I remeber getting a call at CAA, from a very upset Vince and Jason. “Bobby is trying to take away the team’s royalty. Can you help?” It was such a hard time, and they were so strong for their team. He deserves better than this. It’s so sad.

So...The Séance of Blake Manor is my favorite game of 2025 so far.
A first person murder mystery with detailed investigation mechanics, superb writing, and atmosphere. Also the best game about Irish History I've ever played

This game looks like hot garbage.
"It’s about redemption" - Peter Molyneux says Masters of Albion, his final game, will make up for decades of "overpromising on things".
"I just haven’t got the life energy left to do this again," the Fable, Populous and Black & White creator said.

we live in the clip farming economy for pvp games bc marketing elsewhere is dead. in games like apex legends, it has (in my experience) absolutely decimated any opportunity for thoughtful play. everyone wants to be the next Sweetdreams, nicewigg, etc and treats lobbies as harvesting grounds for that
I don't wanna be pessimistic but it kinda feels like the direction its being pulled in feels ripe for slapping a bunch of GAAS revolving door purchases.
And also the prox-chat being to get publicity from twitch clips or whatever, like someone said in Nats' replies.
