Great, more consolidation in the gaming industry. Still, Sony making some kind of big purchase felt inevitable once the Activision deal was finalized. I guess on the bright side Bloodborne 2 might finally happen? Or at least a remaster? But who knows with Sony.

That’s a shame. Rime was a great little game. Got it on a whim and ended up really enjoying it. Hope the developers can find work elsewhere.

Good to see GOG refocusing on games preservation. 100 games might be just a tiny fraction of all the games that need to be preserved, but at least someone is starting somewhere.

Thanks Youtube, I hate it. Like I can see some arguments for taking away the view counter, even if I think it’s a bad decision. But the date the video was uploaded? Who does that even help? I guess Youtubers will either need to start properly dating their videos or we’ll just have to use context clues to figure out when a video was uploaded.

Considering I would have never heard of this otherwise, yeah I think it’s the Streisand Effect at work. But what a bizarre thing to want scrubbed from the Internet. Like it’s not a particularly hard-hitting question and the CEO clearly had a prepared, corporate-speak answer ready. It feels like something that wouldn’t have attracted any attention if they hadn’t called attention to it. So, classic Streisand Effect I guess.

Honestly, perfectly understandable that she would want to quit. Tons of content creators burn out after making the same type of thing day in and day out. Walking away when it’s not fun anymore is better than sticking with something that makes you miserable.
