Huge shout to all the sales planners, analysts and demand planning folks trying to compile sales reports all day for execs that will glance at them on their phones while with friends and family and maybe send a "thx" if they reply at all. I see you!

The standard reason a company would cancel a second DLC pack is demand slowed down to a point where it doesn't make sense to continue.
#AssassinsCreedShadows showed a respectable sales rate out the gate, but we can safely assume sales slowed down too much.

Oh wow so people ignored this reality to push the narrative that another company's device before it came out was dead now articles for attention and clicks 😱
They were never going to subsidize it because they don't need marketshare and why would they risk losing money on an unproven device 🤷🏿♂️

A New REPLACED Trailer looks to be on the way
2025 has been an incredible year for video games, and 2026 looks to be equally fantastic, with titles like Grand Theft Auto 6, Fable, Halo Campaign Evolved, Wolverine and more coming to gamers on various platforms. One game I'm really looking forward to is something a little smaller, a little more indie in nature - REPLACED. And it looks like the development team at Sad Cat Studios might be readying a new REPLACED trailer for us to enjoy - the only question is - is this for The Game Awards, or for Xbox's upcoming Partner Preview?

Valve: We're pricing it on the same level of an entry level PC.
Gaming Media: Let's ignore that it doesn't play all the popular eSports titles that young people want to play and it's going to be super cheap and kill the brand we all hate.
Me: It will 600 to 800 and a good niche secondary device.

Analysts in the gaming industry say the dumbest things with the most unearned confidence.
The console's hardware is around $500 in parts and that's without the controller. Seems....unlikely that Valve would sell this new console at the base price of a Steam Deck and eat a $100+ loss per unit.
