The move feels like the culmination of industry trends dating back over a decade, and it recalls one egregious business practice--one that took aim at the used-game market, whether companies would admit it or not--that caused a brief uproar before fading away into the depths of our collective memory. There was a period at the end of the 2000s and start of the 2010s when big publishers inclu

And to be completely honest, this wasnât a shocker to me. The Dota scene gets a million-dollar tournament almost every single month, from the aforementioned BLAST Slam, … Continued The post Even the Dota 2 pros are bored with Tier 1 tournaments: Let’s shake it up with Fearless Draft and Tier 2 teams appeared firs
There are a lot of good reasons to criticize the people responsible for Xbox layoffs, but racism isn't one of them.
Earlier this year, Infold invited me to attend Love and Deepspace's second anniversary event. At this point, I had been playing the game on and off for about a year. I was juggling questionable relationships with both Zayne, the main character's physician, and Sylus, the violent leader of a crime syndicate. And while I wasn't as financially invested as many players, I certainly had fostered a level of emotional investment in the game, its story, and its charming characters. I was thrilled to be

And with all of that news about Sony... The post Nintendo Switch 2 physical media is here to stay (for now) – here’s why appeared first on Nintendo Everything.

I am just savvy enough with anime and manga to hesitantly observe that there are at least two broad types of "magic girl" story. There are the naive and upbeat ones in which the magic girls sincerely believe all the nonsense they yell about the power of Hope and such, and then there are the ones where magic girling is revealed to be an exploitative racket awash with misogyny and overwork.

The video game industry is experiencing what can politely be referred to as a rough patch. Last week, we learned of Sony's intention to abandon physical media, which is dispiriting, and this week, we learned leadership at Microsoft is in the process of laying off more than 3,000 developers at various studios. Stories surrounding this topic are, sadly, some of bigg
