This is awesome

I was on the CBC's The Current with Matt Galloway this morning to talk about the game business, the difference between how healthy the industry actually is and how unhealthy it feels in light of years of bad news, and whether Switch 2 might help the situation. www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

Loved spotting local Toronto landmarks in the first game and the few I spotted here have already sold me on it.

Had to mark the Switch 2 launch somehow. www.tumblr.com/contextfreep...

Microsoft President Brad Smith's interview with @thelogic.co on data centres, data sovereignty and the tech giant’s open relationship with OpenAI: thelogic.co/news/the-int...

Wanted to see how appropriate Jenny LeClue: Detectivu might be for my kid. Nintendo eShop says it's rated E10+. Steam says it's rated T. The ESRB website ratings search doesn't list the game at all. Great job, video games. A+ all the way around.

As a kid reading comics, I think Peter David was the first time I noticed how much difference a writer's voice makes. He took characters and series I didn't really care about and turned them into must-reads. Just an amazing talent.

Watching The Accountant for the first time and it has become a wonderfully nostalgic time capsule of 2016.

I assume that Microsoft put Freddy Pharkas: Frontier Pharmacist into its promotional image here to tease all the Freddy Phanatics out there with the possibility of a sequel.

Behaviour Interactive reps confirmed to me that the company laid off 7 people from its marketing team. They said the team is undergoing structural changes to better support Dead by Daylight and new games, and the decision "in no way reflects their contributions or value."
