Ross Scott Ends His Stop Killing Games Campaign June 23, 2025
Posted by Maniac in Game News.add a comment
Ladies and gentlemen, Ross Scott.
This is a truly upsetting outcome for a campaign many gamers are seeing as our last and only hope to protect us from the gaming industry’s push for more anti-consumer policies. Ross clearly had pure intentions with his campaign, but he believed he lacked the audience to get his message to the widest masses. Still, I will be looking forward to his next project.

Happy Free RPG Day 2025! Never forget that many of the video games we’ve been playing over the past 35 years were originally based upon rules that were created for gamers to play on tabletops worldwide with just pen, paper, some dice and their imaginations. Today, select local hobby shops across the US are going to have sample RPG sourcebooks for curious new customers. Some may even have exclusive events and promotions taking place as well.
If you’d like to see what is going on in your area, check out the event’s official website! Have fun!

One of the best games that caught my eye was during this year’s Summer Games Fest was the independent game MIXTAPE. Set in the time of the 90s, it follows several people who are planning the next step of their lives.
Shortly after Summer Games Fest wrapped, the game’s developer posted this brief look behind the scenes of the game. It’s not very in depth, but it does do a good job to show just what kind of people are making this game.
MIXTAPE is coming “soon” to PS5, PC and Xbox Series X/S.

The guys over at Remedy have just released the next game in the Control universe, a multiplayer spin off called FBC Firebreak!
If you’re familiar with the events of Control, you’d know that it ended with the FBC still under lockdown but fully under the command of its new Director. Now it is six years later, The Hiss are still in the building, and the lockdown has not been lifted. So what do you say we watch this orientation video, shall we?
FBC Firebreak is out now for PC, Xbox Series X/S and PS5.
Squid Research Report for Nintendo Switch 2 June 10, 2025

Nintendo just released this trailer for what looks like a brand-new game set in the Splatoon universe, and it has a giant NINTENDO SWITCH 2 logo attached to it!
Splatoon was without a doubt my favorite multiplayer game of the Wii U’s generation, and I felt that Splatoon 2 was an improvement on the first in nearly every way when it launched on the original Switch. I was very surprised to see that no Splatoon game was announced alongside the Switch 2 reveal, but I was willing to give Nintendo the benefit of the doubt that they would likely have one coming to the platform eventually. Now, it looks like that faith may have paid off!
