Activision-Blizzard lays off 775 people after “record results in 2018”

News follows split with Bungie and a year with no major Blizzard releases.

Game publisher Activision-Blizzard will lay off 8 percent of its work force, or around 775 people, CEO Bobby Kotick announced on the company's earnings call today. The move is being made in an effort at "de-prioritizing initiatives that are not meeting expectations and reducing certain non-development and administrative-related costs across the business," Kotick explained

I'm playing Wargroove and Civilization 6, currently. Both are fun.

BioWare’s sky-high gaming ambition crashes back to Earth

It's out, finally. But maybe it shouldn't be.

BioWare, the developer responsible for Mass Effect and Dragon Age, has returned with its first new series in over a decade, Anthem. It's a pretty big departure for the RPG-heavy studio: a jetpack-fueled, action-first online "looter-shooter." And after a disastrous demo launched weeks ago, we wondered whether we'd even get a playable game.

The good news is that we did, and at its best, Anthem feels brilliant, beautiful, and thrilling. At its worst, though, this is a stuttering, confusing, heartfelt mess of an action game.

I snagged Final Fantasy 13 on the Steam sale this week. I had $10 in my steam account and it was $7 and change. I went a head and sprung for it.

I'm also playing Endereal (the Skyrim overhaul). It's a little buggy, but so far, it's not bad.
