this is kind of a wild ask but does anyone know how to get in touch with former Atari and Activision programmer Matthew Hubbard?

I'm on that 'infinite damage' beat. www.pcgamer.com/games/rpg/pa...
Path of Exile 2 players suffer the consequences of dealing illegal amounts of damage as boss shrugs off a 95M-damage hit
This is what happens when the game can't calculate numbers that high.

"Silksanity will truly never end" www.pcgamer.com/games/action...
Can Hornet yell at every boss in Hollow Knight: Silksong until they die? One player is in the middle of trying to pull it off.
'This is like watching Sisyphus push the boulder and win'

So very tired, but I couldn't let 2025 end without taking stock of Microsoft's embarrassing treatment of gaming, Windows, and indeed human beings while it chases the AI money train
Microsoft's year of shame
Can't make a few trillion dollars without ditching game developers, going googoo gaga for AI and supplying tech to the military, I suppose!

2025 was bad in all kinds of ways but it was, as ever, a good year for writing about videogames on @pcgamer.com. I spend as much time editing as writing, so here's a short thread of some work I'm proud to have helped shepherd this year!

Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. isn't just a PC port of a 19-year-old game: it's the reason a diehard fighting game community can 'finally reach out and play with each other across the world'
Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O's arrival on PC marks the start a new era for the series that pioneered 3D fighting games.

It's been fascinating to watch Diablo 4 get better and better over the last few years, even if the amount of reworks was starting to get exhausting. That era is over with the latest season, which is easily its best yet. www.pcgamer.com/games/rpg/di...

I'm glad that the Diablo 4 Lord of Hatred writers agree that Lilith made some good points in the original campaign. www.pcgamer.com/games/rpg/ev...
Everyone who thought Diablo 4's original villain made some good points will be happy to know she's coming back in its next expansion as an ally
Lilith may be a demon, but she was right.

There are many reasons these types of comments are funny, but they mostly make me wonder if gamers can imagine anything that isn’t animated by profit.

It's impressive how good Elden Ring Nightreign is for a game that even the director admits was mostly reused assets with lots of polish. I hope we get more games at this scale from FromSoftware. www.gamespot.com/articles/eld...

The tech industry's smol bean act is so maddening. Gee, all we did is put out products that make frequent errors while telling everyone they're going to lose their jobs to them. How come they don't like that?
Microsoft's head of AI doesn't understand why people don't like AI, and I don't understand why he doesn't understand because it's pretty obvious
Is it really "mindblowing" that people are skeptical of software that consistently doesn't do the things we're told it can do?
