Yeah this is good stuff. Very intrigued to see what happens with Xbox over the next five or so years. Suspect Seamus Blackley might be on the money...

This is a very important quote from the interview that I hope every single company hoping to capitalize on the gaming industry reads and internalizes. Games are a unique market, and you can't just apply strategies from other industries and find success. This has been proven time and time again.

Thank god. A month or two too late but whatever. Worst appointment we’ve made in my lifetime. Poch in the summer 🙏🙏🙏
Just can’t see the board doing what needs to be done. They staked too much on Frank and can’t/won’t want their first big decision to be seen as such a colossal error. For me, if we stick with him we go down. Simple as that really.
This is absolutely tremendous.
One of many killer lines: "Bartlett is, if you want a shortcut to understanding him, a sentient LinkedIn post in a turtleneck." normallondonbloke.substack.com/p/mind-the-r...
Not sure the players bought into him in the first place. It cannot be worse than this, you’re right. Just pull the trigger and let us move past this horrific period in our history
I beg you to end this pain, football gods. Please put him out of his misery. This is just rancid, week after week
I’ve already watched one too many Thomas Frank Spurs games in 2026
Giant of the industry with an imperious legacy. Very sad news
It can’t be *nine* game awards good can it?! I have it preloaded but haven’t hit start yet - and it’s been looking at me for about five months. I’ll take the plunge soon but don’t expect me to finish it before 2027. Bit time poor since my daughter arrived last year
Making my return to writing and veering away from my newsletter’s raison d’etre… here I am having a moan about football slop and the low-hanging fruit we’re surely ready to move away from 🙏 open.substack.com/pub/jayjaffa...
Always nice to look back. 2024 was a good year wasn't it? Those first few months with Helldivers 👌
Brilliant title fight last night at #UFC323. Highlight being the body kick at 5.06 here. Sounded like a gunshot 😦: www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRIn...
Hmmm. Did anyone want this? I’ll investigate so you don’t have to:
Still the case. Actually getting worse week by week. If this is what a serious football club looks like I want to be stupid and chaotic again. Clueless stuff from the first minute.
Love Tim Urban. Love this. Very amusing insight into what I’ve got coming approximately a year from now: waitbutwhy.com/2025/10/todd...
By my calculations, this is the first time in Football Manager history that I've not been there for the Beta. Not downloading immediately, not setting up a file in a Balkan backwater. If this is what 40-years-old means... I'm not sure I like it. But good luck all. Go well.
Football is meant to be entertaining and/or fun. I am having zero fun watching Frank’s Spurs. It is mind-numbingly boring stuff at the moment.
I could watch Alan Carr as a Traitor for the rest of my days tbh
Bad performance (again). Good resilience (again). Still a lot to come (I hope) from Frank's Tottenham
We'll be there 😁
Big congrats! My daughter has just turned 1, so whilst these are a bit advanced for her at the moment, you better believe they're noted down for when the time comes!
Huge news and yeah, instinct is this is not good news for gamers. Not good at all. Can't imagine FC or Madden will see drastic changes as two of their biggest cash cows - expect monetisation of FUT and MUT will be turned up a few notches at least. A lot of jobs will be vanishing too. Bad bad bad.
Lovely stroll down memory lane with this piece of writing. I don't remember the moment I saw this particular glitch - guess it would have been early 90s - but there really was something special about discovering something like this (often just through word of mouth) www.bbc.co.uk/culture/arti...
Ugly performance, good result. It’s early days but feel like we’ll be saying that a lot this season. Seem to be relying on moments of magic from Xavi/Kudus/Bergvall and set pieces, which is fine…when you’re winning. Win is a win though
Fulham signing Kevin and George on deadline day really is the stuff of dreams. Lovely work in west London
Can't make it to Spurs today but what a splendid weekend ahead. Wall-to-wall football, F1 back after the summer break, probably something else massive I'm missing too. Lovely weather! Cold and crisp, just how we like the end-of-summer transition 🍃
Hideous week for hideous platform Kick. Rampage Jackson's son should be tried for attempted murder, let alone face a ban from the streaming platform. This follows Jean Pormanove's death a few days ago. All in all...a dreadful place, hosting dreadful people, with very little moderation. Ban.
