Bestselling hardcover of 2025:

Written on the Dark by @guygavrielkay.bsky.social!

It's always a good year when Guy has a new book out, and 2025 was no exception to that. WotD was #1 in hardcover sales by a big margin, and also outdoing all his previous hardcover releases with us.

Deeply disappointed in Larian’s stance on generative AI. Trust your talented employees and stop conceding to this garbage tech used to delete jobs and burn the planet.

✨ new video! ✨

silksong is a game obsessed with faith. abstractions, literal depictions, corruptions of faith — it's all there. most important though is silksong's faith in its players, and the lengths it goes through to help us find strength within ourselves.

Don't pout! There's only 5 days until the launch of Octopath Traveler 0!

This image sees Alfyn gently watching over the Apothecary protagonist and Macy as they treat a small child, and was illustrated by Square Enix artist Masahiko Dairaku.

I always appreciated that you spent so much time with the tiefling refugees in Baldur's Gate 3. There's something about making the race of demonic origin, with their red skin & scary horns, the most human & sympathetic of all.

Books and covers and all that. Helping them feels so damn good.

it’s astounding that the dragon quest team made the entirety of dragon quest xi playable as a 1990s-era snes game

Between today and tomorrow, we get four great games that in the late 2000s would have been guaranteed GOTY contenders. It's a brutal time to sell a game; it's an age of miracles for people who play them:

Demonschool
News Tower
Kingdom of the Dump
Birdcage

PLUS, Moonlighter 2 hits Early Access
