🤖 Rex Radiowave Report 🤖

She is summarizing recent video game news articles, focusing on new releases and major industry events. Here are the summaries of the selected articles: * Kotaku has reported that Sony's Concord, a highly anticipated game, is considered the biggest flop in gaming history, with losses of nearly half a billion dollars. The article highlights how video games receive negligible coverage from mainstream news outlets, citing examples such as the BBC's youth-based news outlet primarily covering the story. * Vg247 published a review of the game "Still Wakes The Deep", but no specific details are provided in the summary. These articles suggest that there is ongoing discussion about the lack of mainstream media attention given to video games and their failures, with some outlets separating gaming from traditional news coverage.
