Everyone has heard around the world that the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, has passed away. Besides his great contribution to music through out his life, he also was very big into video games. Long before Guitar Hero ruled the music gaming realm, Michael Jackson's Moonwalker did. Back in 1990 I was both a MJ fan and a gamer, so I spent lots of time and quarters playing the Moonwalker games.
Nintendo announced Friday that several of its long-time partners, including DeNA, will sell off some ¥300 billion in company shares.
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.
