The reason this matters is that "Imagine Dragons released a live-service game" makes it seem like a cashgrab, but that does not appear to be the story here. These guys are lifelong gamers. The lead singer programs and releases his own iOS games as a hobby, without telling anyone!

Since this post is aggregating my Bloomberg column, I kinda feel the need to clarify that the Imagine Dragons game is not "live-service" (designed for recurring monetization). It's a $15 multiplayer shooter with no microtransactions. Here's the original article: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Marvel Cosmic Invasion releases in physical format today! A huge thank you to U&I Entertainment for sending a Switch 1 copy so the family and I can play on Switch 2 and Switch Lite! 😊 #MarvelCosmicInvasion #ad

There's nothing an archivist likes more than getting to help with the weirdest, most specific questions. We had someone email about the height of kerbs in Milton Keynes and guess what?? We've got documents about that!!

I believe you mean “so badly”

They spend a huge part of this talking about how it took 9 years to make

YOU - “Lamby looks soft.” LITTLE LILY - “Yes. Very soft.” Suddenly she pushes the stuffed animal toward your face. YOU - “I don't deserve it. I'm scum.”

Pragmata is great. 2008 is back, baby. Capcom is on an absolutely ridiculous run. My review:

@grubb.wtf out here multitasking

It's your pitch pal.

Good piece on the new Spurs boss Roberto De Zerbi, and why his defence of Mason Greenwood — and later meek apology for it — was harmful to the safety of women www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Thoroughly recommend 'Super Nintendo' by @mackeza.bsky.social. It gives a really interesting look into how and why Nintendo came to create their games and really makes you want to go back and play them all.

Farage literally told lies about autism (as well as pretty much every other political topic on earth)

This game is incredibly good

This is up now and ALREADY passed its goal!

The Excavation of Hob's Barrow is a whopping 55% off in the Steam Lovecraftian Days sale! 💀⛏️🩸 It's a great time to check out our folk horror adventure set on the moors of Northern England. The answers lie in the soil...

Discworld QOTD, from Witches Abroad "‘I don’t mind criticism,’ said Granny. ‘You know me. I’ve never been one to take offence at criticism. No-one could say I’m the sort to take offence at criticism -’ ‘Not twice, anyway,’ said Nanny."

Happy impulse buying something PlayStation while staring into the abyss of skyrocketing prices across everything day to all who celebrate.

how your April Fool's press release finds me:

This game scratches parts of my brain I didn't even know I had.

Some bad news from your favourite archive

This sign raises many questions, which probably should be answered by the sign but aren't

You've got to wonder how many cases like this have gone unreported in previous, less high-profile layoffs. The US healthcare system is so inhumane. The idea that your right to medical care/life insurance should be tied to job status is just inconceivable to me www.theguardian.com/games/2026/m...

wow turns out he was right, our apologies

Okay Coin Pushers! It's time to request keys for RACCOIN (Launching March 31st) If you are interested in covering the game, please fill in the form here: forms.gle/aXY3MtKK9SSo... Thank you!

Okay. An important moment for us, if you’ll indulge me with a repost. It’s time to start the very first whisper of noise about our next game. It’s a mailing list! But it’s a mailing list that I’m hoping will be a bit different than what you’re used to. mailchi.mp/bithellgames...

Once this game is on my phone, it's over. Raccoin is the best one of these since Balatro.

a long-term contract for this coach in particular is a joke, on top of the Spurs board ignoring all of the valid complaints by fan groups too scrap the men's football operations and just become event producers at this point

Ok step one is to make them look less delicious

Holy shit! This is No Kings protesters from Trump's stronghold at The Villages in Florida. 🙌💪👏✊️👇

mario: well fox we did it we saved the galaxy fox: yes mario, now i can focus on my new game releasing soon exclusively on the Nintendo Switch 2 system mario: what miyamoto: have you heard of pikmin

The difference in launch price and the new price is still absolutely staggering to me.

Any school that removes books that promote empathy, cultural understanding, history and critical thought needs to be investigated for neglect. I don't think this is up for debate. If you're not teaching children this, what the fuck are you teaching them??

If I don’t pay back the money I owe for spices they’re going to call in the bay leaves.

If you have been considering buying a Switch 2, or any type of hardware, go and get it. Everything is going to go flying up. This is barely the start of it.

I personally think it's class that the PS6 and new Xbox will cost 2 grand thanks to Fruit Love Island.

(for UK) Final Fantasy VII: Remake Intergrade (Switch 2 KC) is £14.99 at Very buff.ly/movZkTC

Something I’ve been working on since 2024! Super excited to finally reveal @charredpictures.com! variety.com/2026/film/ne...

Exact budgets of video-game productions can be tough to corroborate (more transparency from publishers would be nice!) but the numbers I've heard floating around AAA game dev these days are $300 million or more — sometimes much more! — which I think helps explain the current state of the industry

Seems like future first-party Switch 2 games are going to be $69.99 digital and $79.99 physical. Yoshi is $59.99/$69.99, but if we compare that to the UK prices (which has been higher for physical since launch), we can see Yoshi is a cheaper title compared to the other full-priced first-party games.

It increasingly feels like both Microsoft and Sony are looking to GTA and going "Once that comes out, we will never need to worry about anything again."

hell yeah

One of the few interviews where I was quietly delighted to be ripped to shreds. An honour, sir.
