So what is happening?In a nutshell, more companies are producing Star Wars games besides EA and Ubisoft which already announced that it would be creating a new Star Wars game. This game will be a free-to-play game that will be debuting on Nintendo platforms this year. What are my thoughts on this?I do like this move by Disney, for one because it shows their willingness to work with other companies to produce Star Wars games. The benefit of this transition is shown by the fact that EA was not making too many new games for EA however they mostly made sequels to older games such s the Battlefront series. Since there will be more companies creating Star Wars games now, the games will likely improve in their quality. In addition, the games will likely be more varied which would mean more types of games. For example, this new game is an arena battle game which means players will be able to play as a character on a unique world. Overall, I do like this, as it shows that Disney is willing to create a product that more people will buy and is better in quality. In short

The news firstFor the first time in at least eight years, EA will make a college football video game, which has been demanded by fans for a long time. The community has made several mods to replace the popular video game such as College Football revamped, a mod that updates the uniforms of the teams and creates new looks for the teams, providing a much needed facelift for the eight year old game. Another important thing to note - even though the game has been announced, it is likely not coming until 2022 or 2023, as the release date has not even been announced yet. Finally, it is said that more than 100 teams will be available, which would be the vast majority of FBS (Football Bowl Subdivision) teams. My thoughtsThe creation of a new NCAA football game is something that has been a subject of clickbait videos on the internet, but with it finally returning, there can be some actual speculation as to what will be in it, such as Teambuilder mode and Road to Glory, both popular items on the old NCAA football games. I am looking forward to this game because it is a brand new college football game however I am a bit skeptical since it is being created by Electronic Arts, who I have covered on this blog many times before. One reason why I am looking forward to this game is simply because it will mean that we can get a college football game for cheap and not have to spend hundreds of dollars on it from online scalpers. However, EA does include many microtransactions and many features may be locked behind a paywall, which can be frustrating. Overall, I feel very good about this news despite some drawbacks. In summary
