🎮 DOOM Goes Medieval: Dragons, Mechs, and Medieval Mayhem Await #
DOOM's about to change everything we know about demon slaying.
The Dark Ages (dropping May 15, 2025) isn't just another DOOM game.
Here's what's wild:
- You'll fly on a cybernetic dragon
- Pilot massive demon mechs
- Wield medieval weapons like electric gauntlets
But the biggest surprise? They're ditching the complex story delivery. No more diving into codex entries – just pure, brutal action.
Combat areas are wider, Glory Kills work from any angle, and there's only one currency to worry about.
→ Pure. Simple. Brutal.

🎯 Dishonored 2: The $100M+ "Failure" That Saved Its Studio #
Here's a gaming industry secret that just leaked:
Dishonored 2 cost more to make than Skyrim.
Mind-blowing, right?
Even wilder:
- Didn't hit Bethesda's sales targets
- Still saved Arkane Studios
- Proved quality beats quantity
Why? The game was so good, it built an unshakeable reputation.
→ Sometimes not hitting the numbers isn't game over.

📉 Apex Legends' Great Exodus: What Went Wrong? #
The numbers don't lie.
February 2024: 470,696 Steam players
December 2024: 140,830 players
That's a 70% drop. But why?
The mistakes:
- Heavy monetization focus
- One new legend in 2024
- Single new map
- No new weapons
EA admits they need "large systematic change"
→ Question is: Can they turn this ship around?
Games on!
