Matthew Ball’s State of Video Games in 2026 is now out (Early Access) and cover: 1⃣ Why revenue growth is more elusive than headlines suggest 2⃣Why video gaming has been losing the attention war for a half decade (and to what) 3⃣ Where there's indisputable growth www.matthewball.co/all/presenta...

The State of Video Gaming in 2026 by Matthew Ball / Epyllion — MatthewBall.co

In 2025, video gaming had more revenue and cultural weight than ever. Why, then, is growth (and even revenue ) so elusive? Why are player counts retreating across much of the developed world? And why...

🎮 New year, retro vibes. 1976. 1986. 1996. Three years that shaped video games as we know them. Which ones are turning 50, 40, or 30 in 2025? Let’s rewind. ⏪

Looking at my 2025 playtime stats, it’s no surprise I spent most of the year on Xbox Series X, discovering new and older games through Xbox Game Pass (courtesy of Microsoft). My PS5 and Switch 2 saw very little use. So, which games stood out most?

It's with great sadness that I learned of the passing of Thomas Wilson. He was art director and lead designer at @Behaviour Interactive, served as creative director and co-studio head at Beenox, and founded RuniQ. He was a mentor to me. My sympathy to his family. harmonia.ca/avis-de-dece...

I found a still-wrapped copy of the first game I was credited with as a design consultant. It was published 30 years ago by Tune 1000, which became better known for its karaoke software.

Spent 40 hours exploring the world of Eternal Strands, made in Quebec by @yellowbrickgames.bsky.social. The more I played it, the more I enjoyed it. I liked combining powers, taking down titans and exploring the various areas. It reminded me of Kingdom of Amalur and Shadow of the Colossus.
