It's free to play. Most of those 2 million people didn't spend a dime...

And a nonzero number played it just to shit on it

This is definitely true, thankfully most of the games I have claimed on EGS I either already owned on Steam, or preceded to buy there, so I usually get to them...eventually

But I rarely actually launch Epic to play a game. Just to claim one then immediately close it.

Talked to a few people in and around WB Games recently and most people seemed optimistic that Netflix would want to keep and grow that business. No idea if Paramount has any appetite for it. Their efforts in games have kinda been all over the place, mostly licensing Star Trek out.

With news of more games media layoffs, this seems like a good time to share my Indie Games Media starter kit โ€” itโ€™s more important than ever that readers directly support their favourite publications and writers.

The three tone colour scheme on the original 3DS was so cool.

Those glossy buttons, not so much

Kinda amazing that Trump shits on Canada and Mexico every day, and there's the Mexican-American captain of Canada's Toronto Maple Leafs, Auston Matthews, standing behind him as he defiles an Olympic Gold Medal

He hates your mother and your fans Auston Matthews but - you do you: be a collaborator

A Link to The Past was the second game I ever got, when I was only six, I was obsessed

Yeah no sure you're definitely fighting the good fight by getting mad about meows instead of doing literally anything else

There is no evidence to suggest he is being "manipulated" or "brainwashed" simply because he had some people who ended up being problematic do a cameo in his video game...that is a crazy conclusion to jump to

Edmund McMillen on assembling Mewgenics' meow cameo list: "the inclusion of people with clashing ideologies felt appropriate" We spoke to Mewgenics co-developer Edmund McMillen about putting together the game's list of internet celebrity meow cameos.

Being mad about who meowed in a video game about poop is an incredible waste of time and energy

I really want people to think about this. After all the insane lawsuits, all the threats, all the bullshit weve seen from this admin and the targets who kneeled in fear, an average Joe called the president a Pedophile protector to his face and didn't get touched. That's the Power of a union.

A tweet from @ futurevictim_ that reads "the only lasting 9/11 memory i have is when the budweiser ad with the kneeling clydesdales came on during the super bowl and i said "those horses are praying to mecca" and my friend's uncle got so mad that he had to go in the backyard"

Star Trek Enterprise scene. We're on ship and looking at Malcolm Reed in uniform, sitting,  expounding, and probably eating pineapple held just off camera. Closed caption reads, "I'm afraid I don't much follow football, sir."

We finally have a photo of the previously unseen Zelda 1 art on display at the Nintendo Museum.

The cartouche in the top right, subtitled "THE MAP OF HYRULE," depicts 3 fairy/goddess figures unfolding a cloth (making the world?). Miyamoto's signature is on the bottom right.

Epic made provably incorrect statements about the gameโ€™s content, refused to provide details supporting their claims, and has not shared their claimed AO IARC certificate, which normally includes a link for the developer to appeal. They do not โ€˜love that studioโ€™, they have effectively ghosted us

Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

Good news, bad news:๐ŸŽฎ Iโ€™d hoped my first blog post of the new year would celebrate The Sands of Time's release, butโ€ฆ www.jordanmechner.com/en/latest-ne...

Sands of Time is still easily one of my favourite 3D games ever

This is disappointing but thankfully the original still holds up great!

Google's new AI 'world model' has seemingly spooked videogame investors, but it's hard to know what it will actually lead to Can auto-generated "worlds" really be exciting?

I regret to inform everyone that the smartest money people out there are, overwhelmingly, dumb as a rock
