When Blizzard said Diablo 4’s latest season was all about “becoming the boss,” I don’t think it meant they would become so powerful that they would control the stability of its servers. But here we are with yet another build that is so over-the-top the game can’t keep up with it. This time it doesn’t…
Capcom just released its consolidated financial results for the 2024 fiscal year, and the results look good. In fact, they look better than they ever have: In an accompanying press release, Capcom said it achieved its highest ever annual profits for the eighth year in a row, reporting a net income of ¥48.45 billion/$328 million….
Battle passes have a lot of problems when it comes to FOMO, but one of the worst ones is that they disappear after a season is over, locking you out of all the rewards you missed. It should be more common for games to let you keep them after they expire, or, better yet: not…
I have long suffered from RPG FOMO. It’s a debilitating condition that causes me to question every choice I make in roleplaying games. My selected spells, skills, and methods may “work” in the moment, but then I’ll hear about some incredible solution another player found that leaves me feeling inadequate. I’ve tried to curb this…
I thought Warner Bros. might keep the latest videogame-to-Hollywood adaptation in theaters longer since it’s brought in over $900 million globally at the box office since its release five weeks ago… but no. Just shy of the billion dollar milestone, A Minecraft Movie is now available digitally for home viewing. You can rent A Minecraft…
A little legal jousting with Nintendo hasn’t stopped Palworld from making new stuff. This summer, the survival game with totally-not-Pokémon will have a collab with eternally popular indie crafting game Terraria in its Tides of Terraria update. Pocketpair’s announcement post is pretty thin on details, but says that you’ll be able to “catch, train, fight,…
Friends, I have a disease. Not, uh, not one of the bad ones, I mean a disease of the mind. In any management-esque game—from Theme Hospital to Factorio—I am incapable of planning until it’s too late, until I have layered one haphazard system on another to an extent that I can’t easily go back to…
Microsoft announced plans today to cut 3% of its global workforce. With the most recent available headcount for the company thought to be around 228,000 last June, that translates into 6,840 firings. This latest cut follows a roughly 10,000-strong purge back in 2023 and a smaller round of firings in January this year. That latter…
Stop the presses, shutter your blinds, and cancel your weekend plans—Google’s just changed its logo. It’s changed its logo for the first time in 10 years. This is huge news in the world of marketing and branding. What, one wonders, is this tectonic shift to the face of one of the world’s biggest tech companies?…
I really don’t ‘get’ the buzz around modularity. For one, I like set-it-and-forget-it tech; once my keyboard is in situ, I’m not going to be regularly kickflipping it like a fingerboard to strap on extra bits. For another, my desk is messy enough as it is without a growing pile of modular attachments. As much…
