Absolutely fucking disgusting.
Regarding Xbox layoffs:

• Microsoft's stock hit an all-time high on Tuesday
• Microsoft reported higher-than-expected revenue in March's earnings
• This will, undoubtedly, lead to employees being replaced by generative AI and those who remain expected to pick up what's left

Finished Death Stranding 2.

I agree it feels more like a 2.0 (story aside) than a sequel, but I say with such positivity.

I still have some core issues with the game itself (I'll never enjoy BT encounters) but god damn, was it captivating.

The medium will always benefit from Hideo's creativity.

Now with my Death Stranding replay wrapped up, my ADHD is going into 📣OVERDRIVE📣 trying to figure out what I want to play next.

Division 2's new content? Actually finishing an Elden Ring run? Returning to the Outer Worlds? Random backlog games? Not to mention the Switch 2 on Thursday? 🙃

Hey @jasonschreier.bsky.social: good use of the word 'nascent'. I appreciate your thesaurus-like variety with word choice.

Oh, and good journalistic work as always. That was great, too. 😂
On Wednesday, EA abruptly canceled a Black Panther game without saying why. So I did a little digging.

For this week's column, here's what Cliffhanger's Black Panther was, why it was canceled and why employees were shocked at the news: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

The project from Cliffhanger Studios would have starred a group of heroes from the comic-book franchise

I’ve been really tempted for awhile to do a replay of Death Stranding ahead of the sequel next month, but I’m also worried I may be too close to the release as this point in terms of potentially burning myself out on the series if I’m rolling right into On The Beach?

Cowards and bigots.
NEW: Take Two's recently filed annual report removes all references to support of DEI, drops prior boasts about awards it got for supporting LGBT workers, and omits prior mentions of work to diversify talent pool with scholarships

No comment why, but we can guess!

Take Two removes praise for its LGBTQ efforts from its annual report, scrubs diversity references
Game File combed the latest annual reports from Take Two and EA, finding numerous fine-print changes. Some serious, some not, some seemingly in reaction to Donald Trump.

I don’t think we talk nearly enough about how dope it is when rock bands incorporate a saxophone into the mix.

Yes I’m listening to the 1975 tonight, why do you ask?
