I saw a video on spawnwave that talked today about what games people are enjoying in 2026 right now. And the different reactions of different social media/sites.

I personally am loving Wild Blue Skie s. Its just starfox. Thats what I want to play!
BALL x PIT is a whole lot of fun. I didn’t think it would be but it keeps getting better and better. I also liked FTL back in the day so I picked up Void War . Its like warhammer + FTL and its fantastic.

EDIT: You all are great! Keep them coming! So many games (video games and otherwise) in this list!

    I’m curious what more proof you’re looking for? It’s all in that Wikipedia article. Here is at least one proof, directly quoted from that very article:

    She also voiced opposition to the Scottish Gender Recognition Reform Bill, aimed at allowing transgender people to change their legal gender more easily and subsequently she donated £70,000 to the legal challenge brought by For Women Scotland against the Scottish Ministers in the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom, which on 16 April 2025 ruled that the legal definition of a woman in the Equality Act 2010 is based on biological sex.

    If that isn’t enough proof for you, then you’re in denial my friend. I was also deeply saddened and hurt when I learnt my beloved childhood series author became hateful and is for some reason trying to emulate Voldemort. I grew up with those books, they were important to me. But I chose to leave them behind and prioritise my personal morals.

    Again, it’s your own decision whether supporting that publisher and developer is more important to you than supporting Rowling.

    developed by Avalanche Software and published by Warner Bros. Games

    Personally, I don’t recognise or feel particularly fondly towards that developer, and Warner Bros would hardly notice your support.

      Assuming the Wikipedia article is correct. That is not proof that MY money goes there. She would have payed it without me buying the game anyway. I don’t care about her political stance and acts. It’s also a topic that does not affect me, so I do not have any feelings. Every company does something bad, should we never buy games again, because a producer did something stupid or the parent company getting money does something stupid? She is not involved in the games I buy and play, then I buy and play those games. I don’t care about her opinion.

      I don’t know how to make that more clear.

      and Warner Bros would hardly notice your support.

      Ah yes, selective facts. Why does Warner Bros doesn’t notice my support, but the one person you are against it does? In fact, royalties are just a little sum, compared to the entire costs.
