Bullfrog in the Dungeon

news.ycombinator.com Jimmy Maher 2025-11-19 11:10:18

In January of 1995, Electronic Arts bought the prestigious British games studio Bullfrog Productions for an undisclosed sum that was rumored to be in the neighborhood of $45 million. The lives of the 35 or so people who worked at Bullfrog were transformed overnight. Peter Molyneux, the man who had build the studio’s reputation on the back of his “god game” Populous six years earlier, woke up the morning after the contract was signed with real money to spend for the first time in his life.

If you've been unable to pay with PayPal on Steam, Valve says the limitation has to do with issues one of PayPal's banking partners has with content on the platform, according to Rock Paper Shotgun. Users have noticed PayPal was disabled in some regions as far back as July, and the issue seems like it might be out of both Valve and PayPal's hands.

Getting clones taken down can be an exhausting process for developers. Small studios have less time, energy and resources to dedicate to this process, and they’re at the whims of the digital distribution platforms these games exist on. Wren Brier, Unpacking’s creative director, says that since the game’s release in 2021, developer Witch Beam has reported over 80 clones. “It feels like whack-a-mole sometimes,” Brier says.

New York Takes Zelle to Court Over Alleged Fraud on the Platform, Claims $1 Billion Lost

Arguably, the entire selling point of Zelle as a platform is that it is owned by big banks that ostensibly are invested in making sure that your money is safe.

In a lawsuit against the money transfer, the top prosecutor for New York State claims that customers have lost more than $1 billion to fraud on Zelle, which was enabled by a lack of sufficient protections.
