After months of holding out, Sony has finally announced it will allow cross-platform play on PS4, with a beta test for Fortnite happening today! At bloody last.

As far as Steam Direct games go, Mutation Phase isn't all that bad. At least when compared to most desperate zombie asset flips. This one has headshots, tutorials, a sense of progression... it's like they thought about it for more than five minutes.

Over the past six years, the value of Electronic Arts and Activision Blizzard has skyrocketed to obscene degrees. While game industry executives can laugh it up for the short term, this is actually a pretty bad sign.

The boom comes before the bust, after all, because our system is broken.
