Definitely. It just sucks that they'll probably only be blacklisted, if they can even find who broke embargo. It's messed up when codes for big games are hard to come by for some journalists, and the people who are lucky enough to get them ruin it for everyone.

There should be actual punishments for people who break embargo like this. You are lucky enough to get an early code for a game and your first move is to break embargo, kill your relationship with Capcom, and spoil a game that thousands of gamers are excited for? This is horrible.

If you're a fan of Fear and Hunger or Omori, you'll love this new game by @frankiepixel.bsky.social, Look Outside. Started playing yesterday and already hooked. A survival horror RPG with Overwhelmingly Positive reviews on Steam. Why aren't more people talking about this game?!

Lost a good freelance gig yesterday. I'm just gonna try to relax this long weekend and not think about the downfall of the gaming journalism industry by playing some Oblivion, Expedition 33, and Doom. ✌️

if all of these video game outlets are cutting back on staff, and they're also cutting back on the freelancers they've used to make up for the holes in the masthead, then where exactly are they planning for the coverage to come from?

If you're thinking of getting into gaming journalism at this point in time, don't. Sincerely, from a tired gaming journalist.

Got excited for the upcoming Mafia: The Old Country, and noticed the Mafia Trilogy bundle, which includes I and II's remasters, is only $12! As someone who has never played these games before, is this worth it?
