“Playing with Balance: Game Economy Design” Set to Redefine How We Build Game Systems 🎮

March 27, 2026 will see the release of Playing with Balance: Game Economy Design, a major new work by veteran designer Oscar Clark, published by CRC Press. The book is already generating buzz across the industry for its deep, systems‑driven approach to one of game development’s most misunderstood disciplines: economy design.

Clark argues that games are fundamentally different from every other medium because they are built on verbs, not nouns. Players don’t just consume—they act. Every decision, every interaction, every moment of friction or reward feeds into a living system that shapes how players feel, behave, and stay engaged.

ROG Cetra Open Wireless Gaming Earbuds Review By Britt 🎧 @ASUS_ROGUK

It’s the first time I’ve ever said it on the digital pages of this website, but...I’m in love. I’m in love with the ROG Cetra Open Wireless Earbuds. 

I’ve covered a fair few earbuds; in-ear, over-ear, noise-cancelling, wired, wireless, cupped...and all have had their pros, some becoming my go-to for months or even years, but never before have I been so smitten as with these bad boys. 

Designed for gaming, I’ve used them for various reasons, from gaming through to podcasts in work through to ASMR / relaxation ‘tapes’ in bed and even for listening to mixes of my own upcoming album. 

With incredible comfort, battery life, style, and robustness – the only downside that I found was that, being open-ear – they aren’t particularly practical in windy areas (I live by the sea), although they do handle things surprisingly well in areas of general noise such as offices, city streets and the like. As I said. I love them.
