Episode 140: Relooted is Another Failure Games Journalists are Propping Up
Friday, 13 February, 2026

Relooted, an African-developed game about black people heisting museums for artifacts to return them to the cultures from which they came, released to a resounding 57 players on Steam. Despite being an utter failure for “modern audiences,” Kotaku and PC Gamer are covering the game as if it’s actually popular. We discuss the situation along with TheGamer’s complaints about Overwatch’s new female hero design, RuneScape going woke, and the delay of the third Horizon game due to a spinoff no one asked for.
