There’s a reason that we’re in 2026 and still see so few life sims on the market: they’re incredibly freakin’ hard to make. That’s not just me spouting my opinion, it’s something that the developers behind games like The Sims, Inzoi, and prematurely cancelled Life by You have said in the past. There are so…
As much as I enjoy a gacha pull as a little treat, I’m not overly jazzed about how inescapable gambling mechanics have become in games—or anywhere else, for that matter. So-called prediction markets are also becoming increasingly popular, and one Google engineer has been arrested for allegedly leveraging insider information to place bets on Polymarket,…
The 1,000 developers that Epic Games laid off in March were, in the words of CEO Tim Sweeney, of “once-in-a-lifetime” quality—and a website that compiles their resumes proves it. The ex-Epic Awesome People List comprises 545 entries and shows just how wide and deep the layoffs cut. It hit young developers learning their trade and…
As we march ever further into our bright AI future, it’s somehow reassuring to know the tech can still stumble at the first hurdle. Or concerning, one of the two.

But Marvel Rivals has had a particularly rough time with cheaters as of late. To stretch out the above analogy…
Marathon’s second season is just days away from kicking off, and amid all the changes and hype its devs are spreading the word that its first week will be free to play for those prospective players who’ve been too stingy to try it out so far (me). “Season 2 begins on June 2 and kicks…
Last week, Samsung narrowly swerved a planned South Korean factory strike with a last-minute deal. The workers’ union had agreed to not go ahead with the strike planned to commence on May 21 as it put a fresh proposal to an internal vote. That vote has since taken place, with 74% of union members voting…
Just the other day, I speculated that Samsung is closing in on perfection with its latest 4K, 32-inch QD-OLED panel for gaming monitors. Well, that perfection has quite possibly just arrived. Samsung has announced a new, upgraded panel with a higher 360 Hz refresh and true RGB-stripe subpixel structure. Oh, and it’s the first consumer…
