Glad to see, but this really should not have happened in the first place! Can only imagine the stress Dave and Richard were under with this.

Can't speak for each outlet but feels like we've hopefully got lots of great coverage planned for GTA coming up on the BBC - I get the sentiment about TV coverage / bulletins specifically though. That said the BBC did cover Lost Records & it came out in 2025 so can't see the correlation to GTA!

I was wondering on stream last night what to call Big Walk's more refined version of the "friendslop" games we've been seeing. @schillingc.bsky.social's "friendgourmet" might be the closest to it in hie @eurogamer.bsky.social review... www.eurogamer.net/big-walk-rev...

Could rising costs mean people stop needing consoles and play through cloud gaming? Amazon's Head of Gaming Jeff Gattis told me he can see this happening over the next few years. Unsurprising given he's in charge of Luna - but could this be the way gaming's going? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Jeff Gattis said the rising cost of gaming tech is likely to mean more people will stream their games online.
