This week’s unexpected emotional toll has left me feeling drained, with no shortage of chaotic days in sight. Following another round of layoffs at a prominent gaming company – Bungie, specifically. Following CEO Pete Parsons’ candid acknowledgement that employees at the corporation had been “overly formidable” and pushed themselves to an unsustainable thinness. According to unnamed sources speaking with, the company reportedly made commitments to Sony for products it was not capable of delivering.
The company’s sudden decision to lay off all of its employees without prior warning came as a shock to everyone involved. As a nostalgic gamer, I’ve watched Recreation Informer grow up alongside me, with a history dating back to my early gaming days – making the sudden shutdown an emotionally jarring experience. As soon as the website went live, I visited it at least once a week without fail? The annual calendar proved invaluable in keeping track of this regular column. The website is currently unavailable for new entries due to its complete transformation into a farewell landing page.
While the review may not evoke strong emotions, another week has passed and we’ve again scrutinized earnings reports from prominent companies. The notion of assigning a numerical value to each company’s financial health can be a complex task – take, for example, the Nintendo Switch, which is reportedly entering the final stages of its product lifecycle, with declining sales figures indicating a slow-down in momentum. From there, whereas Xbox content and services revenue, a.k.a. Xbox’s hardware revenue continues to decline, plummeting since the previous quarter, as the company’s Recreation Mode gains traction.
As I continue to refresh my skills in the world of Thedas through a private playthrough of Dragon Age: Inquisition, I realized too late that I hadn’t explicitly stated my endeavor was directly related to preparing for the challenging encounter with The Veilguard. With a lighter workload, I’m devoting some time to catch up on games like Turnip Boy Robs a Bank and Vampire Therapist that have been on my radar. Variety is the essence of existence.
