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

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.

Three hours after allying with 8chan, THQ Nordic goes into full apology mode
"I do not condone child pornography, white supremacy, or racism in any shape or form."
Game publisher THQ Nordic concluded a rollercoaster of a promotional Tuesday by apologizing for its use of the controversial imageboard site 8chan as a host for an "Ask Me Anything" Q&A session.
On Tuesday morning, THQ Nordic's Twitter account announced and linked to the AMA, saying, "We're doing an 8chan AMA and we have no idea why." The session had been announced nearly a day prior on 8chan's "/v/" sub-board by its own moderators, but it was THQ Nordic's official announcement that garnered wider attention—and drew responses about the site's reputation for either outright hosting child pornography or skating on the edge of state, federal, and international laws on the matter.
