Hello hello,

Welcome to the latest edition of The Debrief, in which I tackle three big stories in games in rapid fashion to get you across some of the most interesting stories from the past month.

As per usual, I’ll be serving up those three stories alongside the Insider track, where I give paid subscribers extra access to me, VGIM deals and perks offered by friends of the community - including access to a private event about a regulatory topic close to plenty of the industry’s hearts.

If you want to read below the paywall, remember that it costs just £50 per year - the equivalent of one major game release - to get all this exclusive insight and access.

Grab your subscription using the button below.

For now though, let’s dive into The Debrief.

P.S. This piece was written last week before I took some downtime, so please bear with me if events have superseded any of these write ups.
