So I picked up my preorder of Metroid Prime 4 today and have played it a bit. My reaction so far … if you’re a Metroid Prime fan you are gonna eat up this gorgeous iterative sequel. If you don’t like the series this one isn’t gonna change your mind with some revolutionary gameplay.

![Capitalism is a system in which the central institutions of society are, in principle, under autocratic control. Thus, a corporation or an industry is, if we were to think of it in political terms, fascist, that is, it has tight control at the top and strict obedience has to be established at every level. [...] Just as I'm opposed to political fascism, I am opposed to economic fascism. I think that until the major institutions of society are under the popular control of participants and communities, it's pointless to talk about democracy.

Yesterday, the Epic Games Store decided at the last minute not to distribute the game, after having previously approved a release build. HORSES is otherwise now available on GOG, Itch, and Humble for $4.99. www.horses.wtf

I shouldn’t have stayed up to try out the Red Dead Redemption update… but it looks gorgeous and plays at 60 fps on my Switch 2. It has never looked or played this good and to have it playing in handheld… so far the experience is sublime. If only Metroid Prime 4 wasn’t out this week…

I don’t understand people who call themselves a centrist. It’s like proclaiming you’re willfully uninformed, ignorant and stupid. A sociopath at best.

Just watched a hands-on preview of the Renegades DLC for Destiny 2. I love Destiny. I love Star Wars… but I absolutely detest crossovers. It takes me completely out of the game’s immersive experience and just feels like shallow capitalism killing creativity. I won’t be touching this.

Respectfully Ubisoft is full of shit. Let me break is down… Assassin’s Creed Shadows was $90 (Canadian) at release. Expedition 33 is a new ip, was $65 and sold 5 million copies despite being on gamepass day one. Maybe get your overpaid execs to figure it out but I bet being $25 cheaper was a factor.

Ubisoft has warned of falling company revenues and said it's seen that "many new games are struggling to stand out" as players turn away from traditional full-price releases.

My Game Awards nomination predictions were 100% spot on. My hot-take though is… Donkey Kong Bonanza does not deserve it. The other games are “great” but DKB was simply “good” and its a shame so many great games that did not get a nomination won’t get the attention DKB already has had.
