It was a struggle this week. Video games finally pushed me to the edge. It seems that I broke my skull into a brick wall into eternity, without making such a large dent. Each step forward leads only to disappointment and confusion. Of course, I saw some neat things along the way, but was it worth it? Is that all that is? Infinite wandering. Slow march against the all -consuming tide of meaningless, merciless chaos?
God. Children's steps He ruined me.
I used the fact that the little sanity that I left after playing the last miraculously surprisingly angry opus of Bennett Foddy to fight Newsweek, which felt like a plague sent from the ancients. Every Monday I pray for a “quiet”, and the Universe is responsible for a well -known shoeman to the face. This time it seemed to me that they were on space.
These are boots for steel socks for those of you outside the UK.
In just five days we saw how EA sells his soul to Saudi Arabia and son -in -law Donald Trump Jared Kushner, Microsoft raises the price of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate by 50 percent (do not worry, the company said that this is actually a very good thing for players), and more places in such studios as Starbreez and Starbreez and Funcom.
The plus is that in the end we will reach the bottom, and from there it is a direct shot back to the top. At least this is what Manchild taught me, dressed in single clothes. Woah Woah Woah. IN Children's steps Certainly. For whom did you take me?
Through the status of Fortnite (Epic Games) on X // Here is a strange one that can serve as a warning story that it is the danger of uncontrolled coagulation of IP. Epic games this week deleted the peacekeeper dance from Fortnite From -with fears, this can have thin Nazi images that are associated with the plot line of the 2nd season of the show. In fact, some people wondered whether one pose was designed to simulate a swastika in a thin nod to the fact that peacekeepers partially occur in an alternative dimension, where the United States became a fascist paradise. Can you imagine? Since then, the Evere has been changed and restored after Epic jumped into the blower in Warner Bros., and confirmed that “there were no creative intentions to connect the peaceful hips and the current storyline of the peacemaker.”
Through the developer of the game // I know, I know. You saw this title that made the rounds all week, but let me refresh your memory, because I think it will take some time. Affinity Partners. The last is the investment company created by the son -in -law of US President Donald Trump Jared Kushner, so EA, in fact, was purchased by a nation suffering from violations of human rights, and Star Spanged Lunatic's Lackey.
Through the developer of the game // Here is a hunter to wash this shot. Soon after the announcement of his example of $ 55 billion, EA published an internal FAQ, sent to convince the employees that there would be no “immediate” dismissals after the transaction. The company also promised to contribute to the culture of creativity, innovation, passion, determination, training and teamwork under its new owners. These are allegedly the same values that he at present heals, although we noticed that EA did not use such words as “inclusion” and “diversity”, which at the time of writing of the company and culture of the company throughout the page. What can this mean?
through Bloomberg // Do you see a tendency here? The completion of our trilogy associated with EA is mandatory for reading is the Bloomberg report, which destroys the dependence on the ransom of $ 20 billion on the JP Morgan & Change-Walking obligation in the entire history of one bank for such a transaction, can influence the private share capital industry. It is noteworthy that Bloomberg claims that the debt will be sold using high-profit bonds and borrowed loans with a rating in the Single-B range. According to the American company, S&P Global business analyticsThis is an assessment used to refer to “speculative” rates that are “more vulnerable to adverse business and economic conditions”.
Through the developer of the game // Microsoft continues to succeed in squeezing the whole leg into the mouth. The company followed its recent round of mass dismissals and the closure of the studio, increasing the price of the Xbox console in the United States (for the second time this year). Bad times. Now he has increased the price of the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate by 50 percent and processed the entire service at about three levels to ensure “greater flexibility, choice and value for all players”. How did the news go with subscribers? Well, the website used to cancel the subscription to Xbox Game Pass, it would seem, crashed within a few minutes after the announcement of the newsWhat all this actually says.
Through the bottle of the game // Here is a cool thing.

The company said that now it intends to double the franchise to a salary, which has recently experienced its fair share of problems. Starbreeze emphasized that he will try to convey some members of the Baxter team internally. News come quite late on the same day when you think that Bakster received a preliminary release date of 2026.
Through the developer of the game // Dune: Awakening It seems that it will deliver goods, and then some for the developer Funcom. The studio said that the survival title on the Internet was its “best -selling game in history” after he collected more than 1 million sales within a few weeks after launch, and promised to gain his weight to the project to a greater extent. Now, just a few months later, the company makes an unsolved number of employees excessive in the alleged efforts in the direction of resources for “new content, functions and improvement” when moving to the release of the console. It is difficult not to abandon the studio that dismisses workers just a few months after he announced an unprecedented success, but this is in a nutshell of the modern video game industry.
