This past week, Sony took the stage with their first official State of Play showcase of 2023 and revealed a ton of exciting upcoming releases. As well, Microsoft, Activision-Blizzard, and several other companies met in Brussels to challenge some of the EU regulators' claims and some interesting developments came to light.  

Kick your feet up and grab a drink, cause it’s gonna be a heavy show tonight, folks!

As the 2023 release window finally begins to heat up, so does movement in the business side of the gaming industry. Despite every major tech company making cuts to staff and expenses, Sega decides to follow Nintendo and give its employees raises, while Embracer Group reveals some disappointing Q3 stats and Take-Two experiences a major shake up in sister developer Firaxis. As well, it looks like Sony might finally be opening the door to negotiations in Microsoft’s potential Activision-Blizzard acquisition. 

Kick up your feet and dive in deep to some interesting gaming developments on this week’s episode of TWIG.

The ABK Acquisition finally heats up in 2023 with some interesting developments from Sony, the CMA, and the EU. We also got an exciting Nintendo Direct showcase which revealed some unexpected remasters and upcoming releases. In addition, Hogwarts Legacy seems to be breaking the internet, Square Enix and Take Two both reveal some surprising financial reports, and Sony makes history with the best ever holiday sales for any gaming console. 

It’s all about the m-m-money this week on TWIG!

This past week, Xbox seemed to rule the gaming news cycle. In addition to their Developer Direct presentation, which gave us a wonderful look at some upcoming 2023 releases, they provided us with some juicy details about the Activision-Blizzard FTC complaint as well as an update on their most recent financial quarter. In addition, it appears like Naughty Dog is hanging up the Uncharted series' controllers, Blizzard fired a worker for failing to reach company quotas, and Amazon appears to be encroaching even more on the Tomb Raider series. Additionally, we at The Lambency Show have a really exciting announcement.

Grab a beer and kick up those feet, cause it’s time for another episode of “This Week in Gaming”.
