Games Industry Executive Summary - A podcast by Mighty Diamonds - Fridays

In this episode, we dive into the latest gaming news and trends. Casey is joined by Manu this week to explore why the Borderlands movie could be 2024's biggest box office flop despite the success of other video game adaptations. We'll discuss Steam's new 'Trending Free' tab in response to concerns about free demos, and highlight the latest Five Nights at Freddy's game, which is being hailed as the best in the series. We'll also cover Fallout London developers planning to launch their own indie games studio, the ambitious new features in Flight Simulator 2024, and Tango Gameworks' acquisition by Krafton Inc. Plus, we'll touch on the enduring legacy of P.T., rumors of Black Ops 6 cutscenes leaking, and impressive numbers from Valve's unannounced game Deadlock.
