How big is the games industry? Bigger than ever, according to games market analytics expert Newzoo, which reports that games industry revenue continues to grow through 2022 and is set to reach a record $203.1 billion USD generated via consumer spending by the end of the year. That number is up from an estimated $192.7 billion generated in 2021. Newzoo says that global player numbers are also on course for a record, with an expected total of 3.09 billion people playing games by the end of this year. This year will be the first time that games market revenue has passed the $200 billion mark. The

The Reddit-led squeeze on GameStop's stock prices has had Wall Street sweating for about a week, and there's already a film on the situation in development. Multiple films, in fact. Reports suggest that both Netflix and MGM are developing movies based on the short squeeze. Whether either of these movies will come out before we either forget about the GameStop talk or begin to endure a total financial apocalypse remains to be seen. MGM has picked up the rights to a book proposal called The Antisocial Network from author Ben Mezrich, as Deadline reports. Mezrich also authored The Accidental Bill

What are the best idle games on PC? There are some interesting connotations that come along with clicker games. Also known as 'idle' or 'incremental' games, the name betrays certain expectations: click your mouse, get a tiny reward, and repeat until you can make the process more efficient and lucrative. In most cases, there's a snowball effect that accompanies your progress that makes your clicks more productive, hence the "incremental" moniker. There are also many games that operate automatically even when you're not playing, which justifies the "idle" nickname. Clicker games manage to distil

Three years ago, I was consumed by – I don’t say this lightly – an addiction to AdVenture Capitalist, one of those clicker aka idle games that briefly ate all our minds. After a few months watching static backdrops generate pretend money when I should have been earning real money, I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror and ejected in self-disgust. I figured the same, eventually, would have been true of anyone who let this outwardly jaunty poison into their veins, and that AdVenture Capitalist’s 2015 boom would have long ago turned to bust. Friends, the virus still l

Free clicker/idle game (i.e. one of those ones where you combine frantic mouse-bashing with long wait times in order to make pretend money values rise ever higher, followed by a bout of absolute self-loathing) AdVenture Capitalist temporarily destroyed my life a couple of years ago. I believe it still claims a right to Pip’s soul even to this day. News that it is to receive a sequel, AdVenture Communist, thus strikes terror into my withered and mirthless heart. I’m immediately intrigued by the implied inversion in its title. Will I be able to resist? …
