It is rare that I sit down and write one of these ‘CEO has spoken’ articles with a charitable mind, mostly because I have this irritating habit of punching up, but also because they are, typically, a little divorced from reality.

Pope Leo XIV has just issued his first encyclical letter since being elected in 2025, calling for a ‘safeguarding of the human person in the time of artificial intelligence’. Titled ‘Magnifica Humanitas‘ (‘magnificent humanity’ in Latin),…
Working out how to tame the Baby Wyvern pet in Crimson Desert is relatively complicated, especially if you’re not that patient. Unlike the Phoenix, who you have to trick-shoot from the sky, or the Iron Eagle, which consumes a bar of platinum, taming this flying beast is far more relaxed. You basically have to find…
Do you remember where you were just over a year ago, on May 6, 2025? That’s when Rockstar released its second trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 and also confirmed its updated release date: May 26, 2026. Neither can I, but I do know I was excited as all hell alongside every other gamer, and…
