    “You cannot f___ the future, sir. The future f____ you.” So, we're back to the discussion of $80 games, and to get right to the core of it—this is happening. It was probably always going to happen. Inflation affects everything—food, materials, consumer goods—prices inevitably rise, and video games are no exception. The same goes for […]

    How do you solve a problem like GTA 6? What I mean by that is that when you have a game like GTA 6 it sort of dominates the store shelves – it dominates the topic of conversation. And getting back to the store shelves that's the problem. When you release a game like this, […]
