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...

The industry at large is failing because they're putting all their eggs in AAA and exclusivity. It's exactly the point.

Lewis | ICO Partners @persistentworld.bsky.social · 11/09/2026
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.

Morgan my wallet can't take any more, but in this instance I parted with my cash.

It's unreal isn't it? It's almost like they asked what does every AAA do badly? Let's include it.

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

Never played the game (always wanted to) - what does one do when reaching the planet? Is there actually anything there?

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

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?

Honestly, if we say no embargo it's genuinely - 'get to it when you're able, we appreciate you taking the time and know you're busy'

Lewis | ICO Partners @persistentworld.bsky.social · 31/08/2026
I quite like no embargo - publish when you like 😅
