Riot accidently released the trailer early (It's back on privat) but '2XKO' launches January 20th on Xbox Series and PS5. Already on PC.

happy to kick off reminiscing on the about square enix’s b-game golden age. they did it. they made shorter games with worse graphics for less money and alas. no one bought them. was this the fault of the strategy or square enix’s non existent marketing who can say

My new years resolutions are going to be A) lose a bunch of weight by replacing my blood with Ozempic and then not going blind, and B) to write more articles about Saudi Arabia's sports washing venture in the games business.

i've only read one warhammer novel (Horus Rising) and it was good but also very funny how every single soldier in the wartorn fascist imperium indoctrinated from birth on religious human supremacy keeps turning to the audience and going "guys i dunno i think the iraq war might have been illegal"

And so my last day at Eurogamer arrives!

Worked out I've written around 3700 articles over the past four years, so thought I'd highlight a few of my favourites.

What's especially funny is that Larian is a privately owned company, with it owning roughly 62% of its own stock. So they're using Gen AI for the love of the game here. You can't even point to a Nexon or Microsoft to blame, the call is coming from inside the house.

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.
