As reported by Digitaltrends and during recent interviews with Geekwire Phil Spencer has said they want to put Gamepass on anything people play games on. To paraphrase the entire interview (which can be found in the links above) they know they won’t sell billions of consoles because not everyone wants to own one nor is it a part of everyone’s lifestyle. With Gamepass being sold on everything from Xbox, to PC to mobile they want to make games as a service a big part of their business model.

Now Phil stopped very short of uttering the words PlayStation but he certainly seems to imply they are open to the idea of Nintendo and Sony getting in on the action as a way to get Gamepass out there. Now I know it sounds insane, but is it really? It would be another place for gamers to use Gamepass and it is money in everyone’s pocket. I don’t see it happening, but Microsoft seems to be open to the idea. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Due out, well last month on consoles, the last we heard of this long-awaited game it is was delayed by now Bankrupt developers Starbreeze Studios was due to lackluster performance in every capacity on PC. Now Skybound Entertainment, the company that licenses to make The Walking Dead Games, has pulled the license from Starbreeze and has canceled the game in its entirety. For those interested in a bit more info, Polygon has you covered. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Variety reports that Valve will be getting rid of its video section and a bunch of stuff will be pulled since apparently, most people don’t seem to care. This doesn’t really surprise me since honestly it is gaming launcher and people use it to play games and with a growing number of launchers out there, most notably the Epic Games launcher they really will want to streamline things for customers. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

For those Final Fantasy fans out there, Nintendo will once again make you love them and piss some of you off. First, Final Fantasy 7 will be out March 26th which is exactly what we needed. Final Fantasy 7 on another platform. (sarcasm) Before that tho, we get Final Fantasy 9, which launched already, that day, in fact, on another platform. Because on every platform known to man almost wasn’t enough. They did, however, skip, once again, Final Fantasy 8. Don’t get me wrong I own 7 and 9 and I did on both PS one and I do on PS4. Also owned 7 on PC, so this isn’t about hating either game, I think 7 is one of the most influential of all time and both can be argued to be two of the all-time greats. My real issue is that once again Final Fantasy 8 is skipped even tho this year, and more precisely this month is the 20th anniversary of the release of FF8. Now I understand why in theory, supposedly they lost much of the original PlayStation releases code and they can’t simply port the PC version over, so there is, in theory, a valid reason, but it still sucks. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

If you can’t get enough of creating insane levels to torture other people with, your time has come. Well, will come this June. I have honestly never tried these out, but I can’t imagine more Mario being a bad thing. Check out the trailer below. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Not too long ago, much to the dismay of many the PC release of Tropico 6 was delayed for an undisclosed amount of time. Well, Kalypso Media has given us a release date. March 29th, 2019 and as an added bonus if you preordered before 7 p.m. (CET) January 10th, 2019 you will get the first DLC planned or 2019 free. I know the wait sucks, but not a bad trade-off really. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
