THE FUSE

Good morning! Winter has hit my area of the country hard, and so I write this with cold fingers in a chilly basement office. Will I finally break down and turn on the heat? Stay tuned to find out. Anyway, my frozen digits and I welcome you to another edition of Morning Checkpoint, Kotaku’s daily round-up of video game news and other stuff you might care about. Today we’ve got more layoffs, bad news for some Battlefield 6 players, creepy horror game Horses getting banned from another store, and more.
