One confounding takeaway from the data is that the games market in Japan is bigger than ever, with the PC space nearly matching consoles for economic impact, while there…

PC gaming has natural ebbs and flows. There are years that absolutely blow me out of the water and ones that fade into the mists shortly after they’re gone.

Five years after its creation, we asked David Cage to revisit Kara, offering his commentary to the demo, and in…
