During a Twitch stream on October 25th, Emiru publicly accused Mizkif of sexual assault, stalking, and domestic abuse.

Hotel Barcelona released on September 26th and received a somewhat divided reaction from reviewers. This isn’t unusual for games created by developers Suda51 and Swery, as their titles often gain a dedicated following over time due to their interesting characters and fresh takes on established game types. Some critics found Hotel Barcelona to be challenging, while others praised its atmosphere inspired by slasher films, precise combat, and strange world.
Boromir famously said it was impossible to simply walk into Mordor, but it turns out you can – in a video game. A dedicated player created a detailed route in the game, and it takes about 10 hours to complete. It’s surprisingly straightforward, once you have the map!
According to the Alinea Insight newsletter by Rhys Elliott, the top-selling PlayStation 5 games projected for October 2025 are Battlefield 6, EA Sports FC 26, and Ghost of Yotei, with estimated sales of 3.2 million, 3 million, and 2.7 million units, respectively. These three titles are expected to sell almost 9 million copies combined. Elliott used these figures to counter the idea that consoles are becoming obsolete, stating that while Xbox may be struggling, it’s premature to declare console gaming as a whole is failing.
You don’t need to collect items from the Buried City to finish the Marked for Death quest. If you’re concerned about losing valuable items during the raid, it’s a good idea to use a temporary, basic loadout. This way, you won’t risk losing the resources you’ve worked hard to collect.
I’m really excited about Odds Chronicles! It’s a game where you fight on a grid, and each time you play (a ‘run’), it’s different because of the dice. Basically, every time you roll the dice, it gives your team something new – like a boost to their strength or magic. It’s a cool mix of strategy and luck!
When counting game sales, bundled games are included, which is why titles like Wii Sports appear among the best-selling of all time. A game’s success can be boosted by being bundled with unique console accessories – for example, Duck Hunt sold extremely well because it was often packaged with the NES Zapper.
After the Switch 2 was announced, many people expressed dissatisfaction with Nintendo. This largely stemmed from the price of Mario Kart World, the first video game to cost $80, combined with the $450 price of the console itself. Viewers frequently demanded lower prices during the subsequent Treehouse livestream. Concerns were also raised about upgrades for Nintendo Switch 2 games costing $10, even for older titles like Breath of the Wild, which still sells for its original $60 price. Despite this criticism, console and game sales remain strong.
Steam started in 2003 as a platform for Valve’s games, such as Counter-Strike and Team Fortress. By 2005, it had broadened its scope to include games from developers other than Valve.
