From Donald Trump's fiery takedown of South African corruption to Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 smashing records at the 2025 Golden Joystick Awards with 11 Game Awards nominations, we celebrate the good while roasting the ugly.
Is Ghost of Yotei dev's unapologetic tweetstorm a free speech win or PR nightmare? We debate responsibility in gaming (RIP Dragon Age: The Veilguard hype). Then, brace for the Roblox cesspool exposé—child exploitation, trafficking hints, and a CEO calling it an "opportunity"? Shut it down!
Gothic Remake faces backlash for "desexualizing" iconic scenes—original creator calls it a massacre. Ubisoft's cooking the books, going all-in on AI (good luck with that live-service flop), while Rebel Wolves nails smart AI for voice testing in Blood of the Dawnwalker. Microsoft's Recall AI tanks your FPS in Assassin's Creed Shadows—disable that spyware! Plus, Death Stranding 2 PC port incoming, PC vs. console wars, and updates for Monster Hunter Wilds, Palworld, & more.
