Welcome to the latest edition of The Debrief,

As last week’s VGIM mentioned, this one landed a little later than usual. I was knee-deep in book writing, and I needed an extra couple of days to finish, so thank you for your patience.

If you want to read The Debrief and get my handy summary of everything you need to know from the past month of games, you can do so by becoming a paid VGIM Insider below.


Video Games Industry Memo is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.
