Gaming News Roundup
Once again, here are a handful of gaming news stories from the last ten days or so that caught my eye. I have refrained from writing an entire blog post on each, either because they are too trivial and cannot sustain an article in their own right, or because they might fuel a rant of some kind. I’m too old for that kind of nonsense nowadays. The video game industry really has transitioned from the unique independent position it enjoyed three decades ago, into just another corporate business. Rife with all the usual iniquities and failings. But it’s not all doom and gloom as one story indicates. Ridiculous character crossovers can still bring joy to gamers who love such things.
Gaming News Roundup
I like to keep abreast of what’s happening in the video game industry, along with new releases and community news. So I subscribe to websites like Kotaku, GameIndustry and Massively Overpowered via Feedly. I also watch YouTube channels such as Gameranx and shows such as the Jimquisition. Often these platforms will highlight stories and issues that pique my interest. Sometimes I will feel the need to express an opinion or write a rebuttal but these talking points do not always warrant or require an entire blog article. So once again, I’ve decided to start another recurring blog post where I can highlight several of these news items and then briefly explore them. The Video Games Roundup is not meant to be a comprehensive summary of all current news. Merely items that I’ve found interesting, unusual or controversial. Sadly the latter is all too common these days.
