Update from Javier Hernandez

Iran has caused a massive headache for the US by hitting targets around the Gulf. It is forcing the US to redeploy defensive assets that would otherwise be protecting US installations. The monied interests are hurting, too, as hotels burn. This is bad for Trump. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/03...

MAGA cultists waiting for instructions about how to spin "no more Middle Eastern wars" into "we must regime change Iran".

3 months after laying off a bunch of people, Splash Damage has become 'Splash Damage Group' and acquired another studio The world of business will never not mystify me.

Why is it that whenever I get hooked on a game, some news breaks that makes me fear for the future of the game? Hopefully, this is for the best for Gamepires and Scum. The game is poised for a bright future, don't mess it up! - www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...

It looked like the NPC alternated between trying to shoot it and bludgeon it to death. I guess the bludgeoning worked! LOL! Happily, the puppet injured the NPC sufficiently for me to get a quick kill.

The more I play #SCUM, the more I am impressed with its systems. Here, I found a gas station guarded by an armed NPC. Only having a pitchfork (the crossbow was out of ammo), I was going to avoid it...until I saw a puppet wandering toward the NPC. Would they fight? Yes! youtu.be/blH3oLMQWsM

If Bungie's #Marathon were more like #GrayZoneWarfare and offered a choice between PvE or PvP, it would be an insta-buy for me. But I grow weary of PvP games, so it will most likely be a pass for me. These days, PvP increasingly seems to me like an exhausted genre, mostly played by streamers.

And my second character didn't even make 24 hours on the island - death by puppet mob. That is what happens when you get careless around puppets. This is her last known photo. ☠️ #SCUM #PCGaming #GeforceNow

This reminds me of hearing streamers demand that every game has PvP w/ VOIP support. In addition to being abused by Big Gaming (Saudi-owned EA, etc.), games are suffering under the provincial demands of the streamer-class that cares less about gameplay & more about their channel content. #PCGaming

I am glad to know that there is always a chance of meeting a deadly NPC; that they are not all going to be pushovers. I was worried about that. Now, I know playing Sandbox can be as unpredictable as playing against other players. Perfect!

The above artwork is based on a screenshot I took of my character unknowingly walking to his doom. I used Copilot to give it the Edward Hopper treatment.

Sadly, after 2.5 days on #SCUM island, my character met a sudden end. Ironically, he was confident, having successfully fought off countless puppets & NPCs. But he met his sudden end when an NPC armed with a serious rifle of some sort killed him with two accurate shots. I was stunned! 😭#PCGaming

Some luck in #SCUM. I found an abandoned railyard that had a shipment of seaford still loaded on a freight train! Looks like my food troubles are over! #PCGaming

Things went sideways for me in #SCUM. I set out to do some looting, but my motorbike ran out of fuel, so I had to hoof it a long way to the nearest town. My shoes disintegrated, giving me a foot injury. I shred my jacket for bandages. Worse, I also ran low on food! Still, the weather was nice! 😄

After that run-in with the puppets and hostile survivors, I decided that I'd better stand watch for a bit before taking a nap. I lit a few candles and stood guard. It was an uneasy night. #SCUM

While making camp for the night, I was attacked by a horde of puppets. The noise from fighting them off must have attracted a hostile (NPC) survivor who tried to gun me down with his pistol! Fortunately, his first shot missed, and I got him with return fire. #SCUM #PCGaming

Just as an aside, it is worth pointing out that MadFinger pivoted to PvP content with the last update because the PvP players demanded more. As some content creators have since pointed out, the PvP pivot didn't provide the long-term boost to pop numbers that MF anticipated.

Gray Zone Warfare is Now a 'PvE-First' Tactical Shooter MADFINGER Games has pivoted on Gray Zone Warfare's identity, dubbing the game 'PvE-first' in recognition of development desires.

The success of Arc Raiders has finally burst the PvP bubble. Sure, Embark wanted Arc to be PvPvE, but the people have spoken by choosing to play it as PvE, which has made it a huge success. Now, other studios are paying attention. insider-gaming.com/gray-zone-wa...
