Change that from May to November, but yeah.
Wonder how many changes are being made to GTA 6 between now and May, in response to events in the US.

In Icelandic we have 'Ókind' for monster. But the translation is un-sheep. So everything not a sheep is dangerous.

Easy to overlook just how busy the release schedule has become for packaged games, which are discovering a new lease on life as post-release editions for mid-priced indie titles.
Something close to 50 games hitting PS5 between now and Christmas, most of which I will gladly buy (at some point).

Jumped on the PlayStation Store yesterday afternoon to see if PowerWash 2 had been released, only to be greeted by like half a dozen games that I really wanted to play, and that had been released in just the past few hours.

Is the games industry profitable? Yes, and has been throughout the entire recent layoff wave. But profit margins did slide dramatically post-covid as costs shot up but revenue didn't keep pace. Margins have recovered since then, mostly thanks to reduced personnel costs.
