The outlet TheGamer recently published an analysis that reveals a worrying trend for the current “GaaS” (Games as a Service) business model: more than half of the major titles released under this model during 2025 have already lost over 90% of their player base on Steam just a few months after launch.

Hi, my name is Ange77us. You may remember me from films such as “I Also Thought This Was Going to Work”, and “You Really Have to Have Some Serious Guts to Proclaim Yourself the Spiritual Successor to an Iconic Saga”… About a year ago, I talked right here about Code Violet, an action game developed by TeamKill Media that was announced as a “spiritual successor” to none other than Dino Crisis!

Ange77us — Tue, 30 Dec 2025 08:30:09 +0000

This is a reality, and perhaps the only fact we can consider official out of all this information: BioShock 4 has been in development for years, and it has even gone through numerous reboots since its first announcement. This year, 2K announced that Rod Fergusson, the “closer” who successfully concluded the development of BioShock Infinite (2013), would return to the saga to lead the project.

The year is not over yet, and in the middle of the commotion left behind by all the announcements from The Game Awards 2025, we keep discovering little gems that will be well worth keeping an eye on. And from my humble point of view, this is exactly one of those cases. I’m talking about the first game from the newly formed Harebrained Studio, which in reality is not indie at all, not even close…

Light Of Motiram Was Removed From Stores!

Ange77us — Fri, 19 Dec 2025 07:57:12 +0000

Just a few months ago, back at the beginning of 2025, the “new” game Light of Motiram was announced. Reactions to its reveal divided fans: on one side were those who liked its proposal and found nothing wrong or particularly striking about it, and on the other side were those who, like me, found countless similarities with Sony and Guerrilla Games’ iconic franchise, Horizon…

Replaced – Release Confirmed For March 12!

Ange77us — Fri, 05 Dec 2025 08:00:30 +0000

During the last few years, we have all seen announcement after announcement for projects that, after some time, have turned into something like an urban legend in the video game world. Even more so when it comes to indie titles, since these usually have smaller budgets and teams made up of far fewer people than AAA games, or even in some cases, they are developed by a single person.
