Zombie knife ban won’t solve crisis – but there is hope, says Idris Elba
Banning the sale of zombie knives is a positive step, but schools need to intervene earlier to help tackle the UK’s knife crime crisis, says Idris Elba.
The actor, 52, has spent the last year making a documentary for the BBC about solutions to knife crime, during which he met victims’ families, police officers and teenage offenders.
In addition to early intervention, he told the BBC that ninja swords should be banned and even suggested domestic knives could be made less dangerous.
“Not all kitchen knives need to have a point on them, that sounds like a crazy thing to say,” he adds, “but you can still cut your food without the point on your knife, which is an innovative way to look at it.”
A total of 507 children were treated in English hospitals for knife injuries in the 12 months to April 2024, according to the latest figures analysed by the Youth Endowment Fund (YEF).
“I’ve got three kids,” says Elba. “As a parent, that’s always going through your mind.”
In the documentary, called Idris Elba: Our Knife Crime Crisis, the Hollywood star meets a 17-year-old boy at Feltham young offender institution who first began carrying a blade when he was 13.
He grew up in a violent home and had been badly bullied at school for having dandruff.
“I looked around and saw that the only people who ain’t getting bullied are the people who are this certain way,” the teenager tells Elba, “so I felt the need to become that person.”
In the wake of recent violence involving zombie knives, many have called for a ban on these dangerous weapons. However, according to actor and activist Idris Elba, simply banning these knives will not solve the underlying crisis.In a recent statement, Elba emphasized the need for a comprehensive approach to addressing the root causes of violence, rather than just focusing on one type of weapon. He stressed the importance of investing in education, mental health services, and community programs that can help prevent violence before it starts.
While a ban on zombie knives may be a step in the right direction, Elba believes that real change will only come from addressing the deeper issues that lead to violence in the first place. By coming together as a community and working towards solutions that address the root causes of violence, there is hope for a safer and more peaceful future.
Let’s listen to Idris Elba’s wise words and work towards a more holistic approach to addressing violence in our communities. Together, we can create a brighter future for all.

Atlanta Falcons’ Rising Star: Michael Penix Jr.
In his recent debut as a starter for the Atlanta Falcons, Michael Penix Jr. showcased remarkable potential, drawing admiration from former head coach Mike Smith. Smith, a seasoned figure in the football realm, commended Penix for his leadership qualities and impressive arm strength, which became evident during his three-game stint to close the regular season.
Penix’s performance, stepping in for the established Kirk Cousins, was nothing short of promising. Throughout his starts, he exhibited a completion rate of 58%, accumulating 737 passing yards, three touchdowns, three interceptions, and a rushing score. This display of skill and composure under pressure solidified the belief that Penix, the eighth overall draft pick in 2024, could be the long-awaited answer to the Falcons’ quarterback conundrum.
Raheem Morris’ Optimism for the Future
Looking ahead, Falcons head coach Raheem Morris expressed his enthusiasm for what Penix can bring to the team in the upcoming seasons. Morris’s confidence in Penix’s ability to lead the offense reflects a strategic shift in the Falcons’ quarterback landscape, hinting at a potential changing of the guard.
As the Falcons contemplate their next moves regarding Cousins, options abound, from trading or releasing him to retaining him as a backup. However, with Penix poised to take the reins in 2025, the organization seems committed to nurturing his talent and fostering a new era of Falcons football.
Mike Smith’s Insightful Perspective
Drawing from his coaching tenure with the Falcons, Smith brings a unique perspective to the discussion surrounding Penix’s emergence. Having been instrumental in drafting franchise quarterback Matt Ryan in 2008, Smith understands the significance of identifying and developing young quarterback talent.
Smith’s vote of confidence in Penix as the future face of the Falcons’ offense underscores the belief that, despite current challenges such as salary cap constraints and dead money issues, Atlanta is on the right path towards revitalizing its team dynamics. The endorsement from a seasoned coach like Smith serves as a testament to Penix’s potential to steer the Falcons towards a brighter future on the gridiron.
In conclusion, Michael Penix Jr.’s meteoric rise in the Atlanta Falcons’ ranks symbolizes a beacon of hope for the franchise and its loyal fan base. With supportive figures like Raheem Morris and Mike Smith backing his journey, Penix stands poised to usher in a new era of success and resilience for the Falcons, marking a promising chapter in the team’s storied history.
The Atlanta Falcons may have found their future star in rookie quarterback Michael Penix Jr. The young sensation has already caught the eye of former coach Mike Smith, who has praised Penix’s talent and potential to lead the team to success.Smith, who coached the Falcons from 2008 to 2014, recently spoke highly of Penix’s abilities, saying, “Michael Penix Jr. is a special talent and has the potential to be a game-changer for the Falcons. His athleticism, arm strength, and football IQ make him a unique talent that can take this team to new heights.”
Penix, who was drafted by the Falcons in the third round of this year’s NFL draft, has already shown flashes of brilliance in training camp and preseason games. His ability to read defenses, make quick decisions, and deliver pinpoint passes has impressed coaches and teammates alike.
With Penix at the helm, the Falcons have a promising future ahead. His dynamic playmaking ability and leadership qualities have sparked hope for a resurgence in the franchise’s fortunes. Fans are eagerly anticipating what the young quarterback can bring to the team and are excited about the potential for success in the upcoming season.
As the Falcons prepare for a new era under Penix’s leadership, there is a sense of optimism and excitement surrounding the team. With the support of former coach Mike Smith and a talented roster around him, Penix has the opportunity to make a lasting impact on the franchise and lead them to glory once again.

