After years of Joy-Con drift complaints, France finally hit Nintendo with a €35 million / about $40 million “please fix your sticks” bill.

Mine game of shame is Morrowind. It’s a game I can see why it’s beloved even today, but I just can never find the time to invest into it. If I had the time of my 15 year old self, or played it when it came out I could see getting completely lost in it.

As a child Is was not able to finish every level at 00 agent and thus unlock Temple and 'finish' the game. Adult me finally did it (Xbox).

GTA 6 & Godzilla Remastered

Title says it all. I love these kind of puzzle games that kinda force you to put down the controller and use pen and paper to solve puzzles. I know thats a very broad description 😅

Anything you can recommend?

Kind of a niche question but Skullduggery island got me absolutely hooked on pirate games when I was a kid. I loved wares having different prices on each island, and mastering trade by memorizing which island would pay the most for whatever I managed to collect. You would also use the money to upgrade into a bigger ship over time.

I haven’t really played a lot of pirate games now other than Assassins Creed Black Flag but it didn’t quite scratch that trade itch. Great game though. Have also played Dredge but it’s got more a focus on clearing quests and not quite about trade

To put this kind of scale into perspective, as recently as 2021, their annual revenue sat around $750 million. In just five years, the franchise’s revenue has more than quadrupled.

Not talking about the big AAA releases that everyone already knows about.

Just curious because there are so many multiplayer games coming out now, and honestly most of them kinda blend together for me.

For me it's usually one of these:

• friends are already playing it
• matches are quick
• easy to pick up without spending hours learning everything

I feel like if a game doesn't grab my attention pretty quickly, I end up moving on to something else

What usually gets you to give a new game a shot?
