Still need more baseball?
We found a CD in our archives containing dozens of unused voice lines from MLB Slugfest 20-03 rejected by the MLB. Here's some of our favorites.

My pet conspiracy theory:
Saudi Arabia doesn't give a shit about EA beyond its leverage into the NFL, the crown jewel of American sports. SA can't create a new league, LIV-style. But EA's monopolistic contracts with sports leagues like the NFL give SA a powerful position for further acquisitions

$20,000,000,000 of debt financing is a shockingly large number to have to service, while also transitioning from a public to private organization and all the implications that has on the people that work in it.
We've obviously never seen anything like this at this scale in the industry before.

It’s official: EA is going private.
The leveraged buyout will be financed by a staggering $20 billion of debt, which likely means some *aggressive* cost cutting is ahead for EA in the coming months and years.

The job of being a game Producer, a GOOD Producer, looks very difficult to me.
You have to make room for several contradictory things all to be true at the same time:

The combination of IGN giving Silent Hill f a 7/10 and @tamoorh.com saying it's 10-12 hours is making this game absolutely irresistible, in case you are ever marketing a game specifically to me
the ideal score!!!!
Silent Hill f's new setting, story, and art design stand out, but its early combat seems like too much of a chore to be fun.

BREAKING: Silksong will be out on September 4. Two weeks from today. Really.
Often, games that take 7+ years to make are plagued by mismanagement and painful burnout. But for Silksong? Team Cherry was having a blast. They still are.

Listen. The more an analyst (especially financial) says they have complete confidence in any video game related forecast and won't even consider a potentially significant range of error or that their assumptions may end up being wrong the more you should throw that forecast into the bin.

GameStop I worked at 18 years ago (during Wii launch) has shut down for good.
I’ll never forget the time a confused woman came asking for the DS game her son wanted. She declared audibly, with sincerity:
“I’m looking for… Where you were touched?”
(see replies for the game…)
