Appearing before the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and its lootbox workshop ("Inside the Game"), the Entertainment Software Association (ESA) dropped a bombshell: Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft would be requiring publishers to include drop rate tables in all games that contained a lootbox mechanic. But why did this happen today? What can the current (and historical) regulatory environment tell us about what the industry is facing? And how does the ESA's carefully worded statement not quite say what they want you to think it says? We always drop legendaries at 100%...in Virtual Legality.

Ian Mclarty joins us again to talk about his latest game JUMPGRID a fast paced puzzle game that features a combination of quick fire action gameplay, sort of a plays a bit like Pacman but with teleporting. With a kicking soundtrack and cosmic level design JUMPGRID looks like it's a big departure from Ian's last game Dissembler but things might be closer than it seems. We first spoke to Ian on Episode 96 of the podcast so you check out that if you're interested in learning more about how he makes games. Developing a game by yourself is something that many indie developers are choosing to do but in a new article by Brendan Sinclair, Joakim Sandberg, developer of Iconoclasts says that solo development may not be all it's cracked up to be. We dig into the difference between solo game development and isolated game development and why one is preferable to the other.

The entire GI team is on board to discuss what we expect (and hope) to see from this year's E3 conference in LA. Our North American duo of James Brightman and Brendan Sinclair kick off the discussion, before our European triumvirate Matt Handrahan, Chris Dring and James Batchelor offer their thoughts. Across the two groups, we break down what we're likely to see from each of the major publisher and platform holder press conferences, their different strategies in E3s past, the role virtual reality will play in each company's offering, and how the E3 show floor is likely to change with a fresh influx of consumer ticket holders. GamesIndustry.biz will be covering E3 extensively over the next week, with streams of each of the press conferences and special daily E3 Briefing newsletters.
