Every week/month new games from solo or small developers often "out of nowhere", achieve success in the 100Ks of units, and at times millions. The industry is not broken, has simply evolved over the years and the old models often do not fit into the new reality.

I know I am an edge-ish case, but the idea of not being able to play a game seamlessly on my big TV, on my handheld device and then via cloud is becoming more and more unfamiliar to me

The only offensive thing of the Estonian song at the Eurovision is that the song is called espresso macchiato, but the cup he is holding in his hand is not an espresso cup 🤣

Even after 26+ years in the industry, it feels special to see a game in a shop

Good take on how we often struggle to look at our industry from outside the inner circle we operate in.
The 10% of console players that are hyper enthusiasts: "I'm sick of remasters!" (Buys the latest remaster anyways).
Some other console players - "Cool! New remaster!"
Majority of console players - Launch Fortnite, GTA, COD, Minecraft or Roblox, continue to not care.

Really enjoy the snooker final today. I remember when videogames based on it would seep hundreds of thousands of copies ( even worked on one).

I have only played 2 hours of Expedition 33 so far but it’s already ahead of any other game launched in 2025 in terms of GOTY.

The last 7/8 months have been absolutely incredible when it comes to amazing game releases. Aren’t we all so lucky?

After finishing Awoved and South of Midnight, I am now a good 10 hours into Starfield and so far I am absolutely enjoying it.

Looks like I have found the game I will play once I finish Avowed
South of Midnight weaves a concise folktale adventure of pain and hope, and I hope others explore this stylized world.

I adore the world of South of Midnight, and I hope others explore this dark folktale from Xbox
South of Midnight delivers a story filled with trauma and beauty, with a gorgeous world that doesn't overstay its welcome.

What makes me so happy about this Switch 2 Direct is how indie games mix seamlessly with ones from bigger companies. When I joined PlayStation in 2009 to launch of the indie movement this would have been unthinkable ❤️
