14.2.2023
You can joke about fingers all you want, but the reason AI-generated imagery is perceived as a threat and not just an idle curiosity is its ability to pass for actual, human-created artwork. On the extreme end of the scale that’s a threat to accurate news reporting, and on the more harmless...

The vulva saga continues.

Report: EA Paying $588 Million For The Rights To The English Premier League
13.2.2023
Programming and gameplay be damned, sports games live and die on their licensing. It’s why Madden was able to crush NFL2K, and it’s why EA’s FIFA (now known as EA Sports FC) has been able to grind Konami’s PES into the dust. Not because they’re better games, but because they paid to be the only...

The Best (And Worst) Super Bowl Video Game Ads
10.2.2023
You might be wondering why a video game website like Kotaku is writing about sports, but the connection between games and sports runs much deeper than the annual release of Madden. One of the most prevalent cultural links between video games and football, even to those who don’t care about...
