Plenty of interesting news (linked below) this week. I feel like the gap left behind in the normal post-E3 cycle has been replaced with... whatever we have now. The Steam Summer Sale is over, but now the PlayStation summer sale is on, so prep your credit cards. And maybe significantly, Microsoft look likely to finally acquire ActiBlizz, and Blizz games appear to be coming to Steam. Hopefully they patch in Deck support for Battle.net accounts.
