Hi-Rez Studio is likely shutting down
all of their games are going offline in early 2025
they have one game in development, that will make or break the studio/publisher to-be-revealed at the Game Awards
Smite will probably get bought by someone else

I get why people are mad at Life is Strange DE now
the writing is bad, sure w/e
but the random studio they gave the game to, actively just shit on everything from the original game
I thought it was just a case of people nitpicking that their tumblr fan theories weren't being validated
but no, Deck Nine studios is just hilariously vindictive or something about having to make this game

kickstarter is just a board game pre-order website appak
wtf is a RoR board game even going to be though
ohhhhh
ohhhhhh
bro
no fuckng way
this random no-name company is making it
Randy Pitchford's wife is making the board game tie-in to the Risk of Rain IP he bought
it's her first board game too, wrote a middling TTRPG book previously, but nothing credited to her
looks like she also runs a vidya and board game bar

splatoon knock-off got 3rd
idk if this would improve things, but I'd like Valve to try splitting the next fest into SP, co-op, and MP
I think 99% of game demos could flag themselves as one of those 3
yeah, Valve has a hard problem
I think the open store idea is objectively better than it was before when you needed a publisher
but there's so much filler
and there's no real way to filter it out, without catching first time devs/indies
