At the beginning of this episode we have a wonderful interview with Katie & Micah. They’re a husband and wife team working on their first game together. The pull of which is styled on Roller Coaster Tycoon but for national parks. It’s a very indie title due to release sometime before the end of the year and you can currently wish list it now on Steam.
After that we talk about some updates from previous stories from last weekend and dive into those leaks of GTA6 and Microsoft decided not to disclose sales numbers anymore.
To expand upon both of those it’s really just two companies who want to keep information from the general public. The GTA leak is a result of that, apparently, and the Microsoft thing – well, that’s kind of a mystery as to why they want to do that. Because now you’ve removed yourself from representation at the table, so to speak.
Either way, it doesn’t matter much on both ends. GTA will eventually get released and we’ll enjoy it for ourselves and Microsoft will just keep doing what they’re doing without us knowing how successful or unsuccessful they were at doing it. There are plenty of other metrics to go on that can tell you if something was successful or not. It won’t be near as official but you can easily “read the room” of the internet for the most part.
Someone else who clearly has not read the room is Ubisoft. Because there are at least a dozen of us waiting for a new Splinter Cell. Ubisoft…it’s been 4,752 days since a new Splinter Cell game (non-animated series or guest spot in another game franchise, remake, BBC radio drama, or VR exclusive) was released.
Also, there’s been 10,618 job losses in the gaming industry since January 1, 2026.
