Handmade platformer adventure with traditional animation! No (de)generative AI used in the process of creating the game!

The Switch 2 will literally be $500 in September.

[IGN @IGN]

The $500 console is dead. Even after the RAM crisis ends, the era of affordable gaming hardware is gone for good. https://t.co/NxV0y5fDvs

-Artificially limit physical options to encourage digital sales
-Count all DLC + mtx as digital sales
-Count physical key cards as digital sales
-Release codes in box to confuse casual consumers
-Conflate physical sales data with digital only releases

It's all by design btw

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 - Switch 2 Edition makes a much needed change to the field skill system:

Field Skills now count for every Blade you’ve acquired. Players no longer need to sift through menus to equip a combination of Blades that have the correct lineup of skills.

Splatoon Raiders is pretty lit.

Is this physical media I see?

It doesn't matter how much people try to argue otherwise, exclusives have always mattered.

Switch 2 was the #1 console sold in the US for the month of June.

It remains the best selling system overall in 2026.

Star Fox debut at #4 (Physical + Digital Prediction).

Look at Nintendo promoting an actual monster tamer.

Download the offline installer of any of your games on GOG, save it to a disc and it's yours forever.

You don't need a storefront's permission to play what you bought.

GOG has taken a shot at Sony's decision to stop making PlayStation game discs in 2028, reminding people why many PC gamers like DRM-free games.

GOG posted on X:

"Download the offline installer of any of your games on GOG, save it to a disc, and it's yours forever. You don't need a storefront's permission to play what you bought."

GOG lets you download offline installers for every game you buy.
That means you can back them up and install them anytime, even without the GOG launcher or an internet connection.

DRM-free games, once you buy them, you can keep your own copy and play it whenever you want.

Apparently, Ubisoft Connect is down for hundreds of gamers right now.

People are having trouble trying to pla Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced, a single-player game.

Another reason why an online requirement in single-player games is a terrible idea.

Zack Sabre Jr. beats Shota Umino in the opening night of G1 Climax 36 to get his first 2 points!

AWESOME MATCH BETWEEN THEM.

A Brazilian PC gamer says he successfully sued Microsoft after his account was blocked and he was told to repurchase his digital games.

According to the user, a Brazilian court ruled that Microsoft must restore access to his account within 15 days or face daily fines.
The court also ordered the company to pay R$2,000 (around US$400) in compensation for moral damages.

The court document states that Microsoft must unblock the account linked to the user’s email and return access to all games and content associated with it.

W Brazil 🇧🇷

[Culture Crave 🍿 @CultureCrave]

Brazil has proposed a bill with new protections for gamers 🇧🇷

• After support ends, publishers would need to either enable offline play, provide the community with tools to keep the game running, or offer proportional refunds

• Publishers would have to disclose online-server requirements and guarantee at least 2 years of support after launch in Brazil

• Players would need to be notified at least 180 days before a game's online services are shut down

• Lawmakers have also requested an investigation into Sony’s plan to end physical PlayStation disc production in 2028
