I’m not a professional on any of this. Just a fan of video games, movies and comics who likes sharing his POV. Everything here is subjective as hell.

Found myself thinking a lot recently about the disconnect between what a piece of media is about and what a fanbase perceives it to be about. There's stuff to be written about how preconceived notions gathered from marketing can completely wash out the actual message of a movie, tv show or game

constant advice I give to folks in this space is to consume more than just games / games media.

read books. watch/read about sports. listen to unfamiliar music. see a movie that isn't an established IP.

if your world only holds games, that's the only context you'll be able to see them in.
I'm far from the first person to say this but a fundamental and increasing issue with games media and how we talk about games with Themes is an unavoidable lack of media literacy and/or engagement with forms of art that aren't video games (or nerd media, really).

New Difficulty Mode + 6.3 PCB + Maxed Out Stats + NG+ = A game that’s fun as hell. Over my holiday break I rewatched Robocop 1&2, followed by a NG+ play through of Rogue City. What an experience!!!!
f you've enjoyed RoboCop: Rogue City this year, we'd love your support in the Steam awards!

We've introduced NG+, a new difficulty mode, and other updates and tweaks as we keep working to bring things to further delight RoboCop fans.

Stay frosty ⬇️

Oh boy Rockstar is going to spend 2025 teasing the hell out of gamers 😅
