That’s why I’m fine with Ubi since I really want to see what games they can make without interferences from the upper suits. It’s always about those damn upper suits 
It was a matter of time I guess

That was quick… Part of me wishes they had any replies from Epic and/or IO before going off and writing articles though… I understand breaking a consumer interest story but the full story is better.

That’s completely ridiculous. It’s so bizarre how Hitman 1 and 3 is on the EGS and Hitman 2 isn’t. I’m sorry to all of you PC players. Are you all gonna bit the bullet or wait for the steam release?

I will, made my decision from the moment Travis made the announcement on the old forum that it’s gonna be Epic exclusive. Can never trust the upper suits in a game developer company, even if that said company makes some of your favorite games. Those upper suits are not your friends and are only after your money. 
not a huge amount of new news, but jason schreier has a piece on cyberpunk 2077’s development and release from the dev’s perspective:

Shame but it was expected. All game companies that get universal acclaim get the idea they are untouchable. Both my fav. game companies, Beth and Valve, showed me that no one is untouchable and once they push it too far, it’s downhill from there.
Hope it’s like a cold shower for CDPR and they will rebuild themselves, until then, no sympathy from me and everyone, even their most loyal fans, should take whatever they say in the future with a pinch of salt.

For the Stalker fans out there
Some titbits from the article
- protagonist’s name is Skif, a nickname similar to Strelok and Scar
- the teaser trailer is set in the ruined school on the outskirts of the dead town of Pripyat
- emissions can occur in Stalker 2. There’s a feature where the PDA’s signal goes out during such storms, similar to something out of the Gunslinger mod for CoP
- the creature that attacks at the end by attacking the player with a chair is a Burer

Can’t wait for some more info, maybe some actual gameplay for this game though I feel it in me ol’ bones that for PC it’s gonna be Epic exclusive…

This reminds me of the price cut for Fallout 76

Ouch. I really hope CD Projekt Red doesn’t go down the path Bethesda did. I have a feeling that they might get bought at this point.

There are rumors but nothing more since it’s still too early.

“Hitman 3 has taken No.1 in the UK boxed charts, with launch sales up 17% over its predecessor.”
This is awesome and good news in terms of a new Hitman down the line!

Hm, the studio behind the Metro games which is awesome by the way, is hiring for a new IP:
“We’re hiring for the New IP! Don’t miss your chance to become a part of the next big #4AGames 
project”
“Hiring for both Malta and Ukraine studios. Apply at https://bit.ly/36dfCJr #gamejobs #gamedev”

I wonder what they are going to make.

Great news for racing game fans, I suppose. It will contain a full driver career, just like older titles. I usually prefer arcade racing experience, but Gran Turismo has always made an exception for me.

I’m so looking forward to GT 7, I played a lot of GT Sport singleplayer, but it didn’t have the same content for us singleplayers like GT 5 or GT 6 had, buying parts and tuning our cars is something I’m looking forward to, Special Events and hopefully Seasonel Events will be back and it will be a bit easier to earn money than it was in GT S, the grind for the 20/15/10 mill cars was exhausting.
I just hope I have been able to buy a PS5 before GT 7 is released, no date for next batch of PS5’s to Norway yet though.

Maybe not for some of us gamers ( 
), but I don’t know how many lost their jobs, but at least Gearbox (and maybe more) have reach out a hand I will try to help at least some of them.
4A Games is also hiring, but they have base in Ukraine I think.
Edit.
Jason Schreier:
“I know it’s fun to make jokes about Stadia imploding and yes a lot of people predicted that this sort of thing was going to happen but it’s hard not to be infuriated at Google hiring 150+ game developers only to throw them all away a year later like old Google Glasses”
