I can finally talk about Mass Effect Universe. Since Bioware closed I can now reveal that I was part of the Mass Effect Council, saw what BioWare was building, and provided feedback during development. • Set 600+ years after the Reaper War • You play as a customizable N7 agent • Instead of being a walking gun rack, you're a cross between John Wick and James Bond • Shepard's legacy preserved, regardless of your ending • A galaxy divided into three major factions • Humanity, Krogan, Batarians, and more allied together • Council races forming their own alliance • The Geth emerging as a third superpower • A galactic Cold War instead of another Reaper style invasion with a shadowy adversary • Geth-built megastructures • Connections between the Milky Way and Andromeda • Experimental technology implanted in you as a unique point of difference • Hacking and manipulating the environment • See through walls, identify systems, remotely trigger hazards and more • Handcrafted missions like ME1-3 • But with Hitman-style freedom in how you complete them • Brutal close-range executions • Squadmates who can clash with each other • Romance wasn't being sanitised • Liara returns - now an incredibly powerful Asari Matriarch From what I saw, BioWare was making Mass Effect for us, the fans, not for people who don't exist. It looked incredible. And now we may never get to play it. Find out more here: youtu.be/ZOWrTNazZxM #SaveMassEffect

It's just a guess, but I have to imagine that EA's phone is ringing off the hook. Maybe it's just my timeline, but I've never seen so much outcry over a developer shutdown. There are so many publishers who would benefit from being the ones who saved Mass Effect.
Replying to @G27Status
Publishers need to start putting in bids for their dormant IP

SPY THRILLER MASS EFFECT 🔥😭 Someone needs to save this IP before EA throws it in the vault to rot alongside Dead Space
A BioWare dev on reddit leaked a Mass Effect 5 trailer... it's called MASS EFFECT UNIVERSE and it's fucking gorgeous. I'm crying. This is everything I wanted. They were a lot farther than we thought. FUCK EA

I can't say enough how much I love that CD Projekt Red never misses a meaningful moment to update their games. They truly care and it shows.
Thought you were done with Night City? Well, Night City isn't quite done with you. Patch notes for Cyberpunk 2077’s Edgerunners 2 Update (2.5) are now available for you to ready up and review before going live on the streets tomorrow. Jack in: cp2077.ly/2.5_Patch_Notes

Bethesda should write this dude a check and get him on board instantly if this can be achieved across the entire game.
A software engineer named Frederik Wessberg is creating a PC mod for Starfield that enables seamless landings on planets and moons without any loading screens! The mod will be 100% free and released on Nexus Mods. Frederik says, “You can do it entirely auto-piloted and leave your cockpit seat and walk freely around your ship or enjoy the views while the ship flies from orbit to ground. Or, you can fly manually too. Fly around in low orbit and enjoy the views, or indeed fly uninterrupted to land on the ground.” #Starfield

Celebrated 300 episodes of Defining Duke with my brother this week! LSM community, we love you dearly and appreciate the chance you gave us years ago outside of Sacred Symbols to be part of your lives every week. Xbox community, thanks for welcoming us into the conversation, even when we don't always agree, but all share that love of the platform. Last but never least, Cog. The show is impossible without you and your infectious joy, history with the platform, the occasional pause moment, and nuanced analysis. Onward and upward! 💚

So first off, thank you all for the support. I’m honestly overwhelmed by the kind words from everyone. And a huge thanks to those in the media and within Sony’s studios who have reached out to me with information that they’ve passed up the chain at Sony. I still don’t have access to my account and am waiting for Sony Customer Support to provide me with an update, though they’re certainly taking their sweet time. This all started last night when I randomly received a message saying that my 2FA had been disabled. That immediately startled me, as I personally did not make that change. After multiple attempts to log back in to reset my password and re-enable 2FA, it clearly didn’t work as while I was doing this I was being spammed with emails from Sony customer support advising there were changes being made to my account. Then they managed to change my email address tied to my account and I was finally locked out of my PSN. To be absolutely clear: I am 100% sure that I was not phished, and I did not click on any malicious-looking links or do anything that would knowingly compromise my account. It’s clear that Sony has a serious problem on its hands with the widespread account theft being reported, and this needs to be addressed immediately for everyone who has been affected.
