Whenever I interact with the PlayStation community I’m always struck by their passion and excitement for gaming. I saw this firsthand at E3 2014, when I teamed up with PlayStation and Fathom Events to bring the E3 Press Conference live to over 10,000 fans around the country as part of the PlayStation E3 Experience in…
Five unions representing Ubisoft employees in France have called for a “massive international strike by all Ubisoft employees” in response to the company’s recently-announced restructuring and return to office mandate.

A new dicebuilding game is on the way, taking the roguelite framework and applying it in an interesting-looking way by having you place your dice in a grid for synergies and effects. Plus, you’re a cute frog that’s eating bugs. Big bonus in my opinion. Die in the Dungeon is coming next year, and a…
