Devastated to hear EA shuttered Cliffhanger Games an industry that raked in $450 billion in 2024 and paid its CEO $25.6 million now discards the folks who built its future. This is corporate callousness at its worst. We stand with @videogameworkers.bsky.social #UnionStrong #SaveCliffhanger #GameDev

The first time I saw a Virtual Boy, I thought it was medical equipment. I played some red snd black video game for 12 minutes and left with a headache, eye strain, and an existential crisis. Naturally, I still have PTSD

Quick April VG market takes:
- April better than expected (Oblivion shadow drop sure helped)
- In lull before Switch 2 storm
- Sub spend boost may be macro related (tariff and affordability consumer concerns) - not certain yet
- Not a bad month, which makes it a pretty good month tbh.
