sony cutting off all brick and mortar stores from selling digital codes for full games (but not DLC or season passes) seems like a heavyhanded move. You'll only be able to buy games through PSN.

EA recently laid off around 4% of its workforce according to a report from Kotaku.
Around 350 people were laid off and the official reason given was their past fiscal quarter "did not perform to [its] expectations." Also shut down several offices and put a freeze on new hirings. Quote:

EA is not folding. They’ve still made ridiculous numbers. They just haven’t met their absurdly unrealistic expectations.
And no matter how bad stuff like Anthem or Battlefield does, as long as they have FIFA, they’re fine. |

Speaking of Anthem, supposedly the game made around $100 million since its launch but its on track to do well below EA's game sales expectations. EA wanted 6 million copies sold in 6 weeks and instead its around 1.6 million with about 2 weeks left.

A new game in the Legend of Zelda series is currently in development based on recent job postings from Monolith Soft, developer of the Xenoblade Chronicles series.
Wouldn't be the first time they've worked on Zelda games but only in a supporting role and not main dev role. Quote:

Seems Valve ditched their partnership with HTC and will be releasing their own VR headset this June. Also was confirmed to not simply be an April Fools gag by Valve.

For those interested, Sony finally added the ability to change user names on PSN starting today although it does come with a few big warnings.
Similar to Microsoft, the first change is free and afterwards its $10 per name change. PS+ members only have to pay $5 for additional name changes. Quote:
