played a lot of peak this year

Seems redoing an entire game to remove AI assets takes longer than anticipated. Who knew?

Only 14% of total time spent in new releases seems bad for new releases.

Everyone is more or less okay with it” dude you make people emigrate to work there because you don’t do remote work, they risk having to change countries if they disagree with it

The Steam port of Utawarerumono: ZAN has been released by Shiravune in English, Japanese, and Traditional Chinese. store.steampowered.com/app/3074840/... #utawarerumono

This is great news. Hyperdevotion Noire is a great strategy RPG in part due to the co-developer (Sting). Defo jump on this if you're a fan of SRPGs.

Imagine having so little faith in your game being good you choose to pander to the worst people 😬😬

Calir Obscur: Expedition 33's TGA activity resulted in an engagement boost in the US. The percent of US active PS, XBX and US Steam players engaging with the game more than tripled by Dec 13th when compared to Dec 10th. US Steam showed the largest lift. Source: Circana Player Engagement Tracker

I believe people overestimate the meaning of Game Pass here. Afaik it wasn’t in the top played games ob game pass when it released. Most of the people had no clue that it is already out or that it even exists. It's just another discoverability problem.

Tales of series 30th anniversary memorial video Bandai Namco has released a memorial video in celebration of the Tales of series' 30th anniversary. The first entry in the series, Tales of Phantasia, launched for Super Famicom on December 15, 1995---30 years ago today in Japan.

100 hours long free to play RPG?! Damn what a feat

Not only that it came less than a minute after focusing on a child with her mother. Steam has notably denied NSFW vns in the past because there was a child as part of the cast unrelated to any NSFW material. If you're big enough and not anime the kid can be standing 5 feet away from an orgy I guess

The bestest boy 🥺🥺

i stand by this statement every year

I wonder how he feels about this? He can make 100 videos about women being a plague on gaming but can't even man up and boo this or talk shit while he's there.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 / Alice Duport-Percier, Lorien Testard wins Best Score & Music

Delisted Psikyo shoot ’em ups for PC to return via rights holder KM-BOX The PC versions of the 12 Psikyo shoot 'em up titles that were delisted from Steam on October 31 will return via rights holder KM-BOX, the company confirmed to Gematsu.

Ooooh this looks really neat!

That art, logo and screenshots give huge Summon Night vibes.

Just because they arrived in a helicopter doesn't make it not piracy

Last day to get Yakuza 0 on Steam before delisting ($10.99) buff.ly/ISTbotI GOG version not identified for delist

New video! Rejet are one of Japan's most misunderstood otome game developers, yet they house one of gaming's most iconic legacies that deserves your respect. And yes, this video does explore whether Rejet truly hates the West. #promosky www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGRi...

I am so furious at YouTube for doing this. You have literal gambling ads plastered across your website. The video you take action on contains no real gambling, and is promoting an LGBTQ+ children's charity fundraiser. Absolutely horrendous image and optics for the website. Completely moronic

Buying all four of these games should cost $39.99 in total after so long

Katsuhiro Harada to leave Bandai Namco after more than 31 years Bandai Namco executive game director, chief game producer, marketing director, and general manager Katsuhiro Harada will leave Bandai Namco after more than 31 years at the end of 2025, he announced.

It took 7 months for a new first party game to release after launch and it was Game & Wario

ICYMI I uploaded a new video yesterday! ^_^

Oh come on I already recorded the 2025 Fan Translations Special otherwise this would totally have been in it 😭😭

RIP Warner Bros

Been looking forward to this game for some time. Glad it's finally dated ^_^

Play Lesbian Splatterworld today!

This is a good take, and I’d also like to note that games journalism basically did fail all of those adult game devs. Emphasis on the industry over individuals, although there are outlets out there today that are *still* ignoring this issue overall

So at this point, I am of the belief that there is a conservative group in the background emailing companies and trying to get them to ban the game.

Leading industry figure gets the very vocal ick from art for adults but not Microsoft’s genocide complicity is great representation of the video game problem.

The upcoming SQUARE ENIX concert looks amazing! Glad to see a wide range of IPs on show here! www.musicofsquareenix.com

Joanne will never run out of money because people keep buying her stuff, and so this will keep happening. SLAPP after SLAPP until trans people are completely drummed out of public existence and nobody will do a thing about it

Well there's one of SQUARE ENIX's upcoming HD-2D titles confirmed.

Not great that a foreign state that regularly executes queer folks is now going to own the major AAA publisher that most consistently supported queer stories and characters.
