Today, Microsoft is laying off 2.1% of its workforce. This equates to 4,800 people that are being let go. The company's XBOX division is cutting about 20% of its entire workforce. All of this is being done in an effort to cut costs due to rising prices and expenses brought about by artificial intelligence (AI).
Starting January 2028, Sony will no longer produce physical discs for new PlayStation game releases. All games released in January 2028 and after will be available only through digital stores such as the PlayStation Store.

Black Mesa is Getting a Demake on the Half-Life Engine
So, a fan remake on a new engine for a game released on an old engine is getting demade back on the old engine?
You ever see a news story that just makes you scratch your head? This is one of them.
It took almost 15 years from a mod team to create and fully release Black Mesa, a Source engine remake of Valve's original Half-Life. A bit more than a simple remake, Black Mesa took a few liberties with some aspects of their creation, opting to expand the game a bit beyond...

SGDQ Speedrunner Admits to Faking Metal Gear Rising World Record Run
It was all smoke and mirrors... and pre-recorded.
Summer Games Done Quick 2022 has come and gone. This year's event pulled in over $3 million (USD) for charity and was full of ridiculous runs, various incentives, and a few cases of "that's never happened before."

Diablo Immortal Pulls in $49 Million in First Month
The game has also been downloaded over 10 million times.
On June 20, we learned not only that Diablo Immortal's release in China was delayed, but also that the game already pulled in $24 million (USD) through microtransactions. That's how much the game made just in its first two weeks of availability. At the time, I guessed that Diablo Immortal would pull in about $50 million over the course of an entire month.
