putting the bassline from Queen’s ‘Another One Bites the Dust’ theme tune in your head here, but another games studio has indeed bitten the dust within a few weeks of completing work on its latest game. Pieces Interactive had recently completed work on the Alone in the Dark reboot after being taken over by Embracer in 2017 after previously working with Paradox Interactive, Koei Tecmo, Arrowhead Game Studios, and Koch Media. While there have not been any official quotes as yet from either Embracer or Pieces Interactive, a visit to the Pieces website now merely shows a black graphic with the studio logo and the legend ‘2007-2024 – Thanks For Playing With Us’ pic.twitter.com/Ut7KqSh1tv — Pieces Interactive (@PiecesInt) June 17, 2024 Besides the recent Alone in the Dark reboot – which was beset with initial problems before being fixed up quickly after launch, Pieces Interactive is probably best known for its work on Titan Quest expansions, after which it was one of the many studios hoovered up by the Embracer Group as it went on a mass acquisition spree. Now, with Alone in the Dark released it seems Embracer could find no further use for the Swedish studio as the trend for mass industry layoffs – many after teams finish their projects – continues unabated despite record industry profits. Ironically the Pieces Interactive website still has its Careers page up, albeit with no open positions. Alone in the Dark remains on Steam for $35 at the time of writing where it presumably will receive no further support. While not a prolific poster on X, indeed having posted seemingly just three times on the platform in two years, the last three posts are poignant, consisting of 2022’s Alone in the Dark announcement, March’s Alone in the Dark release, and now today’s shuttering. The games industry in three tweets everybody.

A week ago, after BRETT reached its all-time high, the price suddenly dipped slightly but surged by 4% in the past 24 hours, raising questions about how high BRETT can go. After months of non-stop growth, meme coins like Brett and other top tokens have faced heavy selling and are now trading at lower prices.

As the expansion of artificial intelligence has left many fearing for their jobs and questioning the future stability of several industries, copywriters are amongst the first to feel the impact. A recent academic report has found the demand for digital freelancers in writing and coding has declined by 21% since the launch of ChatGPT in November 2022. Writing, software, and app development-related roles saw a 21% decrease in job listings and data entry and social media post-production jobs experienced a 13% drop. While it may seem like AI has taken over copywriting completely, those in the industry are finding themselves turning to editing positions as the need to make the content sound more human has become a necessity. Speaking with the BBC, a writer under the pseudonym Benjamin Miller explained how his once-fulfilling work has turned into fixing the shoddy work of a robot: “Mostly, it was just about cleaning things up and making the writing sound less awkward, cutting out weirdly formal or over-enthusiastic language. “It was more editing than I had to do with human writers, but it was always the exact same kind of edits.

Over the weekend we took a look at Kunos Simulazioni’s next game in the Assetto Corsa universe – Assetto Corsa Evo as the highly anticipated follow-up gets ready to show itself properly for the first time. Things look a little more uncertain for stable mate Assetto Corsa Competizione however with minor livery updates confirmed for 2024 but the studio stopping short of confirming any ongoing plans past the end of the year for ACC. In the same interview with Multiplayer.it (in Italian if you fancy giving your Duolingo skills some practice) Kunos Simulazioni Co-founder Marco Massarutto said, “With (Assetto Corsa Competizione), we have all the plans confirmed up to and including ‘24/ We are waiting for the 24 Hours of Spa (part of the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup) because there are a whole series of new liveries for the cars to implement and then close the, let’s say, the 2024 season.” Nothing confirmed for 2025 at this stage He continued, “On ‘25 we don’t give confirmations because at the moment we are completely focused on Evo,” concluded Massarutto. Assetto Corsa Competizione is the official GT World Challenge videogame and a follow-up to the hugely successful Assetto Corsa.
