Oh, there's the overview by IGN:
(Not from the Cuphead fella)

The video is sponsored and basically "read what PR team sent to us". But it's always interesting to see how the company sees and positions itself.

IMO, tanks are not trendy to be played by casual audience and tank-fans are passionate about stats, real-world references, and simulation.

Best game ever

It was not a joke by the way, they will offer a free week! (I'll play Battlefield 1 instead)

Mina the Hollower, made by the developers of Shovel Knight (Yacht Club Games) is apparently a banger!

Steam Deck OLED is available again but the price is much higher due to memory shortages... a 2018 CPU architecture and 2021 GPU limited to 15W. That's not ~€920 of goodies.

First, I have never heard his voice before and he sounds so odd. Second, Bungie can't make Destiny 3 due to budget limitations — the game will require $500m+ to make, they have much less per game:

Facts: a few years ago USB ruined their naming. Instead of simple 3.x, 4.x, they made tons of variations. No one understands them!

I'm not even kidding: there will be a collaboration between Call of Duty Mobile and Persona 5

Subnautica 2 is now set to earn up to $250m for the studio founders. Which means, it will make the publisher Krafton lose devastating 35% of their annual turnover to pay out.

For the game to start making money for Krafton it has to sell over 12 million copies — before that they will only lose. Over 4 million are sold already, but it will be the most painful year for the naughty publisher.

Krafton have tried to fire the founders, steal the game, and go to court with the filing made by the CEO Changhan Kim via Chat GPT (since his own lawyers refused to commit a crime). The idiotic case inevitably failed, the game succeeded, and the founders will get their paychecks. Absolute Cinema!

There's an old joke about it: the wolf walks in the forest and several other animals run past it. He grabs one:

- What's the rush?
- The rabbit takes $1 and gives $2 for it!
- Sounds like a scam!
- Try for yourself!

He goes there, gives $20, gets $40. All real. So he grabs the rabbit the next day:

- What's the catch?!
- No catch, all fair
- So you lose money on it?!
- But can you imagine what a turnover my business has? All investors are mine, bro...

$70 game.
