In the PlayStation 5 generation, Sony Computer Entertainment's software output hasn't been as impressive as it was in the previous console generation. Due to SIE’s aggressive live service push, the Japanese publisher released several games - such as the ill-fated Concord from Firewalk Studios and Marathon from Bungie - that did not meet players' expectations. Despite this, President Hideaki Nishino confirmed they will continue to pursue live-service games, even as he heavily hints at a PlayStation 6 handheld designed to meet the changing playstyles of gamers worldwide. "We believe that live service games are content that attracts users on a global level, so we want to continue to revitalize the market through both first-party and third-party content," Hideaki Nishino said in a new interview with Famitsu celebrating the magazine's 40th anniversary. "We are not only focusing on promoting new releases, but also considering what we can do with older titles in the medium to long term. Also, this year we are planning to release our own live service title, MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls, and we hope everyone will enjoy it."
Tim Sweeney quoted in gamesradar.com He refers to an example of making a flower pot model for a game. "The value is not in creating a perfect flower pot. It will be an absolute folly to spend a million dollars creating a flower pot, because the real value is in building the scene and building the game and building the narrative, and the gameplay, and making it awesome, and giving it a unique feel, and making something that appeals to gamers."

Marcos Maximillian Tritremmel, president of Austria's Eurovision fan club, remembers the atmosphere vividly. He understands why protesters object to Israel's presence. "But when you get yelled at on your way into a concert hall - 'What are you doing here? Why are you supporting the genocide?' - at that point, it stops being funny," he told Germany's Der Spiegel magazine.

“I dislike social commentary. Like… I really hate it. When I’m reading a book, I just want to be entertained, not preached at by the author. Plus, it ruins the wonder of the story if I know the author has a political or social axe to grind. I no longer speculate about all possible outcomes of the story because I know for a fact that the universe of that book will conspire to ensure that the author’s political agenda is validated. I hate that,” Weir said. “I put no politics or social commentary into my stories at all. Anyone who thinks they see something like that is reading it in on their own. I have no point to make, and I’m not trying to affect the reader’s opinion on anything. My sole job is to entertain, and I stick to that.”

From DW, on Merz, a genocidal embarrassment: His remarks underscored uncertainty over whether the strikes were justified. Yet Merz declined to deliver a legal judgment under international law: "This is not the moment to lecture our partners and allies. Despite our reservations, we share many of their objectives."

Commander Farsight writes a Steam review for Australia Did It: "I've been waiting for this game ever since I saw the first trailer and it did not disappoint! An absolutely fascinating mix of tower defense, bullet hell, and turn based combat that takes incredible queues from games like Into The Breach and Colossatron while forging its own path. I love the aesthetic, and the units are a mix of odd, eccentric designs while still having clear archetypes. The merging is a fun take on a tired mechanic, turning it into a way to slingshot units across the map or desperately summon the correct answer to a particular enemy. As each round presents a unique and interesting puzzle to solve, you're forced to pick between where to best allocate resources without ever being able to fully control how the pieces fall, making those few times when you wipe the whole board clean truly memorable. Once the turn based combat ends, the game is flipped on its head! The on-the-rails, bullet-hell train sequences are frantic and chaotic, yet reward thought out plans by making it so a variety of units in each train car provide a greater toolbox to tackle the swarms of insects and robots that want nothing more than to tear your train apart. New merges can even prove to be a detriment if it means losing a critical source of a specific type of bullet pattern or damage type, so sometimes keeping weaker units actually makes for a better train defense. Overall, the game has its quirks and a bit of a steep learning curve at first, but god does it feel amazing when it really clicks. I seriously cannot wait for full release!"
