50 new games a day on Steam. 350 per week. 18,000+ per year (as of 2 years ago).
Regardless of the quality of each individual title, that is an absolute mountain of new games that the market cannot possibly support.

I know it's meant in good faith but "if we just made smaller scope games and charged 20-40 dollars for them it would fix the industry" is very funny to me. indies release like 20 of those a week on steam. are you buying them? is the industry fixed? no? hm. sounds like you need a different solution

So, I think we’ve gotten way too serious about enjoying stuff in the “right order”.
We used to find new favorites by turning on the tv to whatever was on or renting something from blockbuster with a cool cover.
I’m NOT saying chronological is bad but don’t be a prisoner to sequential perfectionism

When devs specific that they’re not using genAI for “certain things” that means they are using genAI. Otherwise, the answer would be a simple and straightforward “no, we are not using genAI”. They are trying to minimize the likelihood that you realize they are doing the thing nobody likes or wants.

solid SoP, nice to see Konami doin' thangs. using the brand/IP is only half the battle, though, so here's to hoping the new Silent Hill and Castlevania turn out well. I'm a Silent Hill f evangelist so you never know how things will turn out! could have a new classic on the horizon!

Biggest announcement is that MGS4 is finally free from the shackles of the PS3. They actually did it.

Glad to see the Kena sequel, but I really hope the gameplay does...something! The first felt like an impressive art and tech demo. Maybe this one will do something more memorable on that end, but it's nice to see a continuation!

Love it when the turn based RPG lets you one shot lower level enemies out of battle with a single button press.

Diablo 2 is one of my favorite games of all time, and I think the remaster is great, but adding a new class 25 years later and selling it for $25 is kind of gross and weird. Let a classic be a classic. Let it be!

what a brutal industry, be it actual game dev or games media. sucks to see it happen again and again, sucks to recognize the patterns and to wonder how long it will take before there's any change

whenever I see people cheer on the failure of an upcoming game, this is, whether they realize it or not, what they are cheering for. easy to forget the human cost of stuff like this
Wildlight (Highguard) lays off staff according to a LinkedIn post
"Unfortunately, along with most of the team at Wildlight, I was laid off today.
This one really stings as there was a lot of unreleased content I was really looking forward to that I and others designed for Highguard."

I’m glad to see people protesting Discord forcing IDs for age verification, but what I need everyone to understand is that there’s immense bipartisan pressure to make the entire internet like this, and they are likely going to succeed unless something drastic happens
