Plus Everwild & Project Blackbird gutted before launch after many years of development.
That’s 3 live-service games with a AAA budget (Concord, 2XKO, Highguard) that have been gutted less than a month after launch. It’s clear the money people have lost all patience, and if a game isn’t an overnight success, it must die immediately, with no time given to find an audience. Unsustainable.
Wildlight (Highguard) lays off staff according to a LinkedIn post
"Unfortunately, along with most of the team at Wildlight, I was laid off today.
This one really stings as there was a lot of unreleased content I was really looking forward to that I and others designed for Highguard."

Mario Tennis Fever once again shows that Nintendo sports games... Have lost their luster. 😬

When Trump was elected again I told my family that I believe concentration camps were coming, they didn't believe me then but they sure do believe it now.
ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.
If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

It's been clear for awhile that he does not want the elections in 2026 to be free & fair. I don't know what "nationalize the voting" would look like but surely it would be designed to help Republicans steal the election.
P.S. No one has ever brought immigrants to this country to vote.

Trump: "These people were brought to our country to vote, & they vote illegally. The Republicans should say, we should take over the voting in at least 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting. We have states that I won that show I didn't win. You're gonna see something in Georgia"

What an awesome special edition release!
I have the game on the Epic store because I got it during the exclusive early access period.
I used to question why this wouldn't get an Xbox version but physical game sales & hardware sales have been declining for a long time there. 😢

Fantastic write up here. Please read it if you have any questions about how the Switch 2 is performing in the market.
It's true that Nintendo Switch 2 sales over the holiday in the US slowed down compared to its initial launch burst, but there's a lot more nuance there than doom and gloom around it having a "bad" holiday:

Steam allows anyone to leave a review regardless of the amount of time they’ve played, which is understandable, but it also leads to a flurry of negative reviews within an hour of the game being released for some bs reason, including basic stuff like server issues.

this isn't a defense of highguard but i'm not sure why people STILL post screenshots of a new steam game being Overwhelmingly Negative as if it's a self-explanatory red flag anymore when steam users will mass-reviewbomb games if a woman is wearing pants in them
