Tripwire CEO John Gibson has stepped down after posting his support for the anti-abortion legislature in Texas on Twitter which riled up a good portion of the games industry.
How bad could it be? Well, check out this week's roundup for all the details. In other news, there’s a new Alan Wake Remaster on the way, Sony bought a new 250 person studio called Firesprite, Jagex shut down and Old School RuneScape mod and then changed their mind, and lastly, Star Citizen got a slap on the wrist the European government for being shady.
But wait, there’s more! This week's 5-Second Review tackles WarioWare Get It Together and Brian’s thoughts on mini-games. The Coming Soon section this week is rocking the likes of Deathloop, SkateBird, and Eastward… but maybe you already knew that. You’re so smart.
Have a great weekend and thanks for watching.
