Candy Crush Saga, Clash of Clans and Call of Duty. According to an anonymous member of the games industry that Jim Sterling recently talked to, these three games? Besides them, nothing else exists.

Videogaming companies are being run by people with absolutely no videogaming background? In other news, the sky is blue, water is wet and I just finished watching Hunger Games: World on Fire about 30 minutes ago.

Marty O'Donnel, the composer who created the Halo series' main theme, was fired from Bungie "without cause" 5 days ago, on the 11th of April.

The hell? He was what made Halo a sensation with its opening. What the fuck, Bungie?!

I like it when people use the word "gay" in any context other than a homosexual one - it only proves that they have the maturity of a five year old, as if their obsession with shooters didn't already do a good job of pointing that out. It's also pretty amusing that he pointed out Skyrim considering the fact that, y'know, it's set in the bloody medival era and doesn't even have muskets, let alone generic modern firearms.

But just for fun, let's play around with his logic a bit.

game - gun = gay
game + gun = -gay
game + gun + Arem = ???

Knowing Microsoft, money was probably involved. Specifically, the money they didn't want to paying him.

Of course, it seems naieve to cut costs on one of the few franchises that will break even on virtually any kind of budget, so part of me wonders if this is just another sign that they are losing the plot.

Sony sells all of their 9.5 million shares in Squeenix. All of them.

Before someone tries to make out that this is a bad omen for Sony, I'd like to say this is more just a sign that they don't have any confidence in Squeenix anymore... and after All the Bravest, who can blame them

Are you kidding? This is probably one of the smartest things Sony's ever done. Square's seriously been dropping the ball for the past few years and it's about time someone actually showed them how little faith people have in them these days. Maybe it'll force them to get back to making quality titles, you know, the kind that pretty much gave them the crown as undisputed RPG champions.

Square Enix reads this and sees "Mobile Free To Play Web 3.0"

I'd sell all of my stocks in Square-Enix too if I had any.

It's kinda what happens when you make "W+M1: the Game". Three times, no less.

Listening to what has been released so far, he did one hell of a swan song.
