Despite a runtime of over five hours and having time to talk about everything from Zork and EverQuest to the potential firing of 1000 employees, Jeff Kaplan’s tell-all interview with Lex Fridman did not include any line of questioning regarding Blizzard’s largest-ever scandal that broke just months after the creative director and vice president left the company.
Gonçalo Santos digs deeper.
In our first [Patreon Unlock] we take a look at Michael Beckwith’s huge weekly rundowns of October’s news.
Another month filled with video games, news, and the continued Schrodinger’s acquisition.
Alex Green is back with another Update Patch!
“What a year, huh?” - Lexi
“Captain, it’s February!” - Alex Green
Well, we should probably round up all the news anyway.
A lot of news happened in the games industry in 2022, and some of it was almost too wild to believe… and yet here we are.
Michael Beckwith has a top-ten-list-worth of wild stuff, that barely scratches the surface of this industry.
The year is almost over but the video game news machine doesn’t stop no matter what. Alex Green is here with a rundown of everything that happened in the industry in November.
The scariest time of year has come and gone… AND WE’RE NOT TALKING ABOUT TAX SEASON, AMIRIGHT?
But seriously, a lot of important gaming news happened in October.
Alex Green rounds it all up.
This Update Patch is late?
A monthly news update is never late. It gets posted exactly when it means to!
Or a few days after Alex Green gets done writing it.
This edition of Update Patch is brought to you by Kolsch, pork knuckle and big halls of sweaty gamers. But there was also plenty of other news this month outside of what happened in Germany.
July was a month of game delays, executives saying dumb things and acquisitions.
Ok, so that sounds like every month in the games industry this year but there were definitely some stories you missed.
Alex Green rounded them all up for us!
After a month off Update Patch, Alex Green returns to the site with a bumper round-up of all of April’s major video game news.
It is nearly impossible to care about something as seemingly quaint as video games when what is going on in the world right now continues. However, oftentimes our hobby intersects with these important issues.
Alex Green highlights all the month’s biggest video game stories including the industries’ reaction to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
January is usually a pretty quiet news month, so we have told Alex Green to keep this Update Patch short.
…
Wait, what happened?
After 2020 we joked that there was no way 2021 could be any worse… Well, Alex Green is here to round up all the ways we were wrong.
At least 2022 has to be better, right… RIGHT?
We could write a spiffy strapline, but honestly, November was a pretty grim month for the video game industry. Alex Green is here to make sure you are up to date on everything that happened.
October felt like it arrived out of nowhere and then left as if it lasted for three months. That means that there was also three months of news to catch up on, right?
We should check with Alex Green and see if this maths checks out.
September was a month of winners and losers… Actually, it was mainly a month of losers. Alex Green rounds up all of the biggest stories from the last month.
Last month felt like the beginning of a long reckoning and so it felt very strange to be “celebrating games” this month with Gamescom. Alex Green is back to help us run this strange gambit of news.
Huge content warning, some truly awful things came out about the games industry this month. However, we and Alex Green felt it was necessary to cover it in our monthly round-up.
Despite seemingly every game being delayed out of 2021 there is still plenty of news around the industry. Alex Green is here to breakdown everything that happened in April.
