Here we go AGAIN! Sony Santa Monica has officially delayed God of War Laufey until May 20, 2027, pushing the game back roughly three months.

Insomniac Marvel's Wolverine is already showing up discounted days after launch, w/cheap eBay listings, rumored international price cuts, and troubling sales comparisons to Spider-Man 2!

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is launching on Nintendo Switch 2, and the hype is INSANE! Massive midnight release lines, glowing review scores across the board, and allegations that the game has ALREADY been dumped and is playable on PC!

IS SOMETHING GOING ON BETWEEN CIRCANA AND XBOX?! Mat Piscatella has been making some pointed comments about Microsoft's gaming business, but there's an interesting detail behind the scenes: Xbox stopped participating in Circana's digital sales data-sharing panel. That means some of the industry's most widely circulated game rankings now rely more heavily on estimates. IS THERE MORE TO THIS STORY?

SONY VS. THE PS5 JAILBREAK COMMUNITY IS TURNING INTO AN ALL-OUT WAR! Sony just released PS5 firmware 26.07-14.22.00, featuring new security fixes, after hackers demonstrated code execution on the previous firmware. Every time the jailbreak community makes progress, Sony seems ready with another update. And with GTA 6 launching November 19, the timing couldn't be more interesting.

THE ARROGANCE OF GAMING JOURNALISM IS GETTING RIDICULOUS! IGN's Ryan McCaffrey is facing backlash over a now-deleted post invoking Jemele Hill and the supposed value of paid opinions. Apparently, getting a paycheck to share your thoughts makes you more important than the people actually playing the games?! I'm breaking down the deleted-post controversy and taking a closer look at gaming journalists who seem to think having a platform puts them above criticism. A PAYCHECK DOESN'T MAKE YOUR OPINION BETTER. IT JUST MEANS SOMEONE PAID FOR IT!

DEAD BY DAYLIGHT JUST KEEPS DIGGING! Behaviour Interactive has doubled down on its response to TheBurntPeanut controversy, removing his gifted DLC and announcing changes to its creator policies. Now players are accusing the developers of HIDING critical replies! Meanwhile, Asmongold has unloaded on the studio's handling of the backlash. I'm reacting to Asmongold's comments, the accusations of censorship, and why I believe Behaviour Interactive is prioritizing ideological appeasement over listening to its wider player base.
