About this site
Brixton Game News is a small independent site. It exists because most coverage of a live multiplayer game is either a launch review that ages badly or a video that takes eleven minutes to say one thing. The pages here are short, they say where a number came from, and they get edited when the game moves rather than left up as a record of last year.
We are not affiliated with any studio or publisher, and nothing on this site is sponsored. Corrections are welcome - if a figure here is out of date, it is worth more to us to fix it than to leave it.
