Hey, fellow gamers!

Brace yourselves for a wild ride through today's biggest gaming news!

Time for your Thursday news fix:

🎭 The developer of soulslike RPG Lies of P shared excitement over the game's outstanding performance since hitting Game Pass, exceeding expectations. We analyze the lucrative boost of subscribers, positive word-of-mouth and Microsoft co-marketing support accelerating modest projects overnight into mainstream visibility. A win-win indeed!

⬆️ Steam announced a new profile feature to hide specific games from your library to reduce clutter or embarrassment. We discuss the usefulness of curating your collection's visibility more granularly for self-expression. Take control over impressions...or invisibility when appropriate!

πŸ‘‹ The long-contentious CEO Bobby Kotick will officially exit Activision Blizzard on December 29th completing Microsoft's $68.7 billion acquisition. We reflect on Kotick's complex legacy leading the scandal-ridden company for 30 years until final fallout. An era ends - rebuilding lies ahead under Xbox.
