Slay the Spire 2's concurrent Steam players just hit 179,456, the highest ever for any roguelike.

When StS1 first launched back in 2017, it had 193 concurrent players.

That's a 92,982% increase, meaning StS3 is on track to hit 166,861,777 concurrent players by 2035. 💪

Admittedly, have never been the biggest Pokémon guy, but am extremely interested to see what this Pokémon Day has in store. Especially for such a big milestone.

Update: it was not great but not as bad as I was expecting. However, the cost of everything I DO need to get done is absurdly expensive and I would like to cry, lol.

Just finished up part one of cleaning tho. They got my ass numb to high heaven.

Spencer retiring is, like, okay, he's been signaling that for a few years.

Bond not getting his job and instead leaving the company is imo the big story. Something went down there.

Paranormasight: The Mermaid's Curse Review - A Spine-Tingling Dive - Game Informer A Spine-Tingling Dive on the Game Informer website.

i never thought we'd get a second Paranormasight. but the new one trades some outright horror for better mysteries, tighter story, and a gorgeous locale.

The Mermaid's Curse is a fantastic adventure game. really enjoyed my time with it.

A fabricated statement from Nintendo of America's Twitter account addressing a fictitious scenario in which the Earth's oxygen supply is presumed to be depleting at a rapid pace, leaving humanity with mere days to live.

"This is Miyamoto. On behalf of everyone who is employed at Nintendo Co. LTD and its subsidiaries, we deeply mourn the countless human lives which will be lost due to the depletion of the global oxygen supply. To anyone who has ever played one of our games, we are eternally grateful to have created long-lasting fun and memories for you. To ease the suffering of families and children across the world, the Mario Kart World game for the Nintendo Switch 2 system will be available as a free download on Nintendo eShop for the foreseeable future. We hope this small gesture of kindness will ease the pain as humanity prepares for a worst-case scenario."

The statement is distastefully plastered with logos for Nintendo and Nintendo Switch 2, as well as with a render of Mario from Mario Kart World.

NintenDeen: "Simple: Nintendo is so depraved that they'd exploit a global crisis to boost the player count of the failed Mario Kart World and force consumers back into the Switch 2 ecosystem to boost sales and player numbers."

Had a dream that there was global panic about the world running out of oxygen, Nintendo was the only video game company to make a statement about it, and the internet collectively spent its final hours on Earth debating whether Nintendo was being genuine or not

Mewgenics is out today. It is an astonishing game that will undoubtedly be one of my favorites of 2026 and I cannot stop playing it, despite Steam telling me I'm at 73 hours (lord)

Video Games Need to Be Cheaper to Buy One way to get out of the video-game industry funk is to recognize that players aren’t spending $70 on most games

One takeaway from the DICE convention here in Las Vegas, where game makers gather to pitch and schmooze?

Most video games should not cost $70.

This week’s column: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

A few things can be true:

1. Yes, the game's poor trailer didn't do the game any favors.

2. 100k people tried it at the same time on Steam alone, it's not entirely accurate to say players didn't give it a chance.

3. When are devs going to reckon with performance being important for F2P releases?
