During parental leave, I set myself the goal of rebranding and relaunching my newsletter. Yesterday, I finally did that.
Welcome to Every Game a Playground: exploring creation within communities and their favourite games.

It's time to honor Toledo's fallen. Light up the night sky and offer remembrances for the Raiders that came before.

Just an absolute gut-punch.
Unsurprising given EA’s business direction, but it’s one of those things where you wish that maybe - MAYBE - someone high-up stood and said, “are you fucking crazy?”

With the dust settling on Frozen Trail’s launch, figured I should finally update my bio.
Last month I joined @EmbarkStudios to lead the long-term vision for creators across the studio, @arcraidersgame, and @reachthefinals.
It’s been an awesome first month settling in among some very talented and ambitious people. Still a lot of cool stuff I want to try in the creator space, and here feels like the perfect home to do just that.
Off to the kitchen… We got some cookin to do 👨🍳
Attention, Raiders! Our biggest update yet, Frozen Trail, is live!
Explore the icy wasteland of Pendola Pass, face lethal new enemies including the enormous ARC Frigate, and gear up with new weapons and Amplified oldies. Establish your Outpost, master the revamped Skill Tree, and tackle 22 new quests.
Itching to step Topside for the first time? Hop in and play ARC Raiders completely FREE from October 8 to October 12 on Steam, Xbox, and PlayStation!

As confirmed earlier through our official channels, in mid-June of this year, we unexpectedly received notice from PlayStation Studios that they would cancel the PHYSINT project. PHYSINT is an important project both to me personally and to KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS. Determined to keep the project alive, we have spent the last three months searching tirelessly for a new partner. In the course of seeking advice and pursuing negotiations with people across many fields, we found in XBOX a partner with whom we share a common vision for the future, and we have decided to team up with them once again. Please rest assured that development of PHYSINT, our genre-defining action-espionage title, is ongoing and will continue moving forward.
Creators: Don’t be shocked if brands start offering lower CPM rates as these changes kick in and your views go up.
Make sure to track your new average 7-30 Day views and do the math on whether you’re still getting a fair deal.
YouTube will count views from the first frame across all formats starting on August 24, 2026.
ALT Last year, we updated how we count public views for Shorts to better capture how viewers watch on YouTube. Now, we’re aligning all other video formats to this same standard for consistency across the platform. Beginning on 8/24/2026, a view will be counted the moment a video begins to play—from the very first frame. This standard will now apply globally across all formats. Historically, we’ve used multiple view counting systems across different formats. However, we’ve heard that creators want to eliminate this metric confusion and accurately understand their true exposure, which is why we’re making this update!

FIFA to investigate Argentina as they make another Falklands gesture by having no shots on target.
What a beautiful end to an absolutely noxious tournament! Stoked to be in this country for such a glorious moment
When the devil himself calls you out…
Red cards are not overturned by political phone calls. They are overturned by rules, evidence and independent bodies. If a U.S. President intervenes with the FIFA President — and a player is suddenly cleared before a World Cup knockout match — the question is unavoidable: Quo vadis, FIFA?
Football must never become a playground for political power. #FIFA #WorldCup #GianniInfantino #DonaldTrump
