REDEMPTION for God of War: Laufey? | GTA is $80 | UE6 Destroys Blueprints | Gamified 165

Two weeks ago this room mostly buried Laufey through Bullish or Bullshit. Is the no-Kratos pivot looking like a win, or is the mindshare just negative sentiment piling up?

What does GTA 6's release actually mean for the games industry? Is it just one company making money, or will this rising tide actually lift all boats and create another industry boom off the back of it’s success?

24 of 25 were Sequels at Summer Games Fest. Red flag or green flag on the industry's reliance on familiar IP: a real problem the industry has to fix, or just how discovery works now?

Every console maker is moving on price at the same time, and the one thing that sidesteps a $1,000 box is streaming. Is Cloud gaming bullish or bullsh1t as a result of this hardware spike?

Is phasing out Blueprints a self-inflicted wound that guts the accessibility that made Unreal dominant, or a necessary modernization for a unified future?

What are the odds Immutable's pivot actually works, that a collapsed Web3 company becomes a real competitor to AppLovin?
