Oh hey, that's my article!
He worded it very carefully, but from what I gathered during the interview, they've already decided to make housing glitches available in-game. They just need to figure out how exactly to implement it, and they seem very interested in the housing system of WoW.

Save 10% on Everhood 2 on Steam AN UNCONVENTIONAL ARPG where you battle enemies through musical encounters while being accompanied by a raven who promises to retrieve your voice if you slay the mighty Mind Dragon!

At the start of Everhood 2, they asked me a series of deeply personal questions to determine my soul colour. The final one? "Do you play Fortnite?" Absolute Masterpiece. Oh, the gameplay is fun too.

Even though Rift of the Necrodancer made me realise I'm the worst rhythm game player in the world, it's still absolutely goated. Seriously, go and play it

"/Wont let go"

A gloomy autumn landscape in a classical style. At the center of the composition, a levitating, crumbling house is held by a fantastical dark-gray creature. The creature is disintegrating into red energy ribbons, carried away by the wind. A girl in a red sweater stands in the river, watching as both the creature and the house fall apart in the wind.

How video game publishers are digging their own graves Exploiting the ESRB to maximise profits

As a pro-consumer guy, I wasn't happy about Tekken 8 adding an in-game shop post-launch. So I wrote about how publishers might be digging their own graves by trying to game the ESRB.

I’d love to hear your thoughts, and feedback is always welcome :3

Since I primarily write in German, I figured it would be a fun exercise to translate some of my work into English and share it on Substack, since I have no idea how blogging works. I'll try to post some of my writing at least semi-regularly now :3

I have no idea what's going on over at the #Silksong subreddit, but the idea that the whole chocolate cake situation is either a prank by a random user or a Team Cherry dev trolling the community for over a year is honestly sending me rn. Even IGN reported on it

Anyway, release on 21.2? Who knows!

I didn’t expect to spend this much time with a $4 roguelite, but Talented absolutely blew me away. It has a very interesting spin on the formula and is super easy to learn

If you like spinning characters around, I recommend picking it up

Anyone else already exhausted by all the big games releasing in 2025 and beyond?

While I'm excited for Witcher 4, I just have more fun spending three hours on a bite-sized indie game like #Awaria than I would sinking the same amount of time into a giant AAA game just to make a dent in its story.

Save 10% on FOUNTAINS on Steam Master high-skilled combat to uncover the secrets of an ancient, interconnected world.

I do have a soft spot for Indie-Soulslikes and FOUNTAINS may be one of the coolest I've played this year. If you haven't checked it out yet, give it a go! I picked up a human skull and now wear it as a helmet - take notes, FromSoft

Well, #SteamReplay is here, and it reminded me that 2024 had some of the most amazing games, especially in the indie scene. Plus, 2025 already looks incredible with games like Hyper Light Breaker and Kyora from the Core Keeper devs. Let's hope I find the time to play them all (I won't).

Save 10% on The Cabin Factory on Steam Your job at the Cabin Factory is simple: inspect the cabins and decide on whether they’re haunted or not. If you do find any anomalies, get out…immediately.

After playing The Cabin Factory for half an hour, I can safely say that I am too much of a baby to play games like The Cabin Factory. Still pretty good tho.

There's a non-insignificant number of people working in games media who are old enough to remember the job being part of a wider movement, to distance the act of writing about games from the practice of selling them.

Seeing the tide wash back in on that, despite our best efforts, fucking sucks!

I kid you not, @itch.io has been taken down by Funko of "Funko Pop" because they use some trash "AI Powered" Brand Protection Software called Brand Shield that created some bogus Phishing report to our registrar, iwantmyname, who ignored our response and just disabled the domain
