5080 has been called boring by the initial reviews: there's nearly no performance gain for a higher real price and higher TDP.

🔥 Good news, everyone!

PlayStation decided that Herman Hulst isn't doing the right thing with his PSN account requirements. They replaced him + you no longer need PSN for several single player games:

• Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
• The Last of Us Part II Remastered
• Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered
• God of War Ragnarök

Hulst is left to supervise internal studios. And now Hideaki Nishino will be the only CEO of PlayStation.

From now on, PlayStation will keep PSN accounts as optional link that will grant users with certain gifts and addons (the same as CDPR does with Cyberpunk and The Witcher 3).

There's yet another No Man's Sky update. This time with the new types of stars, better forests, better water, and some other technologies they are porting from the upcoming Light No Fire.

That's a good one (I'd still question 3, 7, 8, and 9).

Meanwhile, BioWare faced restructuring or as they called it "an update"! People were moved from the studio to other EA businesses. Some were just dismissed with the chance to apply for other roles (but without clarity about their future).

If you are making games with Cocos, go try Balancy for free till June!

Cocos is the game engine (lightweight) and Balancy is Live Ops tool that helps with shops, offers, a/b testing, and stuff (without rebuilding and re-uploading the whole game).

The nature is healing 🍀

I'd say the same for gaming: we need a little more games about happiness, comfort, and friendship. Even still you can't turn a dark fantasy into one, there's enough space for original stories that warm people up! ❤️
