After reporting the news, games media must now grapple with what the call to boycott Xbox means for us. I wrote about why we must and how we can orient games writing towards liberation. Games nor words alone will save us, but we can as individuals express solidarity and possibility in all we do.
Games media can't ignore BDS Xbox boycott

Federal immigration enforcement officials called off a planned raid on Canal Street today shortly before it was slated to begin.

New Yorkers who heard about the raid showed up at the garage where the feds had gathered, and as federal agents tried to leave, the NYPD cleared the way for them.

if the Atlantic covered games (besides that one time they just wanted to support jkr) we’d probably have an air riders review bemoaning its tutorialization being made for the dopamine-addled attention deficit baby tiktok addicted generation that can’t READ game manuals (that don’t exist anymore)

if you liked Clair Obscur, i would also say XC3 lives in the same thematic territory but, imo, is a better take on most of it

playing MKW with my partner who is someone who did not remember the controls at first but they said they like the intermission races and I feel like this proves a point about the consensus being a streamer/time trial thing

part of me is trying to reason why Fionna and Cake being fan service feels better than something like Arcane 2 but idk if it’s just cus I’m the fan being served rn. It is additive and the characters all feel consistent too, there’s conflict so it’s not too…cozy. like I just don’t mind what it is.

still can’t believe this exists T_T
In Dud Gold (ft. @renko.studio), Reina Kousaka is not doing well. She's just lost a trumpet audition and had her gay awakening to the girl who defeated her, who maddeningly reminds her of someone.

Have been really enjoying doing these letter series with @mads.haus , with this one tackling criticism and collective takes, springboarding off our love of Mario Kart World despite YouTube constantly complaining about how it's the worst game ever.

I generally try not to comment on Twitter but Isaac Chotiner is over there giving Semafor body blows right now and I just want to say I find it alarming that he's allowed to come for you without warning (asking for an interview)

this is not a drag of the writer of this particular piece, which is largely sympathetic, but this line of argument makes me nuts

young people are involved in protest and organizing at several levers of power—but they're not able to show up to photo op street rallies at the same rates as retirees
My @nytimes.com op-ed: The Boomers Are Protesting Trump. Where Is Gen Z? www.nytimes.com/2025/11/24/o... (gift link)

The key point: "The absence of young people from conventional protests is both a problem and a warning."

EXCLUSIVE: So far it's been unclear what proof Rockstar Games has to justify its firing of 34 union members, who it claims were leaking "confidential information in a public forum".

PMG has now seen some of the messages which contributed to this decision being made.
