Final Fanatasy XVI is okay with Dragons and magic spells but brown people are too unrealistic.

PSVR2 is gonna cost 550 bucks, which is about what I was expecting, but without backwards compatability I just can't find a reason to pick one up.

Look, NieR:Automata is one of my favorite games, and I really liked NieR:Replicant too. And at the end of Automata Yoko Taro Did A Thing. And it seems like he's going to be Doing A Similar thing with the Gacha game he writes for SINoAlice and I think it is brilliant.

I was sold on Remedy when I played Control, but am I sold enough to try their spooky Alan Wake games? Yes. Am I sold enough to try their multiplayer games? Absolutely not, no.

Netflix has gobbled up another studio, this time the ones behind the cute looking Animal Crossing like Cozy Grove: Spry Fox

https://www.pcgamer.com/cozy-grove-studio-spry-fox-now-belongs-to-netflix/

After being Embraced just a few months ago, the former Square Enix studio Onoma has been shut down, really making me feel good about my decision to not be in the Video Games market just yet.

The games industry continues to be tumultuous.

It seems like Microsoft has just layed off hundreds of staff, including from Xbox
