Going to track all the 2025 games I either finish, play, or watch a whole Let’s Play. It’s a big year for gaming.
It feels like gaming is going backward to the pre HD era in terms of cost and stuff like this
Sony has announced a special Japan-only version of the PlayStation 5 Digital Edition, which will be sold at a discounted price of ¥55,000 ($355).

The duality of men, I’m seeing people that loved that SOP and some that hated it lol
I think it was fine considering they told you it was focused on Japan so I didn’t expect any megatons

Sat down at lunch and read this whole thing. Outside of one part that I understand where Geoff was coming from, everything else is ridiculous. It’s obvious this was a program started to look good over actually caring.
Yet another bad look for Geoff and unfortunately highlights the continuing struggles for representation
"We found out later that Keighley had a party in another room with all the influencers and industry people. You know where Future Class met that day? At a Starbucks.”

I want to thank all the veterans who have served this country, but especially the transgender veterans who served and still desire to serve in spite of being treated like 2nd class citizens by the very country they defend. Thank you all for your service.

Calling it gaming’s Oscar’s has always been a stretch when they barely show the “awards” part of the show
“Many believe Future Class’s failure will serve as a cogent reminder that allyship without proper support is simply performative.”
I can’t see why anyone would continue to support TGA when it clearly does not support game devs, just a circle jerk for the wealthy.

Biped 2 took me by surprise with its insanely chaotic ragdoll mechanics and four player co-op. And it got me thinking, this "friendslop" genre is pretty fun when you don't have someone raining on your parade.

Sony leadership’s financial decisions this generation have been terrible
Destiny 2 hasn't reached Sony's expectations following Bungie acquisition, says CFO Lin Tao:
"[...]the level of sales and user engagement have not reached the expectations we had at the time of the acquisition of Bungie"

There’s no doubt Arc Raiders is one of the biggest things going on in gaming right now and I congratulate the devs and its fans. Now we see if it joins the legacy live service games or becomes a fad…

Anytime I hear of a video game boycott of any type I just assume I should raise the forecast. Shrug.
