This is the real dark side of social media. People tend to engage more with stuff that makes them angry or sad than happy. Building content around this sends you down a dark spiral (see also: all the YouTube rage baiters are always chasing the next thing that will make people even angrier).

It's funny/sad that after years of pandemic struggling and whatever else created the big hole in their release calendar, Xbox finally kinda started shipping good games at a somewhat regular pace, but this new leadership is going to roll in and take all the credit.

This lines up with a lot of my thoughts on it. I also think the speed with which Roblox developers jack concepts from each other to further optimize their games for monetization is fascinating and shouldn't be in something that gets pushed to kids. It's like the worst version of best practices.

From myself and the whole team at @eurogamer.bsky.social, a very fond farewell and huge thank you to our friends and colleagues (thread).💙
Hello everyone. I come with the sad news that as you are no doubt already aware, we're saying goodbye to several of our friends and colleagues here at Eurogamer. Leaving us are Tom Orry, our editorial director; our video team of Ian Higton, Zoe Delahunty-Light, and Alix Attenborough; Alex Donaldson, our editor-at-large; and Will Judd, who worked across Digital Foundry, hardware and deals.

I'll start with Tom, who over the past year-plus had made himself a hugely valuable source of advice, expertise, desert-dry humour and world class poker faces (I think we just about made him laugh once, for a moment, on his final day). 

Tom initially began the role when Tom Phillips was our editor-in-chief here, mostly working away diligently in the background in a two-Tom-tandem doing editorial director things, before taking on a more prominent role on the site itself over the past 11 or 12 months, gracing us with some signature console nostalgia and unjustifiably intense Project Gotham Racing enthusiasm. Tom, Dom, Alex and I, along with the rest of the team, worked together closely on what a 'new Eurogamer' might look like last year, and his experience in running multiple games media sites was consistently our rock to lean on. 

While he may have initially seemed an outsider of sorts compared to Eurogamer chiefs of old - at least to some on the surface, coming from his 20-plus years across our sister sites VG247 and USGamer, and before that the cult-favourite site he founded in our once-rival VideoGamer - I can't stress enough how much Tom 'got' Eurogamer. His goal was for us to be at the heart of the big stories that mattered most to our readers with original, diligent reporting and on-the-button commentary, and that will absolutely continue.

In immaculately on-brand, limelight-dodging Orry style, Tom opted to sneak his farewell into this past weekend's What We've Been Playing column, but I'll be damned if he gets away with it that easily. Sorry Tom. Here's what he had to say…

Titanfall 2's campaign is nothing short of a masterpiece, and what a gift it was for all of us. Such heart, incredible design, impeccable mechanics. Nearly ten years later it more than holds up, it remains arguably the pinnacle of the genre. If you've never played it, please do so.

We use distant black holes to know the position of Earth in space. If we invented GPS and didn’t use them to confirm our position, GPS would be inaccurate and unusable because we could not tell the precise positioning of Earth even though we’d know the relationship between your car and a satellite.
