Nothing fun or funny to say this week. Just anger and sadness over an industry that remains truly screwed up and rotten to the core. Activision, Ubisoft, Insomniac, “AAA” powerhouses and small indie outfits. It’s rotten.
An alleged crypto mining farm turned to out to be an alleged FIFA Coin mining farm, highlighting the ridiculousness of EA’s sprawling microtransaction economy. As players “skip the grind” in less legal ways, Electronic Arts continues a years-long struggle against the FIFA black market. It’s a struggle EA deserves.
It’s the pilot episode of Stephanie Sterling’s Heaving Toychest. It’s just a show where we look at stupid toys, no biggie. But hey, we have lots of Aliens stuff if you like action figures that are totally appropriate for your kids! I mean… they included the dog. The DOG!
MERCH STORE IS BACK: https://www.thejimporium.com/ Nintendo announced the Switch OLED to a chorus of angry boos this past week, even though technically Nintendo didn’t do anything wrong.

As Activision CEO Bobby Kotick pockets an absurd $155 million for no good reason, let’s look at the company being bad, and doing bad things, like a bad company. No further criticism needed, right? Well…
Lost in Terra Mora is a first-person horror game on Steam. That’s okay. There’s hundreds of thousands of them, and this is one of them!
E3 happened, and it was a particularly mediocre one this year. Let’s face it though, even when it’s at its best, E3 isn’t really that important or vital. It’s always been guff, and always will be guff. Rather than subject myself to the hype and lies this year, I decided…
Scott Cawthon, creator of Five Nights at Freddy’s, has been giving money to some of the worst people in America. While he’s free to do so, I’m free to say he absolutely sucks for it. Some have argued that contributing to the very worst Republicans around is harmless, because it’s…
