In recent years, the media has quietly begun to change the way in which it writes about Bobby Kotick, the former CEO of Activision Blizzard. PMG investigates how Kotick used the threat of defamation to reshape his legacy in the games business, one article at a time. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKwp...

This stuff depresses me to no end. I saw a repost of an animated short released 5 years ag by a big studio the other day and since it was rather unknown, the entire comment section claimed it was just GenAI .. we’re doomed.

It surprises me that the Game Designers Award within Japan Game Awards is ending after 16 years. According to Sakurai, the reason is that “there is no one to replace me”. I hope this doesn’t happen to Smash. 😨 1/

That was mostly a pressure tactic. But yeah, one day we will keep getting smash without him as long as it sells.

Poor reporting by Kotaku and other outlets. As I shared yesterday, Foxconn is doing a massive production run of Switch 2, and the Zelda Edition will most likely be restocked regularly: ninpatentswatch.com/2026/09/10/f... 1/

Foxconn Data Suggests Switch 2 Zelda Edition Will Restock

Record Foxconn revenues in Jul–Aug 2026 (~US$690M/month) signal massive Switch 2 production. Don’t buy from scalpers—restocks of the Zelda Edition are likely.

Doesn’t have to be a dumpster fire to not make sense financially. It could be conceived as too niche / weird AND too expensive, so the investment would not be worth it for Sony. We don’t know much details about it.

In case it wasn't clear, here is economist Francisco Rodríguez saying that this "deal" will only generate tax value for Venezuela that represents 4.7% of the sale price. That's less than half the royalty rate it received when US friendly dictator (Juan Vicente Gómez) sold out to US oil companies.

Text reads: President: according to your figures, this agreement will generate tax revenues of just $3.22 per barrel of Venezuelan oil. This represents 4.7% of the current price, and less than half of the royalty rate contemplated in concessions granted by Juan Vicente Gómez.

I know this has been the case to a degree for a while but in recent years with the increased ad cadence it’s becoming unbearable. It’s also not even a variety, but like 3-4 I get a dozen times a day. Google is technically easily capable of flagging them for review, but yeah, why stop the money …

YouTube ads are pure dystopia. 9 out of 10 ads are literally scams or fake mobile games, almost all of them AI generated. You can’t tell me that Google doesn’t look away to profit off these advertisers until they annoy you enough to sign up for Premium. Disgusting.

TIL: Some Japanese products show the economic fallout of the US-Iran war and the closure of the strait. Our local import stores in Canada now have these black / white versions of popular potato chips. Not a special edition, but the need to save naphtha (color print), which is made from oil.

At this point I'm pretty sure no one who negotiates with this administration expects it to either offer a reasonable deal or to honor the terms of the deal once it's been set. The question is whether to treat it like the unreliable bully it is. We have Canada's answer, for now at least.
