Dispatch coming out in episodes appears to have been a very good strategy for developer Adhoc Studio. Astounding numbers here. Episodic games often risk losing audience attention over time but 8 episodes across 4 weeks seems like the perfect cadence to keep players hooked and talking

My colleagues at Bloomberg report that the $20 billion debt in the EA deal is expected to be rated single-B — meaning it is considered a "junk" loan, or one that is high-risk and speculative, typically offering high interest rates. Which the new EA will have to pay

I've been replaying CrossCode (2018) and I think it's become one of my favorite games of all time. It's an SNES-style action-RPG inspired by Zelda and Secret of Mana set within a fictional MMORPG. Strong combat, good jokes, devious puzzles. If you haven't played it, you should

For the last week or so I've been obsessed with Nurikabe World, a serene game that's sort of like a cross between Minesweeper and Sudoku. It's got that trance-like, "just one more game" pull store.steampowered.com/app/2964540/...

I'm seeing this headline make the rounds on Reddit but it is incredibly misleading. The people who worked on Blackbird at ZeniMax Online Studios are only still employed while their union negotiates a severance package. Almost all of them are losing their jobs. Just hasn't formally happened yet

It’s a bit hard to reconcile Krafton saying that the founders not being involved with Subnautica 2 led to “repeated confusion in direction and significant delays” with Krafton also saying, a paragraph later, that it respects and supports that same Subnautica 2 dev team

A wild new statement just published by Krafton blames the founders of Unknown Worlds for issues with Subnautica 2 and says the company will “provide the rewards [employees] were promised.” Unknown Worlds staff have not yet been given any specifics on what that means krafton.com/en/

The fatal flaw for Dragon Age: The Veilguard wasn't just that it pivoted from single-player to multiplayer and back again. It was that after the second pivot, the team was forced to keep going rather than hit the reset button and take the time to create a new plan. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
