Nick was an invaluable member of SEGA fandom. His own contributions to SEGAbits include an interview with Takashi Iizuka and a Retro Gamer collector’s corner article about myself. Honored to have known him.
This is absolutely heartbreaking news.

He's such an unpleasant person.
Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney has shared comments regarding his perspective on generative AI diclosures.
"It makes no sense for game stores, where AI will be involved in nearly all future production."
"Why stop at AI use? We could have mandatory disclosures for what shampoo brand the developer uses."

Inspired by RPGs of the '90s, Quartet is Something Classic's proof that they've grown up and become more confident with age, and that there's room for continued growth to match their ambition. Our review: https://www.rpgsite.net/review/18986-quartet-review

I love them both. They were the best possible introduction to Metroid when I was ready to try out the series.
- Metroid Prime (GameCube)
- Metroid Fusion (Game Boy Advance)
Released November 17th, 2002.
23 years ago TODAY!
These are two AWESOME Metroid games that brought Samus Aran back from an 8 YEAR hiatus.
You can't go wrong with either, but play BOTH of them if you haven't.
Trust me.💫

Hard to make a game with generation defining expectations on its shoulders when you're watching colleagues get thrown to the curb.

Good on Sega JP to recognize the global cost of living challenges and adjust salaries upward for the well being of their employees. Other companies should follow this example.
