RuneScape was becoming one of the most heavily monetised games of its kind. Then, last year, Jagex announced they were gutting almost all of the dark patterns at play, replacing them with... nothing? Today, to no surprise, profit is down. Will they hold their nerve?

Xbox didn't kill Double Fine. All they did was leave them to fend for themselves with limited resources and no support. Very different.
Even for genAI work, this is some top-grade slop... yet Epic's Tim Sweeney is proposing it's the future of Fortnite? Really?!
For 24 hours, Xbox players couldn't access their purchased games, and it turns out it was all Microsoft's fault.
