The inaugural Three Ireland's EStars tournament took place in the 3Arena in Dublin on Sunday, May 13, and well the final showed a lot of potential.
New local reports reveal that Blizzard is planning major layoffs at its office based in Cork, Ireland, affecting 136 jobs.
And? That's part of it. "insider" gaming getting there news from the outside.
Those that were cheering the acquisitions have no idea what they were cheering for. Dumb console war nonsense. They disturbed the entire industry, and they will continue to do what they’re doing to beef up quarterly profits and continue to pretend they did a good thing.
Ah, the Emerald Isle. From the hustle and bustle of Dublin, to the majesty of the Antrim Coast, all the way to the beaches of Donegal, the island of Ireland is seeping with ancient Celtic landmarks, rugged landscapes and a rich culture that everyone must experience at least one in their lives.
I’m fortunate enough to be able to call Ireland home but, like many Irish ex-pats, returning to the homeland right now isn’t possible - a fact that especially stings when you consider it’s Saint Patrick’s Day weekend.
Never really realised that so few games are based in my country, tbh. haha. I suppose Folklore is the only one that I've actually played.
I'm genuinely surprised that no one has ever tried to get attention by making something controversial like Famine Survival Simulator 1845 ... plenty of room for sequels.
A proper story-based game set in the Great Famine along the lines of a game like A Plague Tale: Innocence could actually be very good though.
Are there many games that would take you to Ireland that you couldn't play from the couch? Must have missed the rush of AR games set within the geo-located bounds of Ireland :-p
Well it turns out that the developers behind PS5 game Marvels Spider-Man: Miles Morales are supportive of a United Ireland.
This is news worthy? Like, seriously, I hope you respond to this. You saw this in the game and you decided to write up a piece and put it on a gaming new aggregate site?

I'm an Irish person and a piece of media adopting a United Ireland flag would be considered controversial here. Unionists in the North strongly oppose a United Ireland and anyone with a basic knowledge of Irish history knows about Orange marches, the Troubles, etc.
Knowing jack shit about international politics isn't something to proud of.
Ye haven't a notion lads, especially if you think this isn't controversial.

A good easter egg from Insomniac IMO, although it might be too political for some.
Not sure if its good or not, to some a united ireland is welcomed, to others, its not, i dont think a spiderman game is really the place to voice a view on it 🤷♂️
It's another universe all together, it's not even the main Earth-616's Spider-Man's universe.
Hopefully one day my country will be unified. Don't care about the politics. We are a small country and it's been divided for too long.
