Super impressive to see Peak hit 4.5M in such a short time, happy for the teams at Aggro Crab and Landfall!

Good to see those kind of success stories despite the ongoing Xbox discourse...

Anyway Daiwa Scarlet is the best racer.

Steam is having a Box-Pushing Fest and Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver isn't part of it. What are we even doing anymore?

Amazon France is breaking ranks with other Amazons on Switch 2 to price match with other FR retail.

439,- euro for regular
499,99 euro with Mario Kart

Still 469,99 / 509,99 at Amazon DE... for now. You can ship from FR to DE 🤷‍♂️

Someone saw "DUSK" and "New Blood" and wanted to steal their SEO obviously @dave.newblood.games

The day when Assassin's Creed no longer lets you do this is the day I'll lose interest in playing them.

This is one franchise that will never need realistic NPC AI.

According to Barron's, Pachter was also once the CEO of Take Two so journalism is going great!

Maybe that was why he thought it was a bad move for TTWO to reject the EA takeover offer back in '08 or so.

Just noticed Wedbush is on the record being a biggest hater for 3 years straight, gotta respect that.

I love that the joke was GameStop would announce buying bitcoin, and that's exactly what happened. Sure, just pump it 8% regardless of fundamentals; it's just vibes anyway 🤷‍♂️.

Rarely agree with Pachter on things but he's right on the money with his commentary here: finance.yahoo.com/video/gamest...

Too bad it costs 150 euro to be able to play disc games on PS5 Pro.

The usual suspects are going to say KCD2 has anything to do with this, and not Asmodee splitting off as a separately listed company, aren't they.

Watched 7500 and Carry-On this weekend and these two movies have 1.5 Joseph Gordon-Levitts between them.

The potential impact of US tariffs on physical games and accessories is an interesting one. There are some factors and trends to look at beyond pure COGS = higher prices. Just some thoughts:

Don't worry, it could be worse.

Don't sleep on REDnote for your social strategy!

But if you do, there's two ways to go about it:

1. Xiaohongshu
2. Xiaohongmimimi

Anyway I just got an ad for XHS inside TikTok with zero localization attempt. 2025 is off to a start of a year.

Don't blame Jensen for saying quantum computing is 20 years away and then seeing your quantum stock drop 40%.

I don't expect retail investors to understand quantum physics, but maybe don't hop on a hype train thinking it gets you rich fast for cheap, if you don't understand what the tech is about.

That's a wrap on Indiana Jones and the Great Circle! Great game, looking forward to a next one 😉

Pretty sure doing 100% at least doubled the playtime, hopefully they add in a "show all collectables on one map" option down the line as a QOL update.
