2023 in video games
In the video game industry, 2023 saw significant changes within larger publishers and developers. Microsoft, after having satisfied worldwide regulatory bodies, completed its $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard, making them the third largest game publisher in the world. Embracer Group, which had been in an acquisition spree over the previous few years, had an estimated $2 billion deal fall through, causing many of the studios under Embracer to either lay off staff or close entirely. Similar layoffs were seen at Unity, Amazon, ByteDance, Epic Games, Bungie, and Ubisoft, leading to over 9,000 jobs lost in the industry in 2023 and part of a larger trend of layoffs at technology companies in 2023.

It is typically seen in shallow rapids with rocky substrates and moderate levels of illumination. It is known to occur alongside the species Guyanancistrus brevispinis, Harttia fowleri, and Crenicichla ternetzi, as well as members of the genus Ancistrus. The species reaches 10.4 cm (4.1 inches) in standard length and may be a facultative air-breather.

Guyanancistrus longispinis was initially described as a species of Lasiancistrus in 1983. It was subsequently transferred to Guyanancistrus, then to Pseudancistrus, where it is still listed by sources such as FishBase. Despite this reclassification, a 2018 taxonomic review of Guyanancistrus recognized G. longispinis as a valid member of the genus.

It has also been reported from Guyana, but this is believed to be a misidentification. The species is considered the most common and abundant member of the genus Guyanancistrus, occurring in rocky streams with flowing water, especially in the vicinity of plunging waters. It is known to coexist with members of the genus Lithoxus in small forested creeks as well as rapids. The species reaches 14.2 cm (5.6 inches) in standard length.
