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.

A New Ratchet and Clank Game Announced... It's a Mobile Arena Shooter
Oh COME ON!
It's not easy being a fan of the Ratchet & Clank games. The last new entry in the franchise, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, came out back in 2021. It got a PC port in 2023. Prior to the 2021 title, the previous newest entry was a 2016 release. The franchise's main developer, Insomniac Games, is all about Marvel these days, having released three Spider-Man titles since 2020, with a Wolverine title coming in 2026.
As the case was with the old Steam Machines, Valve once offered a controller that was aptly named Steam Controller. It featured two circular touchpads, a single thumbstick, and the common ABXY-button scheme.
It released in late 2015 alongside the original Steam Machine. While it was made for use with those Steam Machines, you could use it on PC or a Steam Link without any issue. It wasn't a terrible device, once you got over the awkward...
Valve once had an idea for a small form factor gaming PC that would run SteamOS and offer PC gamers a console-like experience. The studio partnered with several vendors, each coming out with their own versions of the Steam Machine. They often featured different hardware configurations but so long as they included Valve's small list of requirements, they were given the Steam Machine branding.
The first batch of Steam Machines came out in late 2015 and cost anywhere...

Destiny 2 Causes $204 Million 'Impairment Loss' for Sony
Destiny 2 failed to hit several targets.
More and more it sure looks like it was a bad idea from Sony to acquire Destiny developer Bungie. In Sony's latest financial report (PDF link), they directly attribute a 31.5 billion yen (roughly $204 million USD) "impairment loss" to Destiny 2. Specifically, this impairment loss is due to Destiny 2 failing to hit sales milestones as well as declining user engagement.
The impairment was significant enough to bring down...
Was 2025 a big year for game completions for you, or were you more of a "stick to one never-ending, live-service game for the entire year" sort of player?
For this, you can take whatever definition you want as a game "completion." Beat the main story? Earned 100% of the game's achievements? Or simply played enough that you're satisfied with what you accomplished and have no plans to return any time...
