The Xbox reset doesn't have an end date | Opinion (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Asha Sharma marked the conclusion of her first hundred days as Xbox CEO with a public blog post in which she called for the next hundred days to be a "reset" of the business. Highlighting the division's low "accountability margin" and declining revenues, along with macro factors like the hardware component crisis, Sharma's post was a fairly obvious omen of layoffs to come – corporate executives don't say things like "we have found ourselves over extended" or start talking about "hard truths" unl

While not everyone is catastrophising, nobody seems to be outright rejecting the framing of "Crash 2.0" either. The spectre of the 1983 videogame cra

Read excerpt
When the hype engine for GTA 6 roared into top gear this week, there was a quietly touching aspect amid the excitement that will stay with me for a while. As the 27 minute long extended look at the game racked up millions of views on YouTube, a theme emerged in the comments. Many of the most upvoted messages were brief tributes to friends and loved ones who adored GTA but had passed away before the game’s release – a surprisingly poignant response to the tongue-in-cheek ultraviolence of the vide
