Turns out finding stores that sell video games is not an easy thing to find, so I decided to do something about it. The page is live, just not full of stores, so I need help filling it in If you or anyone knows of a games store, please fill in the form, reshares if you can shorturl.at/TQ2Dd

This is just shitty news, yet again proving that game company ceo's will take recycled loot box content over anything else

I love getting the chance to talk with developers, because they can offer some great insights about the games they have made

Maxi-Geek@maxigeek.au

We had the chance to chat with Raul and Vee, folks who worked on #GearsofWarEDay, to learn more about the game, including why it was important to return to where the war began, and also the potential inclusion of tomatoes www.maxi-geek.com/co... #interview #pc #xsx

Was great chatting with Gregory about the game and the update, shame that the update launched as the embargo for our chat lifted..

EB Games going out of their way to produce a pretty well done video to hype up a one day sale and then offer nothing but junk and not a single game... I really wonder what is going there

The irony of a game being released on Switch 2 via a key card, coming out with the name Fully Stocked Edition is just perfection

This is like saying, the arsonist who keeps burning things down, needs to be invited to the bushfire preparedness meetings... what a pathetic take from our politicians, but then again what else is new

Always fun to chase down any potential details on games that are MIA.. the fact that three different Marvel games are in the list just makes me chuckle..

Maxi-Geek@maxigeek.au

Another 12 months have passed since our last Missing in Action update and while there have been some updates on a lot of games, there are just as many stubborn ones still holding on. Here is the 2026 list of games we are calling MIA www.maxi-geek.com/co... #news #pc #ps5 #switch2 #xsx

Live service games have been failing all over the place, even at Sony, yet they thought this was a smart idea, double down on converting a single player game into a live service thing that no one asked for..

BREAKING: PlayStation is rebooting the online game Horizon Hunters Gathering after negative playtest feedback. New plan is smaller scope, more traditional co-op multiplayer, no more live service. Yet another entry in PlayStation's ongoing live-service struggles: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

I asked Saber Interactive if they had any follow-up comments in regards to the accusations that the studio replaced a writer with ChatGPT. I got a substantial response from Saber CEO Matt Karch. You can and should read it in full: thisweekinvideogames.com/news/saber-i...

The first is a mistake, the second is a choice, the third is a habit. By the fourth time, you have to wonder if they have any idea what needs to happen

The girl of steel is taking flight in #Supergirl and does so in a great way. With a character that is more jaded than her cousin, the adventure of Kara Zor-el is delightful and is made so by the amazing performance of its lead actress. Find out more with our #review Review: www.maxi-geek.com/co...

New boss, same bullshit. Microsoft demands billion dollar hits, but when the games they approve are not successful to them, they close the studio. Why is it also the people at the bottom that get shafted by the managers who make the bad decisions in the first place?

Jason Schreier@jasonschreier.bsky.social

BREAKING: Several Xbox studios, including Compulsion, Ninja Theory and Double Fine, are negotiating with Xbox as they try to avoid closure. Some or all could spin off. Lots still in flux as many studios remain unsure about what's happening. Here's the latest: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
