Six years ago, in October 2020, Blizzard announced the end of new content updates for StarCraft 2, its storied real-time strategy game, although it promised to continue supporting the game with tweaks and balance patches “as needed.” It’s followed through on that commitment over the years since, and today (technically yesterday, but I didn’t notice…
Just one click away. The Launch Stars in Super Mario Galaxy are pure cinema, from that spinning wind-up with the quick arpeggio to that compressed pause before a cannon-blast hurl into an arc unknown.

In the case of Amazon, it’s been very much in the lattermost category, though…
It’s been a big couple of days for Witcher fans as an expansion for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt was confirmed (after it was accidentally leaked on the RED Launcher, whoopsie). But thanks to a Q&A portion at the end of the financial call we also now know a bit more about CD Projekt Red’s…
So, Destiny 2 is going the way of the dodo—content updates will end in June, and a Destiny 3 likely isn’t even in the cards for Bungie. As someone who has had one of my favourite MMOs shut down before my eyes (and later given an official license to operate on a private server, score)…
