    The Washington Post has a big feature about Twitch’s recent struggles.

    Take the time to read about Nathan Grayson’s big report about troubles at the Amazon-owned streaming platform, which just changed CEOs and is set to lay off “just over” 400 people. (I’d recommend reading Grayson’s Twitter thread about the story, too.)

    Have you ever wanted to play as Amy in classic Sonic games?

    That dream can be a reality with Sonic Origins Plus, an upgraded version of Sonic’s classics collection that was first released last year. And if you want to delve deeper into Sonic’s history, Plus also adds 12 Sonic-themed Game Gear games.

    Sonic Origins Plus launches on June 23rd. If you already own Sonic Origins, you can pay $10 bucks to upgrade to Plus.

    Sonic Origins Plus will make Amy and Knuckles playable in classic Sonic games
