Incredibly short-sighted to think that one of the most appealing aspects of console gaming simply doesn't matter to your audience, when the most engaged members of that audience are telling you in no uncertain terms that it absolutely does.

Really excited about this. Over the past year we've made dozens of site improvements, added a comments section under each article and expanded our team. It felt like the right time to finally start building some community, and a Discord is a natural first step toward that goal. Come join us :P

Just very, very sad to see this team unceremoniously deconstructed after what they've built over their decades-long history.

Does MS know that you need actual people to maintain an engine, or do they plan to let Copilot handle that?

Laying so much as a finger on Obsidian (who delivered like 30% of your first party output over the past generation) or id Software (who released one of the most successful, creative and technologically polished trilogies of the past decade) is straight up vandalism.

idgaf the numbers are what they are, and they don't even include console which heavily skews in Destiny's favor. This situation is absolute insanity - one of the most nonsensical, ass-backwards decisions I've ever seen.

I love when they dgaf any more and just start saying stuff.

The critics were too harsh on the first Mario movie. The critics were equally harsh on the Mario Galaxy movie, but they weren't nearly harsh enough. That Times reporter had the right of it. I wish I brought a pen with me.

Our team are devastated by this news. Patrick was an incredibly kind, generous and talented person. He truly loved this industry, and was so excited to cover it every day. His passion and enthusiasm were infectious. Just a huge loss. Our thoughts are with his family now. RIP Patrick, and thank you.

Vince Zampella was the absolute best to ever do it. Literally. His impact across publishers, studios, franchises and genres was unmatched. Commercially and creatively he was an absolute juggernaut. A tremendous loss for this industry, and to those who were close to him. Rest in peace.

I think a lot of the discussion around AI isn't specific enough or informed enough, and that's why this piece from @edmondtran.bsky.social is so useful and important. These are actual concept artists spelling out in clear, unambiguous terms why Gen-AI is not only unhelpful, it's a nuisance.

If Rockstar really is union busting, they cannot be allowed to get away with it. Every ounce of pressure matters, and having the British PM weigh in is probably not something Rockstar's executives saw coming: thisweekinvideogames.com/news/uk-prim...

UK Prime Minister Calls Rockstar Firings "Deeply Concerning"Scottish Labour MP Chris Murray said Rockstar didn't "reassure me they are following employment law and I share concerns about union busting"thisweekinvideogames.com

Don't expect the Steam Machine to console-priced: thisweekinvideogames.com/news/steam-m...

Steam Machine Price Will Be Close to PC of Similar Performance, Says ValveValve has spoken about its approach to the Steam Machine's price point, saying it expects a cost equivalent to the PC components inside it.thisweekinvideogames.com

Absolutely essential viewing from @chrisbratt.bsky.social on Rockstar’s sackings, which appear to be the single most flagrant example of union busting in the history of the videogames industry. Rockstar has provided absolutely zero evidence to support any of their claims. youtu.be/c9nOwjeznjI?...

Oof

Callous is a strong word but I do get where he's coming from. Obviously Team Cherry have the right to shadow drop a date, but given their blast radius it might have been better had other games (particularly smaller ones) had more heads up thisweekinvideogames.com/news/hell-is...

Oh we eating good this weekend. Review on the 25th of September #ghostofyotei

Not long now. In just a short time we'll finally be playing it (Garfield Kart 2 - All You Can Drift).

Such a great write up from @superdonk.bsky.social. He's a long time Skate enjoyer and honestly, his perspective is so illuminating since I only really remember the series for its funny bails. There's was so much more to it, and it seems as though big chunks of that stuff is missing in the reboot.

Idk what dial YouTube turned but they definitely did something. Viewership is inexplicably down around 30% for myself and many channels I watch/follow. I've never blamed the algorithm for anything in my 10 years on YT, but this is too obvious to ignore. Spoken to others who have noticed it, too.
