This isn't an employee leaking a game reveal, someone hearing something from a contact, an accidental store listing, a presentation on a train. This is a deliberately damaging criminal act, done to hurt people and make money.

Don't share or report on the information.

The Insomniac "leak" is more than that - it was an intentional criminal act intended to blackmail for a large amount of money. Nobody paid up, so now a company's game, long-term project plans, and personal private employee details doxed and leaked.

It's unacceptable and wrong.

Ayee - they announced after this years... spectacle that it was going to stop being a requirement generally :)

Anyone have any idea when the Unity release without requirement for a splashscreen is coming? Is it already bopping about?

Still playing this every night - I've not been hooked on a puzzle game like this for years. Having a blast with it.

Does anyone else find the PSVR 2 incredibly uncomfortable? I can play the Quest 3 for ages - but 25 minutes in the PSVR and my neck gives up.

Heard from someone who used to visit the Norwich Games Festival today who just got a job as a software engineer - who shared that it was the festival that set them on the path. Thrilled for them!

I've played through the first 2 big sequences of Spider-Man 2 today and I'm having a blast. Starts with such a bang.

Well, there's sniping - so you could just SAY that you're aiming for their nuts each turn

Played the Sniper Elite board game tonight which was great fun - felt so sneaky as the sniper, but totally frantic as the chasers.

Very excited to play Assassins Creed VR this week; trailers have been looking great. Been playing a lot of VR games recently - Espire 2 is cool AF.

I'm 75 hours into Tears of the Kingdom and I've not helped even one of the four towns. Just can't get enough of finding Koroks and helping them on their merry little way.

There's no better feeling than watching a movie and spotting an actor who was in a minor role in the movie you watched the night before

The higher your draw calls the more fun your game will be

Your game definitely needs crafting.

Big exciting update to the Dungeon Golf demo as we've added a new way to play solo - Golf Quest. It's just you vs the the hole, can you beat the target to get all 9 gold trophies?

Go on, give it a little play this weekend!
