Great to attend the annual TIGA awards last night! Events like these showcase the breadth of creativity in the games sector from all corners of the industry. Now, to try not to succumb to picking up every single nominated title in the autumn/Black Friday sales... (I don't fancy my chances.)

I will tolerate much in the world of online discourse, but I will not suffer the suggestion that Balatro doesn't deserve a GOTY nomination. That is my red line and I will not see it crossed.

This game was just a blast to play and I am certain it'll continue to sell well in the run up to the Christmas period. This is what really surprised me though: "37% of buyers had not purchased any first-party software other than ASTRO BOT in the past two years." www.gematsu.com/2024/11/astr...
