Megabonk dev Vedinad just asked TGA to remove his “Best Debut Indie” nomination, because it isn’t his debut. Pure class and integrity. Huge respect 🫡

Happy 20th, Xbox 360! What an incredible team! My launch-day console + the internal pickup event — Steve Ballmer personally congratulating us while the whole team waited in line for their box. Still have mine. 🫡 #Xbox360

The Bubble Club vs ARC Raiders just dropped. Eurogamer gave a 4-million-selling live game 40%. Same site gave the $400M flop that died in 11 days 60%. Embark's silence is the smartest move in gaming right now. Watch the full autopsy ↓ youtube.com/watch?v=W3AzuK… #ARCRaiders

youtube.com/watch?v=W3AzuK… This YT poll flipped—36% say “just the game” vs. 47% saying "production critiques are fair game". X, what do you think?

On this day in 1992—December 17th—I interviewed at Microsoft. I was so excited that I took my visitor badge home and hung it on our Christmas tree like an ornament. When the holidays ended, it went into the ornament box...I had pulled it out once before and then lost track of

Meta's Ray-Ban Display glasses hit a wall: international rollout delayed, waitlists stretching into late 2026, and fresh layoffs in Reality Labs. The company pivots yet again, this time from the Metaverse to AI. I built the first AR product team at Meta and worked on the first

This is a great Q from my recent YT: Mark Zuckerberg is a brilliant founder/exec, but he's really bad on stage. Why not hire a killer CMO to handle big presentations and bring him in occasionally? Great question! Obviously there's ego involved but there's also danger in building

Thanks for the tag Александр Одинец! 5:10 from my Concord video really did echo what happened with Highguard. The red flags I talked about back then showed up again here. Full breakdown: youtube.com/watch?v=dqhrgB…

Great question from my YT channel: 'Make the game you want' vs. validating user needs. How do you navigate that divide? Key: Know your target. Devs often 'age out' of their audience and don't realize it. Gamers will spot those problems and designers can translate feedback to

Highguard devs just dropped a limited-time 5v5 Raid Mode (playable now through the weekend) + performance fixes & a new base. They're responding to gamers feedback on pacing/maps. Looks like they're listening. Will 5v5 help turn things around?

Obsidian confirmed today via Bloomberg that Avowed and Outer Worlds 2 fell short of sales expectations. Tough moment for a talented team. Months ago I shared some early thoughts in a video when the Steam launch numbers looked lower than hoped compared to other big releases

Keeper, Outer Worlds 2, Avowed… games that got massive hype and previews, then quietly disappeared financially. Kiln looks even wilder. But can it survive Xbox’s brutal math in 2026? My take: youtube.com/watch?v=_Dy7n2…
