The last financial report from Sony states that Bungie lost the equivalent of $765m during the last year alone. That's 7 times the budget of GTA V, almost two Battlefields, or the equivalent cost of Call of Duty development.
Another curiosity: there's no mention of GTA VI for the upcoming financial year (which was supposed to be a driving force). Instead, only the PS5 hardware is expected to bring some revenue.

There's something terribly wrong going on with The Finals:
Embark is banning people even for accessibility controllers and players started to research the issue, but got deeper than expected.
- They apparently removed anticheat for pro players (secretly, then confirmed it by saying it was due to massive reports on their exceptional skill levels)
- They made a special discord for selected pro players where they have tons of privileges
- They ban average users with one request from pro players and without clear investigation
The same company also operates Arc Raiders. Which is far less competitive but still...

After Nacon publishing house killed The Spiders (Greedfall, Steelrising, The Technomancer), they moved on to Big Bad Wolf (The Council, Vampire: The Masquerade — Swansong, Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss). The company will be fully closed now. Their parent company Cyanide is also insolvent.
Kylotonn, The creators of Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown will be hit differently: their studio will shrink from 120 to ~30 people soon. Which makes it nearly impossible to operate a live-service racing game in a reasonable pace.

The original Tiny Tina's Wonderlands is extremely nice and you probably have it on Steam since it was free to keep:
Our heroes spend the gaming night after the events of Borderlands 2. There are tons of cultural references, dorky jokes, and such. But there's also sadness since they gave to process the loss.
The voice of Tina is also the writer of the game (and Borderlands 2), one of the writers on Adventure Time, the voice of Aloy in HZD, and Chloe in Life is Strange.

Mixtape (by the re-founded Annapurna Interactive) is almost Life is Strange but made by people who actually spoke to other human beings. Critics praised the game but I feel it will go barely noticed. UPD: Watched the reviews, it's kinda dumb as hell. h…
Mixtape peaked at 1800 CCU on Steam, got positive reviews, and overall seems like a curious experience:
- Great music (Joy Division, Smashing Pumpkins, Iggy Pop, The Cure, and more)
- Dorky minigames
- Happy meets sad vibes
A good reminder to our inner kids to stay in touch with others. And more similar to Split Fiction than Life is Strange in terms of the gameplay vibes.
