Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, one thing is clear: The video games industry is thriving. As people around the world find themselves with more time on their hands thanks to government-mandated lockdowns and a partial economic shutdown, video game sales have skyrocketed. Despite being overshadowed by some of the more glamorous uses for blockchain technology, the gaming industry may be poised for a generational leap forward with the advent of asset tokenization — a practice that could expose the gaming industry to a whole new wave of investors while simultaneously unlocking

Hi there, Xbox Wire readers! I’m excited to announce my indie game Evan’s Remains is finally coming to Xbox One today. If you like puzzles, loads of story, and colorful pixel art, feel free to check it out.

However, on this occasion, I’d like to talk about the good things about my

Greetings, Guardians. It’s Thursday, which means another This Week at Bungie is landing in our laps to discuss the state of the game we all love. Today, and hopefully every week going forward, I’m going to do my best to read between the lines and sift through the public relations coating that Bungie’s weekly post has.

It’s Thursday, Guardians, which means a new This Week at Bungie (TWAB). I opened it hoping to find some acknowledgement of one of the biggest player gripes in the last year. Instead, I found details about Trials of Osiris, cheating, disconnects, and emblems. Missing is any mention of the Eververse, probably the biggest complaint players have about the game right now.
