Can you predict better than a leaker? (Nintendo)
The Thursday letters page agrees that Black Ops 6 has too many expert players, as one reader is unsure about Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s art style.

So… lay out your cards, GC. When do you think the Nintendo Switch 2 is going to be unveiled? They’re never going to do it on Halloween, so that’s October out the window. I know some rumours said October/early November, but I’m not sure any of these people know what they’re talking about.
Except, I also bet Nintendo keep changing their mind so maybe they are right, at the time they’re told, and then the plan changes. It’s just so impossible to guess. I agree with the reader who said it’s actually kind of fun trying to make sense of it all and not actually knowing something in gaming, rather than having it all being leaked six months beforehand.
It was particularly weird when someone that was supposed to be a bad source ended up getting something right, which undermines everything again. Not only can you not trust the supposedly reliable leakers but maybe you should trust the ones everyone says are no good!
I’ll almost be disappointed when the thing is actually unveiled, unless they show off a bunch of games at the same time. In which case I’ll be over the moon.

I completely understand what people are complaining about when they talk about Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 having no casual players. People say it must be a problem with the matchmaking but everything else seems to work fine about it. It just seems that suddenly everyone’s a Call Of Duty expert and I am finding it very hard to get anywhere or have much fun.
I can’t explain it but either every ex-COD player in the world suddenly decided to come back for this one or there’s something about the maps that makes them easily exploited by pro players. But even as I type that, that doesn’t sound very convincing.
I have enjoyed the campaign but usually I beat that and then get into the multiplayer for a few months, but it’s just chewing me up and spitting me up every time. Sweaty lobbies, indeed.

A poor workman blames his tools
Going by Hermen Hulst’s email, announcing the closure of those studios, anyone holding out hope that Sony will go back to focusing on single-player narrative games is going to be disappointed.
He clearly said live service is still a key focus for growth, along with probably the most blunt statement that they’re creating games for platforms beyond PlayStation. Sounded a bit like him saying …read more
