[Quake 1] I don't know about you, but I'm happy about the free game (because I bought Q1 earlier, ha! :D) and I plan to play it this weekend. Wolf isn't a dick, he'll stand his ground, and this weekend, retirees get priority. They've added some cool new features.

[Samsung on the crisis] If you've heard the news that the crisis is supposedly ending, I'm sorry to say, but we've received further information from someone better informed that it won't. Apparently, the crisis is expected to last even longer.

[Microsoft x Steam] Apparently, Microsoft is trying to separate itself from Steam. The company hasn't commented on this yet, which doesn't surprise me. For a few years now, I've been hearing from various sources that there's another internal mess going on, and no one knows anything except that they need to cut costs and stuff AI into everything.

This all ties in with Microsoft wanting to port last-gen games to PC. Good move, but the question is how many truly valuable games have been released there.

[Sony] Sony has included information on new boxes that they're ending physical releases. Plus, a new patch will be available soon.

[GTA 6] A special, extended trailer for one of the most anticipated games of the decade will be released on Netflix on August 27th. We also received a statement from Netflix. https://www.comingsoon.net/games/news/2172426-grand-theft-auto-vi-netflix-exclusive-bonus-extended-look

Hello, comrades. People were talking loudly about the protest, and now the game has $1.4 billion in preorders. As I said, the only mistake Sony made was announcing this news too soon. Gamers love practicing this unique BDSM – they say they don't like it and it hurts them, but as soon as Mr. Corporation shows up, they fall to their knees. xD

We also received new promotional graphics.

Martial arts has joined the GTA promotion. https://gamerant.com/wwe-gta-6-vice-city-trademark/
[Call of Duty] Apparently, the developers have resolved some of the online game's issues. https://gamerant.com/call-of-duty-black-ops-2-update-hacking-issues/
When someone asks me why I ask gamers, I reply that they love getting their asses kicked without skipping a beat, and this is just another example of their behavior. https://gamerant.com/call-of-duty-black-ops-2-sales-numbers-2026/
Call of Duty: MW 4 will not be available on Xbox One and PS4. https://gamerant.com/cod-mw4-ps4-new-call-of-duty/

[Xbox 360] Rumors are circulating that Microsoft is planning to bring console games to PC. Considering the other rumors about Steam and the desire to make quick, easy money, it's possible.

[Steins; Gate] The remastered version of the popular game (I don't know what it's called, but the anime is amazing! I recommend it!) will be available on Steam and Xbox on August 19th. PS5 and both Switch versions will get their version on October 29th.

[Gears of War: E-Day] The game will have two beta test dates. The first runs from August 6th, and the second will start from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM (this is for all players, the first test is only for select players). The release date is October 6th.

[Platinum on Xbox] At the end of this year, Xbox will add trophies to its ecosystem that Sony console owners have been earning for many years.

[Zelda] Nintendo still hasn't revealed a release date; they've only said they plan to release the game in 2026.

[New or Cancelled Switch Games] Apex Legends on the Nintendo Switch has been shut down.

The Nintendo Switch 2 version will be released in the fall, and the game will go on sale on other consoles on August 25th.

[N Switch 2 Sales] The Nintendo Switch 2 has surpassed the Gamecube in terms of the number of units sold.
https://gamerant.com/switch-2-console-lifetime-sales-better-than-gamecube/
Nintendo has released sales data through July 30th. Nintendo's console has been on the market for such a short time, yet it has released as many triple-A games as the PS5. This isn't even a comedy, it's a pathetic drama. But that's what happens when you invest in absolute garbage (game services) instead of real games.
