Pathfinder RPG Maker Paizo Will Voluntarily Recognize Workers' Union

It’s not often that any company recognizes a new union without being compelled to, generally because they’d prefer their workers to have as few rights and as little pay as they can get away with.

Nintendo delays 'Advance Wars' remake to spring 2022

Nintendo has delayed Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp. The company will release the remake in spring 2022 instead of December 3rd, 2021, as previously announced. “The game just needs a little more time for fine tuning,” it said of the delay.

Nintendo first announced the Switch title back at its E3 Direct back in June. The remake will bundle together “reimagined” versions of Advance Wars and Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising. The two games, long considered classics of the turn-based tactical strategy genre, first came out on the Game Boy Advance in 2001 and 2003. Intelligent Systems, best known for its work on the Fire Emblem franchise, was the lead developer on both titles.

Twitter adds one-click Revue newsletter signup buttons to tweets

Twitter is rolling out a way for people to sign up to Revue newsletters directly from tweets. When someone shares their Revue newsletter, the tweet will include a subscribe button. If someone clicks a link to a specific newsletter issue, they’ll see an option to subscribe when they return to their Twitter feed. The feature is live on the web now, and it’s coming to iOS and Android soon.

In addition, if your Twitter account is linked to an email address, you can sign up to receive newsletter updates with a single click. You won’t need to confirm your subscription through your email inbox.

The update should make it easier for people to convert Twitter followers into newsletter subscribers. It’s a big advantage for Revue over the likes of Substack and other newsletter services, since writers on those platforms have to guide potential subscribers through a slightly longer signup process.

Twitter recently added Revue newsletter signup buttons to profiles on the web, iOS and Android. The company bought Revue in January as the newsletter ecosystem continued to pick up steam.
