So sad & sobering. My heart goes out to them. This is worth a read, especially if you've ever thought that games are too expensive or publishers are getting rich off this stuff. The reality is that margins are very tight, and even a temporary pause due to tariffs is devastating

The council is spending all its end-of-year budget on roadworks throughout our neighbourhood and you can tell the townfolk are having a moment about it as "You wouldn't believe Junction 12 this morning" has replaced "terrible weather, isn't it?" in the smalltalk stakes.

Well, as this involves writers of 2 of my favourite, wildly different books, The Framley Examiner and The Apparition Phase, means I must dip into this.

Contemplating a switch for the newsletter to Beehiiv. But is it really the case that initiating paid subscribers costs about £500 a year? Does anyone have good experiences using it? Doesn't seem accessible for anyone who has some paid subs but doesn't already have a huge platform.

Microsoft just put up the price of your subscription without your consent. Mine rose from £79.99 per year to over £100. The extra is because they've strapped their 'AI copilot' in to every program. You can refuse this increase and these features. Instructions below.
