I've sent out a lot of media kits in my time and they're incredibly time consuming to create (often months and months), expensive & shipping is challenging to organise. We also take a lot of time to choose who they go to because we hope they'll love them. It's a bit grim to see this instantly sold.

It would be wonderful if we could stop framing games as studio versus studio. All developers care about all games. I've never once heard a developer talk about another in this way. Most are simply glad to be doing what they love, while watching others do the same.

I work a lot with Steamworks, to delist a product on Steam you have to physically mail their support and ask for the product delisting. It's not an error, it's a direct act to remove it. partner.steamgames.com/doc/store/re...

I'm sort of hoping not

Sure, if you only look at AAA and choose to ignore everything else

If he didn't obsess about Hollywood voice actors (that genuinely no one gives a shit about) you could probably have the budget instantly.

I've watched the @skillup.bsky.social video on Wolverine twice. I literally cannot believe what I'm seeing. Maybe because I don't play AAA, but is this where we're at? Genuinely stunned

Incredibly rare that I put pen to paper any longer, but when I do it's normally about all things Guild Wars. I was fortunate enough to see it at #gamescom and MMORPG.com were kind enough to house my thoughts. www.mmorpg.com/previews/pre... @guildwars2.com

Preview: Guild Wars 3: A Beacon Of Hope For An Entire Genre? - Gamescom 2026 | MMORPG.com
Lewis had the chance to check out Guild Wars 3 during a behind closed door meeting at gamescom 2026, and came away plenty impressed. Here are our thoughts on what we saw.

Is this the same guy that gave a 1.0 launch date because the price will rise after release, to see people rush to buy, only to rug pull the date by 6 months?

Seeing quite a lot of discussion about gamescom, stolen items and security. Just got clarity, there's absolutely none of value - walls, booths, doors, are all easily bypassed, there's no security outside of predictable sections and during B2B days and off-hours it's a free-for-all.

Can any journalist I know please cover the laughable Star Citizen stream last night by the dev team, that shows even in a controlled environment the game is a buggy pile of shit 😂
