Really enjoyed Ratcheteer DX, a fun, stylish little Zelda-like that only took me two hours to finish store.steampowered.com/app/3166150/...
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I'm hoping for more
As Square Enix gears up to officially reveal Part 3 of the Final Fantasy VII remake trilogy, I probed director Naoki Hamaguchi for some teases of what's coming.
Wutai? Yes. Space? Yup. Chocobo breeding? Not clear... www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...
I've heard it *compared* to Builders but this is much more than inspiration — it is very clearly a DQ Builders game with a new skin, all the way down to the little details (like when how your Pokemon all flock to you after you've done something cool)
I just started Pokopia and I'm a little peeved that nobody told me it's basically Dragon Quest Builders 3??
Asha Sharma’s first major move as Xbox boss is to announce their next console, which will operate as a living-room PC as expected, on X:
No Jew could be quiet for that long
One important piece of context here is that when someone buys a PlayStation, Sony doesn't just get their $500+. The company also gets 30% of *everything* they buy on the PlayStation Store. In other words, Sony makes the most money by getting as many people as possible on its consoles
NEW: Sony no longer plans to release PlayStation games on PC, sources tell Bloomberg News, a major shift in strategy that sees the console maker returning to exclusivity after six years of flirting with multiplatform.
Ghost of Yotei and Saros are not coming to PC. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

I've been really enjoying Esoteric Ebb, a narrative game that crosses Disco Elysium with Dungeons & Dragons by way of Douglas Adams. It's goofy and very entertaining. My favorite gag: the main character gets *really* excited any time it seems like an NPC might have a quest for him. Comes out today!
Before the Bloodborne pitch, Bluepoint had spent three years on a God of War live-service game that would feature Atreus in Hades. Read the full story: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

I for one appreciate that Disney decided to help aging millennials indoctrinate their children into their music by hiring Mark Hoppus (blink182) and Patrick Stump (Fallout Boy) to write songs for the Marvel kids' shows www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUbE...

As the story details, their key metric was retention rate, and by their own measure, retaining 10% of players after a week (5% after two weeks) certainly qualifies it as a flop
Yeah, Wildlight tried to keep it secret (not clear why)
NEW: Inside the failure of Highguard, which flopped so badly that developer Wildlight laid off most of its staff just two weeks after release.
Here's the story behind why people loved working at Wildlight, why Tencent pulled funding, and how it all fell apart: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...
Grand Theft Auto VI now coming September 14
There are two Burger Kings. One is always open, one is always closed. You can only ask one question to determine which is which

I know a lot of people are looking for industry analysis during these chaotic times, so here’s what I’ve got
BREAKING: Xbox boss Phil Spencer is stepping down, will be replaced by Microsoft AI platform president Asha Sharma. Sarah Bond is also leaving. Matt Booty staying.
Seismic news for the video-game industry.
Pomegranates!!!
The Eternal Life of Goldman is one of the most beautiful games of 2026. It's also nice to finally see some video-game representation for people like me: aging Jews with back problems.
For this week's column, I spoke to the director of this stunning platformer: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...
Roughly 70 employees will be impacted by the Bluepoint closure. Bluepoint was working on a God of War live-service game until it was canceled early last year. The studio then spent the last year pitching and trying to determine what it would do next. Full story: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
BREAKING: PlayStation is shutting down Bluepoint Games, the studio responsible for modern remakes of classic games such as Demon's Souls and Shadow of the Colossus, Bloomberg News has learned.
A shocking end for a well-respected studio.
