Another week, another record for Blu-ray on the Nielsen VideoScan charts courtesy of Home Media Magazine. The big news here is that after the holidays Blu-ray seems to be getting stronger and stronger when you compare the amount of money spent vs DVD.
Digital intelligence and analytics firm Sensor Tower has released its State of Gaming 2026 report, revealing flat growth in mobile game revenue, double-digit growth for PC and console gaming, and another record year for PC, with more games sold on Steam than ever before.
Kotaku writes: "A Resident Evil Requiem review published by long-standing UK gaming news site Videogamer has been removed from Metacritic after readers pointed out it was written by a fake AI journalist who doesn’t actually exist. Videogamer‘s human masthead was gutted last week, sources tell Kotaku, and the site has been publishing apparent genAI slop ever since."
Genuinely well done on metacritic for taking such an immediate hard stance. Not often, if at all, you see that these days. Credit where it’s due.
This is really sad on so many levels. Not least of all the fact that all the human lost their jobs to a language model. Can we block all content coming from Videogamer site. Can we make a rule that content sumitted to N4G must be greated by a human being.
I'm gonna report every Videogamer article I see on N4G from now on so just putting it out there.
Isnt videogamer one of the N4G owner run sites?
Seems to fit their MO to cut corners and push cheap dribble.
Check my comments, over a year ago I was calling out videogamer and N4G on their AI articles pushing slop 24/7
It is amazing but I'm starting to slightly miss the moron gaming press we had in the 2010s because at least they were human.
Game and advertising companies have been told to 'get their houses in order' and be more transparent about the presence of loot boxes in mobile titles.
Do I even need to make the usual snide comment?
*sigh* Here it goes:
"Bu...bu...bu...but Blu Ray is DOOOOMED!"
Hah. Suck it, haters.
LMAO The xbots are getting killzowned with the Killzone 2 reviews and these bd sales charts.Their tears and frustration make each day in 2009 sensational.
Good for the Blu ray disc, speaking of Blu ray I should probably pick up a few titles next pay day...
Like any economic downturn, people invest in home entertainment...and after seeing how good Blu--ray looks on an HDTV, it's hard to go back to DVD.
Good for blu ray :)
