War in Ukraine: A studio reviews its communications in light of the situation
In particular, Wargaming is the origin of titles like World of Tanks or World of Warship and is one of those designers whose war simulations are recognized for their advertising campaigns, considered very inciting and “pro-war”. Given the current situation, the Belarusian company decided to urgently review and redesign its advertising campaigns, with the aim of removing all modern vehicles to avoid problems. A revised communication, but also decisions given that the company recently fired one of its creative directors who spoke out on Facebook in favor of the Russian operation. You should know that Wargaming has a studio in Kyiv and is doing everything possible to help the employees and has announced a donation of one million dollars to the Ukrainian Red Cross.
Elden Ring: George RR Martin’s work on the soft
George RR is undoubtedly one of those authors who create more than a story, but an entire universe. So natural when the announcement of his collaboration with Hidetaka Miyazaki rang out. Thus, Elden Ring becomes the child of the creator of the Iron Throne and the designer of souls, an offspring in which, in the end, players quickly sought kinship with the author of the novel. This questioning is due to the fact that once in the game we hardly recognize Martin’s work. The game still seems so nebulous and reading all item descriptions is still necessary to understand it. The explanation is not complex in the end, the author has restrained his creativity in order to be guided by the basics of From Software games. As a fan of the studio, George RR Martin immediately understood and designed the atmosphere, concepts, characters and wrote object descriptions. Miyazaki announced that this type of collaboration gives the teams free rein to forge the Elden Ring experience and not be limited to a scenario that still reflects their philosophy, “in our games, the story must always follow the player experience serve.”
Steam designer Valve talks about NFTs
For almost 20 years, Valve has been #1 in PC sales and often speaks out, most notably through Gabe Newell, the company’s co-founder. Valve is taking advantage of the Steam Deck release to comment on topics such as NFTs, Game Pass, Steam Deck 2, and more. As part of this machine-centric communication, we’ll be quick to relay that Gabe Newell has supplied certain consoles himself, but Xbox Game Pass was mentioned by saying that Valve is open to integrating the offering into Steam and it’s easy is Imagine the approach to the machine. The important point remains Valve’s position on NFTs. Several playful games using a blackchain system have already been blocked, but during an interview, Gabe Newell bluntly revealed that this environment of NFT and others contains a lot of criminal activity and bizarre behavior. He makes it clear that the problem does not come from the technology, but from the market participants and that the volatility of a value is also problematic for them. With this, Gabe Newell defends Valve’s editorial policy and announces the color.
