Kyle Vallee, creative director for EverQuest 2, is a huge fan of MMOs and has played basically all of them—but he thinks the genre has lost its way in one respect. The sense of community early MMOs cultivated is being sidelined, he says.
Joe Tung, CEO and co-founder of developer Theorycraft Games, started out his career in games as the lead producer on Halo 3 before moving on to be executive producer on Halo: Reach and Destiny at Bungie. In an interview with PC Gamer promoting his new MOBA-like battle royale game Supervive, Tung said that during his time at Bungie he had to make decisions that «were not in the best interest of players» and that a lot of E3 demos at the time (though not necessarily Bungie's) showed off «bullshit vaporware.» The problem, he thinks, is the whole «boxed product model.»

Lara Croft, the OG tomb raider, is coming to the game in July, and is playable right now via a public test build on Steam.
Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree has drawn some criticism for being too hard—spinning up the FromSoftware design discourse anew two entire years after the base game's release. Its flavour feels different this time around, though, since even supposed souls superfans have been antsy about it, earning it a «mixed» user review score on Steam at the time of writing.
