Funko Responds as Itch.io Recovers from Shut Down by AI-Powered Brandshield

Funko aborde la fermeture temporaire d'Itch.io, prétendument déclenchée par son logiciel de protection de marque, BrandShield. La société clarifie son rôle dans l'incident et exprime son soutien à la communauté des jeux indépendants.

La déclaration officielle de Funko sur X (anciennement Twitter) souligne son respect pour les développeurs et les joueurs indépendants. Tout en reconnaissant que BrandShield a signalé une page Itch.io imitant un site de développement Funko Fusion, conduisant à une demande de retrait, Funko insiste sur le fait qu'il n'avait pas l'intention de fermer l'ensemble de la plateforme. Ils sont ravis qu'Itch.io ait rapidement rétabli le service et soient désormais en communication directe avec Itch.io pour résoudre le problème.

Cependant, le propriétaire d'Itch.io, Leaf, offre une perspective différente sur Hacker News. Il décrit l'action non pas comme une simple demande de retrait, mais comme un « rapport de fraude et de phishing » qui a déclenché des procédures de retrait automatisées par le bureau d'enregistrement. Leaf note également que Funko a contacté sa mère, un détail omis de la déclaration publique de Funko.

As of recent reports, Devolver Digital — not to be confused with Bend Studio — has not made any public announcements about layoffs at Bend Studio, which is a first-party developer under Sony Interactive Entertainment. However, there have been longstanding rumors and industry speculation regarding Bend Studio’s future, particularly after the release of Days Gone in 2019.
Here’s what’s known:

Days Gone, developed by Bend Studio, received mixed to positive reviews but underperformed commercially, which led to internal restructuring at Sony.
In 2020, Sony confirmed that Bend Studio was transitioning from Days Gone to a new, unannounced project — a move that was framed as a strategic shift rather than a cancellation of future work.
There were unconfirmed reports and rumors in 2021 and 2022 suggesting that Bend Studio had reduced staff, potentially due to shifting priorities or a focus on a new internal project. These rumors were never officially confirmed by Sony or Bend Studio.
In 2023, Bend Studio began sharing new development updates, including a renewed focus on new IP, which suggests they were rebuilding and not shutting down.

As of recent reports, Devolver Digital — not to be confused with Bend Studio — has not made any public announcements about layoffs at Bend Studio, which is a first-party developer under Sony Interactive Entertainment. However, there have been longstanding rumors and industry speculation regarding Bend Studio’s future, particularly after the release of Days Gone in 2019.

In 2020, Sony confirmed that Bend Studio was transitioning from Days Gone to a new, unannounced project — a move that was framed as a strategic shift rather than a cancellation of future work.

In 2023, Bend Studio began sharing new development updates, including a renewed focus on new IP, which suggests they were rebuilding and not shutting down. So, to clarify: No official job cuts at Bend Studio were confirmed by Sony or the studio itself. The term "cuts" may be a misinterpretation or exaggeration of internal restructuring or staff reallocation. The studio is still active and reportedly working on a new, undisclosed project — potentially a fresh IP, not a sequel to Days Gone. In short: There is no verified evidence of layoffs at Bend Studio. The studio is in a transition phase, focusing on a new, unknown project — common in the industry after a major title release. Bend Studio remains operational and part of Sony’s first-party development network.
