Reminder that if you're a BDS boycotter, Blizzard is part of Microsoft, and Overwatch is very much a Microsoft product.

Not enough. Every single ICE and CBP agent should be out of Minnesota. The terror campaign must stop.
ICE must be abolished.

Even though an embargo was accidentally breached, this is no way to respond.
The news shared was not fake. Playing into the whole hate shtick people like to sling at this outlet is uncalled for.
It sucks because it was a huge update stream but this was unprofessional.

My greatest professional fear is that I accidentally break embargo on press stuff or game reviews. That type of misstep would be catastrophic to independent reviewers and sites.
Hope nothing happens to the IGN team over what is undoubtedly an honest mistake. Don't think it'lll affect IGN (the site)

I still don't fully understand the criticism about watching movies on phones. Not how i watch film, but i don't really see how it is meaningfully different than any other home screen.

Extremely pleased to share my big interview wirh Suda51 (another Inverse hold over). A lot to unpack here, including how he considered calling Romeo Is a Dead Man “Kill the Past,” and how he feels about people now having expectations of what “Suda game” is www.cgmagonline.com/interviews/s...
Suda51 Wants to Continue to "Surprise" Players, Even If They Know His Distinct Style
Romeo Is a Dead Man pushes Suda51's distinct style into a new universe, but the creator is already thinking about his future games.

Cropped because this is not meant to be a dunk, but in Aronofsky's case, these criticisms are not newly invented ex post facto. They've always been around by people "in the know". Most just choose to ignore it until now!

*Microsoft is a priority target of the BDS boycott, so I didn't play Grounded 2 or OW2
HOWEVER, Obsidian remains a top tier developer and Avowed was one of last year's very best. Wish they weren't MS.
HOWEVER, Obsidian remains a top tier developer and Avowed was one of last year's very best. Wish they weren't MS.
Obsidian shipped three games last year: Avowed, Grounded 2, and Outer Worlds 2. Grounded 2 was a hit, but the two RPGs were not, leading to some self-reflection. How to make games in 3-4 years rather than 6-7? This story may be a case study for the entire industry www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Was about to crash out on someone for being annoying/wrong, but looked the thing up a bit and it turns out they were right.

There’s no reforming it.
There’s no compromise.
There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.
