I think the only thing that shocks me about any of that is the idea they were actually working on it.Ubi must've gotten jealous of seeing Acti-Blizz snaffle all the investigations.

Hmm, I sense a possible tax avoidance/rebate swindle going on with their numbers. It is WB, after all.
Just take it behind the shed Ubi and put it out of it's misery. Nobody wants to see the poor thing suffer anymore.

For a second there, I thought we were still talking about planned Assassin's Creed.

(Last time the gang counted it out I think Resident Evil was winning with like 50 something games)

They couldn’t figure out a way to monetize it, so of course it hit the scrap bin.
This is rather specific and rather local news; I found it more interesting that it is from the public service broadcaster and largest TV station in Sweden SVT:

They warn that there will be a lack of 25 000 video game developers by 2031 in Sweden and a lack of 5 000 video game developers in the southernmost county of Skåne by their future estimate.
Brist på spelutvecklare hotar det skånska spelundret: ”Ligger och oroar mig om natten”
År 2031 kommer Sverige att sakna minst 25 000 spelutvecklare, varnar branschen. I spelstaden Malmö är behovet stort – och trots att en ny utbildning med 50 studieplatser öppnar räcker inte det. – Risken är att vi tappar momentum, och att det blir färre spelprojekt som hamnar här, säger Johanna...

I wonder when we are gonna see some announcement trailer or gameplay trailer? SGF 2023?
Someone may have woken Microsoft up. While there are so many bundles, services, freebies and giveaways out there, Gold went from offering 4 new games a month to just 2. Well, March 2024 they're offering 3.
I've had Gold and PS+ since around 2013 and after 10 years, (doesn't take me two decades to figure some things out!) I am ready to let Gold lapse. We'll see if they change my mind.

It’s a good strategy on BN/FROM’s part really. A simple announcement with a single image gets people intrigued, asking questions, developing theories, etc. Then release a trailer maybe a month or two from now with a release date (a safe estimate would probably be by late fall if we go by past DLC announcements>release dates and take into account this will be bigger with huge expectations).
If you are asking me to translate the article, I've already given the key insights in my summary. Google Translate could be of use if you are more curious.
If you are asking me analyze the veracity of the news item, the analysis comes from the Swedish interest organization for game makers, so they obviously have bias in making sure they have a pool of talent available, and in general I am a bit doubtful about future predictions since a few bad years can upend a positive trend. Then again, it is possible that they have accounted for that, though when I read their latest report I see that there are currently about 8 000 video game developers in Sweden so I suspect they are being REALLY optimistic. Then again, they've grown with at least 11 % per year for the last 5 years, so extrapolating means a minimum of 18 000 developers by 2031. So I don't know.
If you are asking me what the overall impact will be, it will mean that either less video games will be developed in Sweden or more personell will be recruited abroad.
Oh, Paradox' California based developer Tectonic will finally reveal what they're working on? I am curious; my speculation has been that they are taking on The Sims after Cities: Skylines was a major success in taking on Sim City.Paradox Interactive has partnered with Xbox for a game announcement show | VGC
