    Sam Altman says Meta has offered some OpenAI employees $100 million signing bonuses.

    So far, “none of our best people have decided to take them up on that,” according to Altman. He discussed Meta and other topics on an episode of his brother’s podcast.

    Warner Bros. Games is now focused on its biggest franchises.

    As part of a restructuring, it’s putting its efforts into four tentpoles: Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, Mortal Kombat, and the DC Universe, as reported by Variety. Let’s just hope the next DC Universe game fares better than Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.

    I see a new Hades II update.

    Among other things, The Unseen Update adds new forms for each of the game’s weapons, new boss fight variations, and, most importantly, a kickass new song from Scylla and the Sirens. The game just keeps getting better.

    There’s still no v1.0 launch date, but Supergiant Games is “starting to prepare” for the launch, according to a blog post. It’s currently in early access on PC, but when it hits 1.0, it’ll come out on Switch and Switch 2.

    A little more about the Nexus Mods news.

    As reported by PC Gamer, it turns out that Nexus Mods is now owned by a company called Chosen that, on its website, advertises itself as a better option than venture capital or private equity. In a pinned comment on yesterday’s blog post, it sounds like the new owners generally want to keep the site the same, but they acknowledge that building trust “takes time.”

    EA’s free-to-play Skate revival launches in early access at the end of the summer, developers Full Circle announced on Tuesday. If you want to try it sooner, sign up for the Skate insider program before June 27th.

    I’ve spoken with the development team twice to discuss things like why the game is free to play and about the enduring cool of skateboarding games.

    Microsoft is at an impasse with OpenAI over its Windsurf deal.

    Microsoft currently has access to all of OpenAI’s IP, according to their agreement. It offers its own AI coding product, GitHub Copilot, that competes with OpenAI. OpenAI doesn’t want Microsoft to have access to Windsurf’s intellectual property.

    The whole report, which is about cracks forming between the two companies, is worth a read.
