Black Flag Resynced is halfway between a remake and a remaster of 2013's Assassin's Creed 4 . It's less of an almost-RPG than Ubisoft's more modern Assassin's Creed games; more action-heavy than the Ezio games and Mirage . It falls just about in the perfect spot between balancing stealth and more direct approaches. Black Flag Resynced functions much like any other Assassin's Creed game. You take on missions, sneak your way to the objective (or blow your cover and find a more violent path), and then do some selective murder to get what you came for. In between all that is an abundance of collectibles to track down, if you're so inclined. In Black Flag and Black Flag Resynced , all this takes place during the Golden Age of Piracy in the Caribbean Sea. source https://www.polygon.com/assassins-creed-black-fl...

When Sony announced it would cease making physical PlayStation games in 2028 , it seemed like the end of an era. It isn't. Polygon spoke with Circana senior director and video game industry advisor Mat Piscatella over email about the timing of Sony's decision and what prompted the company to focus so heavily on digital media. And a more accurate framing of the development is that it continues trends that have shaped the games industry for nearly a decade now, pushing Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo further into their respective niches for better or worse. source https://www.polygon.com/playstation-all-digital-games-industry-future/

Jason Statham has one specific character that occupies an interesting point along the evolutionary path of action heroes. He's at the middle of a spectrum between that one guy Jackie Chan always plays, who is incredibly dangerous for someone who doesn't want trouble, and the borderline psychopaths of the '80s like Marion Cobretti . source https://www.polygon.com/transporter-3-jason-statham-free-streaming/

One of the biggest criticisms Magic: The Gathering fans have regarding Secret Lair is that the limited print run of its drops makes it very hard to buy a product before scalpers stock up and start reselling it at much higher prices. This won't be an issue for the latest drop: Their Magic Is Limitless will be printed to demand and available for two weeks, July 20–Aug. 3. source https://www.polygon.com/their-magic-is-limitless-secret-lair-print-to-demand-charity/

Xbox as we know it is about to look very different, CEO Asha Sharma announced Monday in a publicly distributed memo detailing the company’s new plans. 3,200 layoffs. Four (maybe five) studio divestments. Sweeping changes to management structures. And broad implications about how Xbox will approach its business over the next 12 months. source https://www.polygon.com/xbox-restructure-game-pass-changes/
