I have no idea what the FT is talking about here, but I think this may be the best thing I've ever read? www.ft.com/content/ce26...

Been a busy start to the week, but yesterday we launched ENDLESS Legend 2 into early access, and it's off to a great start! 92% positive rating with nearly 200 reviews. So proud of the team over at Amplitude. store.steampowered.com/app/3407390/...

Tbf, nothing will ever beat the GW website front page at that time. "The Queen is dead: PREPARE FOR SKIRMISH COMBAT!"

Made this during the week. I don't think I'm one of those Lego collector people, but I did see this and wanted to buy it so... I guess we'll see if more turn up.

UK PRESS! Anyone heading out to Tokyo Game Show? Let me know, may have some treats in store...

i played heroes of might and magic: olden era at gamescom and all i wanna do is play heroes of might and magic: olden era.

Is PR still relevant for game marketing? IT SURE IS! Ads, influencers, showcases — they all matter. But without PR tying them together, you’re climbing uphill. PR adds the credibility, relationships, and trust that sustain long-term momentum. Read the blog → buff.ly/RJl3tyw

Today we're celebrating a little something that our game portfolio couldn't exist without: Swords. ⚔️ We're kind of obsessed with them. And excited to be part of the Sword Celebration event from @mythwright.com! https://store.steampowered.com/developer/mythwright/sale/swordcelebration2025

Hi! I was laid off from Firaxis this morning. I wrote leaders and civs for Civilization VII (NDA for now) and Deadpool and Storm for Marvel's Midnight Suns. I also wrote the award-nominated Hindsight. I'm available for full time, remote work starting ASAP. DMs are open: emmkid.info

sorry y'all, i'm still in shock. i wrapped up writing something i'm really proud of yesterday, so at least I got to see that through. second layoff in 5 years baybee lets gooooo

Losing my shit at how great Menace is shaping up - feels like *the* game to next sit alongside the likes of XCOM and Xenonauts, if the RPG/management side of the game is half as good as the combat I played at Gamescom www.gamesradar.com/games/strate...

Got asked which game I thought would make a good movie, settled on Mass Effect trilogy (as a film trilogy) pretty quickly, but with the Indoctrination Theory as canon for the finale. Really I just wanted an excuse to think about the Indoctrination Theory again, which was so annoyingly perfect.

And that's a wrap on #gamescom 2025! Had a great time, great to catch up with friends and make new ones. Until next year!

Managed to fit in a trip to my ancestral homeland, the Haxenhaus. Just one more day everyone!

And that's a wrap on Day Four. I need food.

Only at Gamescom: a dev we don't work with who came to the booth met someone from another publisher, who was also at our booth. The dev was pitching the publisher his game, while playing one of our games to demonstrate what he wanted to do in his game, as he was pitching his game.

All I'm saying is. A coffee would be good right now

My watch has started. Gamescom day four let's goooo

And that's my last press appointment of gamescom 2025 done. Time for one last selfie before I pack this bad boy away. Thank you to everyone who came to see our games!

Gamescom day three most of the way done, except for me my watch doesn't end until Monday because I have to man our indie hall booth over the weekend. Really great showing off all our games and seeing the good reaction though.

Gamescom day 2 is done and I have blisters. We found the Hooded Horse stall and met our two closest contact from there, Matthias and Joe. It was a very people-ful day!

I forgot to do a gamescom day 1 let's go post. But rest assured it is still day 1 and it is indeed going.

Not a bad view from my room this year...

At Heathrow waiting for my flight to Cologne and #gamescom! I'd forgotten how chill Terminal 2 is. See you all there!

A friend just flagged that but: check your Gamescom app ! Random ~AI GeNeRaTeD~ meetings are getting confirmed without your input. I definitely don't hate myself enough to say yes to a Friday 9.30am meeting.

The latest @pcgamer.com magazine is out now, with world exclusive access to @konamina.bsky.social's Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater. This very special issue also comes with a world exclusive A1 MGS Delta poster, as well as PCG's Top 100 PC games to play mini mag. 🐍 tinyurl.com/32hzwy7b

We're in the final week before gamescom. I still have slots for the first ever hands-on experience for Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era, as well as demo slots for Beyond These Stars. Please reach out if you have space in your schedules and are interested!

the ending of this explainer might surprise you

Legitimately one of my favourite videogame moments and the most satisfying completion of a videogame (for me) to date was the end scene of Darksiders 1 which this trailer quotes. Epic scenes.

New king. New cards. New perks. New decrees. New battlefield. Dragons. The King of Nomads update for 9 Kings has it all. Dev team went full reptilian mode with this one. Check it out: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2784470/view/544487282992743770

The Bomb 12 has begun. Every Friday, we'll end the week with the games that matter the most right now.

for anyone trying to travel to Gamescom on the cheap, Dusseldorf is in the same metro area as Cologne and has much cheaper flights (like $200 less) from the US. It's less than an hour to the Kolnmesse from there.

I'm working on a GamesIndustry.biz article about the Steam and Itch content crackdowns, and I'd love to hear from someone in a country where payment options online are limited. If you're reliant on PayPal or another highly specific processor to get hold of games, please get in touch!

I regret to report that I have something called "bacon mayo" in my house.

Great news on our own behalf: GamesMarkt is going independent! With effect from 1 July 2025, Stephan Steininger, Marcel Kleffmann and Pascal Marc Wagner have acquired all assets of the GamesMarkt brand. www.gamesmarket.global/business/man...

Hope @scalzi.com notices me
