Bobby Kotick is a billionaire, and as such his mere existence isn’t ethical. He’s also a massive prick, which doesn’t help. He is so undeservedly rich, even Activision Blizzard’s own shareholders are starting to think he might be making a little too much. CtW Investment Group is urging fellow stakeholders…

Minecraft, while popular with kids, is deep and complex and imaginative. Minecraft Dungeons is rudimentary and restrictive by contrast. Hell, it’s rudimentary and…
2K Games quietly shunted a remaster of Mafia II out the door, and playing it reveals why the publisher hasn’t been particularly loud. It’s a load of rubbish. A shockingly poor revision of a game that hadn’t aged all that well to begin with, Mafia II: Definitive Edition is definitively…
