The topic has been trending extensively across social media platforms, and it’s primarily due to a user named ‘DreamChasnMike’ who initiated the discussion with a question in a tweet on April 24, 2025.
Subscriptions offer gamers unlimited access to a collection of games for a fixed monthly cost, which seems appealing on the surface. However, as one user pointed out, subscriptions can become overlooked if they’re cheap enough. The past few years have demonstrated that while businesses experiment with pricing strategies, there is no ultimate solution to captivate gamers. Old-fashioned retail prices persist like an unwanted guest at family events, and they continue to influence gaming consumers’ decisions. As one commenter suggested, “If game prices stay high and frequent discounts remain, I believe subscriptions will maintain their presence but remain a niche market.” The delicate balance between subscription plans and traditional purchases is an ongoing dance that both players and companies are attempting to master.
The choice made by Electronic Arts (EA) to dismiss a significant number of their employees has stirred concern within the gaming community. While it’s not uncommon for businesses to cut costs, the magnitude of this layoff causes alarm. It’s hard not to empathize with those who are impacted, particularly in departments like game development, marketing, and support, which play crucial roles in a game’s prosperity. The repeated layoffs at EA seem to indicate a pattern where financial savings in the short term are given precedence over long-term goals. This approach certainly diminishes any remaining goodwill towards the company, which has been striving to regain favor following past setbacks. The question that lingers is: when will EA grasp that fostering talent and heeding fan input can lead to triumph? At this point, it seems they are not planning to do so anytime soon.
As a devoted fan myself, I can’t help but share my excitement about the initial part of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. It’s no secret among us enthusiasts that this first half is often hailed as one of the finest gaming journeys we’ve ever embarked upon. One player, captivated by the authentic medieval atmosphere, described it as “the zenith of a medieval action RPG.” Immersed in the intricate environments, I found myself investing a staggering 130 hours, lost in the thrilling quests that were brimming with surprises and turns. The sense of adventure was palpable, making those first 30-40 hours an unforgettable gaming experience for many.
However, there’s a catch. As our characters amass power, some of the initial magic seems to fade – a sentiment that resonates deeply with players.

The demanding nature of video game creation is frequently underestimated, and Sam Lake’s experience serves as a stark reminder of this often-neglected facet of the gaming industry. To explain further, it wasn’t merely that Lake supervised the production of “Alan Wake 2”; he immersed himself deeply within the game, assuming multiple roles. He penned the narrative, acted as a key character through motion capture, essentially functioning like a one-man band conducting a harmonious blend of storytelling, gameplay, and stunning visuals. A viewer even noted, “He did motion capture for one of the main characters, wrote the entire script, directed the game, filmed live action and motion capture scenes as well as providing voiceover – it’s likely a record for the amount of work done by a single individual on a game.” That level of commitment is truly commendable! Given the immense workload he was handling, it’s no surprise that Lake required a break to avoid burnout, a sentiment echoed by fans who have observed the progression of the industry over time.

It appears that Syril has moved up (or been assigned, as his mother might say?) to lead the Ghorman field office for his bureau, which some call “counting spiders” (as Eedy does). He’s reached out by the Ghorman Front and attends one of their secret gatherings. There, he discovers their anti-Empire movement and strategies to resist in some manner. Given Syril’s uneasy demeanor throughout much of the previous season, it’s surprising to see him not only maintaining composure but also showing open support for this group of unfamiliar anti-Empire advocates.

Following a 30-day break from dealing with Jax (and let’s be honest, we’ve only watched two episodes, and I already needed a breather), our story then shifts to Jesse’s residence. Here, Kristen and Luke visit for coffee. Luke confides in them that he suspects Michelle was unfaithful during their relationship, with her new boyfriend, Aaron. What proof does he have? It turns out, Aaron’s brand of honey appeared at his house two years ago. Much like Derek Jeter, it seems he bestows gift baskets on the women he romances.
