With just about everyone out there weighing in on the Marathon situation, I wasn’t sure if I really wanted to write anything about it myself. After all, what is there to add at this point? It’s a terrible situation that was entirely avoidable, and is likely to lose Sony an insane amount of money and…

Former PlayStation CEO Weighs-In on Game Prices
When Nintendo revealed its pricing plans for Nintendo Switch 2 and things related to it, outrage immediately spread throughout the gaming sphere. Just about everything about it was cause for concern, but the most distressing piece of news for many was that Nintendo would (and is still planning to) charge $70 for most Switch 2…
Japan Studio Closed Because Sony Doesn’t Want AA Games, Says Shuhei Yoshida
Despite the struggles AAA has been going through over the past year or so, it seems at least one major industry player, Sony, is still very focused on big budget titles. The focus has, seemingly, even grown to the point where even long-lived and much-beloved studios like Japan Studios are now being shuttered to bolster…
Sony May Not Be Going Disc-less Just Yet After All
For a long time now, the vidoe game industry has been steadily chasing this dream of an all-digital future, where physical media is all but extinguished and games are all streamed via the internet. This future has been all but realized on PC save for the streaming requirement, but publishers have not yet been able…
Sony May Be Working on a New Handheld Console
Ever since the release of the Switch, Nintendo has pretty much been the only game in town for handheld gaming. Yes, there is the Steam Deck, which is a great option for playing PC games on the go, but it’s not exactly in direct competition with Switch in the way that the 3DS and PS…

Its main feature is a customizable home screen that’ll display different things based on how users are interested in seeing and how they arrange it.

It Seems More than Half of PS’s Live Service Games Failed
A little while ago, we learned that PlayStation (Sony) wanted to make a major push towards live service model games. While perhaps not the whole future for PlayStation, it was very clear that the platfom-holder wants a piece of the Fortnite, Overwatch, PUBG pie. Well, we’re now at least a year into the execution and…
Helldivers 2 Delisted in a Bunch of Countries
If you’ve been following Helldivers 2 at all, then you’re probably already aware of the ongoing controversy surrounding the PSN linking requirement. I’m mostly tired of it myself, so I’m not really here to recap all of it. Rather, I just want to comment on this latest story and see what your thoughts on all…
Mechs Dropped “Early” for Helldivers 2
Late on Sunday, Helldivers 2 players got a big surprise with the sudden addition of mechs into the game. Now mechs were apparently announced a long time ago, so their existence isn’t the surprise. Rather it’s theirs and other vehicle’s sudden surfacing that is. How it’s come about is not yet clear at the time…
Looking Longingly at PC Gaming
There was a time when I thought consoles were (and would always be) the best way to play. They were so much easier and faster than PCs and I’ve always much preferred a gamepad to keyboard controls. Of course, the years have seen most, if not all, the advantages of console gaming slowly get whittled…
