I wonder if it's a cyclical thing. When I was young the press was all publisher/retailer owned - Xbox Magazine, Nintendo Power, etc.

Though the financial situation isn't so much cycling as escalating.

Pikachu with Browt's leaf-green eyebrows and beak

Twist: Browt is *just* the eyebrows and beak. It can symbiotically bond with any other Pokemon.

It is excellent, and I think also nails exactly what's so bad about this image. Extremely unflattering pose for Kratos.

Learning that a company (in this case: Dunkin, in 2020) got taken private via leveraged buyout is like discovering someone got bitten by a zombie.

The side of games industry OT that often gets overlooked.
