The acquisition of Electronic Arts is a massive event for the gaming world this year, and one of the largest deals – potentially the biggest leveraged buyout – ever seen in the video game industry. Similar to the Activision Blizzard acquisition a few years back, not everyone is happy about it. Many players have already expressed concerns about whether Microsoft’s purchase will ultimately be successful.

Recently, there’s been a lot of discussion about how Twitch is doing under its owner, Amazon. Twitch has gone through several rounds of job cuts, and some people believe Amazon doesn’t prioritize the platform because it’s been losing a significant amount of money for them.

The action RPG, first revealed at the Xbox Games Showcase earlier this year, will release on PC in November. A playable demo will be available at TwitchCon San Diego.

Let’s be real, no DDV experience is complete without a good puzzle or two. A huge part of the game is figuring out what goes into every recipe, and you’re constantly unraveling mysteries with the different characters you meet. Plus, the Duties? Forget about hand-holding – their names are basically the *only* clues you get! It’s all about figuring things out for yourself, which I totally love.

My time is coming to an end. If you’re reading this, it means I’m gone. This is my final message, meant for someone I love very much.

If you’re part of the Genshin Impact community, you’ve likely seen jokes about “Mora Soup.” It’s a long-running inside joke that appears everywhere – in fan art, on TikTok, and in online discussions. But what *is* Mora Soup? It’s not something you can actually order in the game. Instead, it’s a funny idea created by players to represent how constantly short on money everyone seems to be!

According to Famitsu, a new 160-page book, personally overseen by Masahiro Sakurai, details his life and career. It starts with his childhood love of games and follows him through the making of both *Kirby* and *Super Smash Bros.*, sharing previously untold stories about how he creates games and the key moments in his career.

Just to refresh your memory, *Days Gone* first came to PC in 2021, after initially launching on PlayStation 4 in 2017. A remastered version, *Days Gone Remastered*, was then released on PS5 this April. While PC players who owned the original game received most of the improvements as a free update, this meant the original 2021 PC version was no longer available for download. Thankfully, that’s now been fixed.

Paradox Interactive remains a leader in strategy games, but they’ve faced some challenges recently. Fans have grown frustrated with a string of disappointing DLCs and game releases over the last few years, especially following another apology from one of their development teams. It seems players are losing patience with the quantity and quality of new content.

In a final message, Itagaki announced his passing. He stated that his life was coming to an end and that this post confirmed his death. He entrusted a close friend with sharing this final statement.
