GameHounds 783: EA is To Gaming What Planes Are to The World Trade Center
GameHounds
Good lord, will someone just slap the president of EA. Better yet, just slap the whole board of directors. Black Panther scuttled, studio shuttered. Do these people even know what they're doing? Oh that's right: Nestling up to the teat of shareholders. That tracks. Also, Nightreign doing well despite mixed reviews, GeoGuessr dev revolt does the trick, and Atlas learns the hard way to not piss off a very famous VO Actor after you tell him there's a remake coming.

GameHounds 781: Gawd, But Bungie Sucks!!
GameHounds
For the fourth... yes, FOURTH... time now, Bungie has been caught red-handed stealing art for their games. Why does this keep happening? Well, apparently, it's an ex-employee, or so we're supposed to believe. Meanwhile, Fortnight's Darth Vadar chatbot is going about as well as you might expect, Warner Bros' gaming revenue is going EXACTLY as badly as we expected, and Kojima announces a world starting,... holy crap, it's in two weeks!!! ALEXA, BUY AIRLINE TICKETS NAO!

GameHounds 779: Oblivion Remake Takes Over EVERYTHING!!
GameHounds
SPECIAL GUEST: HOLY GOALIE with a review of the Oblivion Remake -- from a self-admitted Skyrim fanboy who HATED Oblivion the first time around. Good lord. The only thing as UNsurprising as the Oblivion Remake becoming a total juggernaut for gaming this month is how badly Blizzard's former chief is so INCREDIBLY out of touch with gaming! Oblivion Remake wasn't going to be a BIG DEAL?!?! WHAAAATTT?????

GameHounds 778: Two Weeks of Absolute Tariff-Driven Industry Chaos!
GameHounds
Edie goes away for a couple of weeks and the whole gaming world loses its damn mind! Nintendo delays the Switch 2 preorders in the USA because... tariffs. Then it cancels some preorders because... tariffs. And then they change prices on peripherals because of... you guessed it! Tariffs! This whole world-trade chaos is wrecking havoc on the game industry, and it looks to not be stopping anytime soon.

GameHounds 777: My Boyfriend Got Laid Off From Crystal Dynamics
GameHounds
Yes, Edie's beau was one of the unlucky 17. She has no insight, and she doesn't want to, but we will talk about those layoffs, what it's like to be part of a video game layoff (from the inside), and of course all the other news, including how, after their former c-suite buddies (literally) screwed their young, female employees, the Guilmonster family is now screwing over all their stockholders.
