If I was the developer behind one of the biggest games over the last 10 years—one arguably responsible for the huge surge in ‘cosy gaming’ and the return of the glorious farming sim—I’d probably reckon I was a bit of a hotshot. Okay, I definitely wouldn’t because I forever suffer from a severe case of…
A look through AMD’s recently released financial reports shows an interesting addition compared to the previous year. In its list of risk factors to its business (a required part of a Form 10-K filing) and under a section entitled “Economic and market uncertainty may adversely impact our business and operating results”, AMD makes mention of…
A paradox: videogames? They’re pretty good. The videogame industry? It’s bad. Like, mondo bad. A brutal parade of layoffs and exploitation, where grinning execs make out like bandits and everyone else is grist for the mill. One day, of course, the revolution will come, sweep away bourgeois society like so much dust, and the era…

Stardew Valley is basically the videogame equivalent of Star Wars at this point—even if you’ve never seen a single movie, you probably still know who Darth Vader is. You’d think being an all-encompassing phenomenon would mean that every stone had been turned and every secret discovered. Well, nope. As Barone tells IGN in a recent…
If you’re anything like me, your Epic Games Store account is a kind of Library of Alexandria of free-but-unplayed games. Every so often you open the site, add whatever the current free game is to your collection, then never, ever, ever play them. Perhaps some day a long winter will come, and we’ll all sit…
Fair to say we’re all desperate for a way out of the AI-driven memory and storage supply crisis, right?
