A new Circana report highlights how the Video Game Market is currently performing. Mat Piscatella posted the results from the report on BlueSky. This report comes from August 2024, so it's slightly out of date by this point, as we are fast approaching November 2024. The report's projected U.S. total spending on video game hardware, content, and accessories fell by 7% during August 2024 compared to last year. Considering the current state of the games industry right now, this isn't as bad as it could be. The positive of the financial report is that 2024 year-to-date spending is now 1% […]

For a while in the late 2010/early 2020s, it seemed liked gaming subscriptions may be the future of the hobby. Microsoft certainly wanted us to think it was the future, pushing Xbox Game Pass every chance they got, and Sony eventually joined the party with their own expanded PlayStation Plus service. Ultimately though, enthusiasm for gaming subscription services hit a wall. Xbox Game Pass badly missed growth targets back in 2022, and since then, execs like Phil Spencer have struck a more reserved tone when discussing subscriptions, saying Game Pass would likely never account for more than 10 to 15 […]
Want to see a magic trick? All you need is an open-world video game that flopped at launch and a popular subscription service with millions of gamers. And presto, you can bring a “dead” game like Saints Row (2022) back to life and make it one of the mo...

Apple finally included a telephoto lens in its iPhone 15 Pro Max last year, with the upgrade extended to the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max. This is just one of the many examples of how the Cupertino firm adopts various standards much later than the competition, likely because it wants to offer the best configuration to customers.
