This is the most BASIC requirement of a game reviewer. The ability to push off predisposition to certain things and evaluate a game on its merits. Its very sad that we have some many amateurs now who simply can’t do that.

As a judge for @DevGAMM I’m playing lots of games that aren’t my cup of tea. I can’t judge them on that, I judge them on the craft in the area they’re aiming at.

Any review giving #GhostofYotei less than a nine is about the weirdest flex or clickbait you’ll see. @eurogamer obviously have to differ from parent @IGN .. but its sad to see reviews that don’t appreciate such incredible work.

Have had an insane amount of fun and joy this past couple of weeks playing 20 odd games as part of @devgamm.bsky.social judging. The endless creativity of indie developers is frankly awe inspiring, absolutely no worries for me about the future of gaming. It's alive and well.

They have a very healthy cashflow, so cut a load of less profitable stuff and the staff that go with it and ..

Brad Smith is probably not being very truthful here.

Blue Moon is on vacation for a couple of days. Huzzah.

Ha you are far too kind.

My daughter is a huge fan, have forwarded for her to respond. Congrats Toby.

Sony won. Nintendo remains a toy company as its always been. This has been true for nearly a decade now.

Beautiful

Sony were trying to solve a problem that was on the minds of many at the time, they panicked because they didn't have a live service game (and they looked at many before Bungie). Turns out they didn't need to, and picked a logical partner that went sideways and at COVID prices. Can happen.

And Sony bought Bungie for . . yeah . . Covid drove everyone to insanity.
