The usual low price tag also plays into this. Not being Free to Play means you know you are not getting a β€œservice” game. And easy to buy for a friend :)

A comic strip titled The Amazing World of Tomorrow.
A food delivery robot cooler drives down a sidewalk.
It crashes into a rental scooter. 
It backs up.
It crashes into the rental scooter again. The scooter wobbles.
The scooter falls to the ground as the food delivery robot backs up again.
A driverless taxi crashes into both the scooter and the food delivery robot sending them flying.

Still need more baseball?

We found a CD in our archives containing dozens of unused voice lines from MLB Slugfest 20-03 rejected by the MLB. Here's some of our favorites.

My pet conspiracy theory:

Saudi Arabia doesn't give a shit about EA beyond its leverage into the NFL, the crown jewel of American sports. SA can't create a new league, LIV-style. But EA's monopolistic contracts with sports leagues like the NFL give SA a powerful position for further acquisitions

Also one of my predictions as well!
Might be a bit far fetched so say they will sell off the games studios, but not impossible.
The press release talks way too much about sports to not have that be a major play for the deal. Likely some tech+sports thing going to happen. Like tennis and golf rn.

$20,000,000,000 of debt financing is a shockingly large number to have to service, while also transitioning from a public to private organization and all the implications that has on the people that work in it.

We've obviously never seen anything like this at this scale in the industry before.

The job of being a game Producer, a GOOD Producer, looks very difficult to me.

You have to make room for several contradictory things all to be true at the same time:

The combination of IGN giving Silent Hill f a 7/10 and @tamoorh.com saying it's 10-12 hours is making this game absolutely irresistible, in case you are ever marketing a game specifically to me

Why β€˜Silksong’ Took Seven Years to Make The highly anticipated indie game has been in production for so long that it’s become an internet meme

BREAKING: Silksong will be out on September 4. Two weeks from today. Really.

Often, games that take 7+ years to make are plagued by mismanagement and painful burnout. But for Silksong? Team Cherry was having a blast. They still are.

This is their story: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Saw a lizard yesterday! Not quite sure what it is though. Pretty big and slimy looking. Maybe a Skink?

Listen. The more an analyst (especially financial) says they have complete confidence in any video game related forecast and won't even consider a potentially significant range of error or that their assumptions may end up being wrong the more you should throw that forecast into the bin.

GameStop I worked at 18 years ago (during Wii launch) has shut down for good.

I’ll never forget the time a confused woman came asking for the DS game her son wanted. She declared audibly, with sincerity:

β€œI’m looking for… Where you were touched?”

(see replies for the game…)
