Microsoft’s latest round of gaming layoffs has reportedly gutted id Software, drastically reducing the legendary studio behind DOOM and Quake—and co-founder John Carmack admits his prediction that Microsoft would be a good steward of the company isn’t aging particularly well.

We’re also covering Commodore’s surprisingly successful Callback phone, Atari’s new Centipede Swarm for Amazon Luna, four new Game Boy and Game Boy Advance additions to Nintendo Switch Online, and Valve’s simple official fix for the Steam Machine’s dreaded “Red Line of Death.” Which story surprised you the most?
