After the Tetris Company hinted that they might be eyeing legal action, Build the Wall is gone, replaced by a far more palatable 404 error message. Read more

"Material uncertainty" hangs over the future of Life is Strange developers Don't Nod beyond January 2027, as negotiations over potential layoffs begin

Life is Strange developers Don't Nod have acknowledged that there's "material uncertainty regarding the company's ability to continue as a going concern beyond January 31st, 2027", as they kick off negotiations with the union representing staff who could be laid off as part of a "transformation project". The proposed cuts, which could see up to 90 jobs eliminated, are the latest development in the studio's efforts to make their financial future look less like a road to ruin which might run its
