It's disgusting that they claim to care about Dragon Age Dreadwolf's quality in the same breath as laying off 20-year veteran devs. It's pure cost-cutting and the blog post isn't shy about that.

The Bioware studio I fell in love with was hollowed out years ago. It's just a generic EA brand at this point. I still feel terrible for those left behind and hope their talents are noticed so they can find meaningful work again quickly.

I can't articulate everything this is making me feel. Been following the crew since 2009 and can see I'm definitely not alone in how positive GB has been in my life, and I wouldn't be where I was today without their warm influence. I literally grew up watching and listening to the Bomb Crew and many of you have been role models for me. Brad and Vinny, you were always the members I related to the most.

To Vinny, Brad, Alex, and everyone else who has been a part of this site -- thank you. I wish you all the best. Looking forward to what GB and its longtime pillars will do next.

This seems like a loss for (legal) game preservation, especially as PSP parts availability declines and repairing old systems will be harder. At least there are still cheap Chinese batteries on eBay.

That said, I've since migrated over to playing emulated backups of games I already own, upscaled on my TV in 1080p, using Steam Link, with a Switch Pro Controller. :P

I didn't pick mine up until one of the big sales, but I still use mine occasionally with no issues. Recently I've been playing Bastion and AC Origins. I do have a wired network at home so that probably helps a lot with latency and stability.

Really, the only trouble I've had is setting it up to work with the Switch Pro Controller, probably because it wasn't designed to be used as a third-party peripheral on PC. It also uses the Japanese layout (Nintendo [A] and Playstation [O] are used for Confirm and have the same placement) but I was pleased to see that Steam has a setting to work with that.

Very likely a temporary exclusive. More like an exclusive launch. I find it unlikely that Eidos would pass up sales on other platforms in the long term.

I got my money's worth from OnLive's subscription service (latency issues aside) so this is a pretty good idea that should net them some revenue.

Thanks to Ryan's advice on the Bombcast I always "wipe front to back, never back to front."

@angus_lafroy: Could I get an invite to the Giant Bomb group?

I know I speak for everyone when I say I miss you, Ryan. The Bomb Squad has worked admirably to keep everything fun and fresh, but it's still not the same without you.

My only interaction with him was a quick question/answer about the Bombcast (he really did read every e-mail, like he said) but he and the squad made my life a lot happier than it would have been otherwise.
