Same. This was me in 2016 prompted in part by the Horizon E3 trailer... amongst an avalanche of other "you will fight big monsters" games.

Update: All the reviews you might have seen are right. Disney finally realized the best way to bring back the Muppets was to do The Muppet Show again—and it works, spectacularly so. I hope kids today love it because this Gen Xer really wants to see more.
Not me having to press pause on THE MUPPET SHOW five seconds into the opening credits because I’m getting choked up and actual tears are starting to well up…

Historically "coming up with a better system", once you get to this point, is quite messy - both figuratively and, you know, literally...
We gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”

Nitasha one of the best to do it, have followed her for years from outlet to outlet and will continue to, but this fuckin’ sucks. It’s nothing more than oligarch maxxing and yacht hoarding.
My story on Elon Musk cutting safeguards at xAI is on the front page of today's @washingtonpost.com. I’m also among 100’s of reporters laid off. I absolutely loved my job my brilliant coworkers & the thrill of reporting @ the center of forces upending the world: AI & Silicon Valley’s political power

Make sure you follow @gameoverthirty.bsky.social consistently some of the best thinking on the games industry, and financials in particular...
My best guess, and I mean GUESS, as to why MSFT took impairment charges during Q2 FY26 (see image).
Look, it's either cancelled projects, or a lower LTV on a running game. Here's the thing: The MSFT side of the business doesn't capitalize all that much.

Rolling Stone put up a piece about celebrities speaking out against ICE and one of the top comments said “since when do we care what celebrities have to say” so I clicked on her profile and a month ago she was telling everyone how excited she was to get Snoop Dogg’s cook book.

The same people doing this are right now are also saying “all humans are created in God’s image” bla bla bla. And making posts saying we should remember the holocaust today. It makes me feel completely insane.
After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

We've finally said farewell and good riddance to "X" and to our 10K followers — many of whom are Excellent People. I wish we'd left sooner, and I hope other studios + creatives do the same. It's a deeply toxic place, and we need to build better communities, if we hope to turn the tide.

Ubi dropped the ball with this franchise. WD2 was a genuinely great game, a true open world game with a ton of fun systems.
I'll never forgive them for upgrading the PlayStation version for PS4 Pro, but leaving the Xbox version at the Xbox One build. Clowns.

Regardless of the games shown, Xbox Developer Direct remains my favorite showcase format.
-Slick production
-Less games but they all get time
-Get to hear from the devs directly and not just the head of studio.
It's always compelling for me!