People in Israel and across the world have pledged to wear orange on Wednesday, in homage to the hair color of the last two young children still held hostage in Gaza.
“Orange Day,” in honor of Kfir and Ariel Bibas and their parents, Shiri and Yarden, is just the latest activist initiative to keep the world’s eyes on the family of four, who were taken captive on Oct. 7, 2023, and have become symbols of the hostages’ plight.
Graffiti of the family — including one piece in Tel Aviv showing the older brother pushing a stroller with the words, “Ariel will never be the same again” — has appeared all over Israel’s streets. Fueled by the passion of mothers who too easily can see their own children in Kfir and Ariel, posts about them routinely go viral on social media around the world. They have inspired art, songs, prayers and even, briefly, a fruitless digital detective hunt after a video showing two red-haired boys among a crowd of Gazan children circulated last summer.
The family’s symbolism has endured even as reasons for optimism have dwindled. Still, Israelis and their most prominent spokespeople have proceeded with the hope that the Bibases are alive. Itamar Lippner, a Tel Aviv attorney, might have been speaking for an entire nation when he posted on social media this week, “All the signs point to bad news.”
Then he added, “Of course, I keep on praying that all the signs are wrong.”

(credit: MIRIAM ALSTER/FLASH90) The Israeli government seems to be priming the public for tragedy. There’s no indication that officials have insisted on their release during the first weeks of the current ceasefire, even as others have gone free. A delay in the release of another civilian, Arbel Yehud, threatened to derail the ceasefire and led Israel to clamp down on Palestinian civilians in Gaza. Israel has made no such ultimatums around the Bibas family.
Last week, in one of the most direct official Israeli comments on the family’s state, IDF Spokesman Daniel Hagari expressed “grave concerns for their fate.” This week, Israel received word that of the 26 hostages yet to be released in the ceasefire’s first phase, 18 are alive and eight are dead.
“The information we received is not good,” Shiri’s cousin Jimmy Miller, who has acted as a family spokesperson, said on Tuesday. “The army is afraid about the state in which they will be returned, but nothing is proven yet.”
Like Miller, Jews around the world are facing down the cruel question of which group the Bibas family is in — and in many cases wishing away signs that the answer will be crushing.
“I’ve consistently chosen to believe that the news will be good,” said Hemdat Beck, a nonprofit worker from Tel Aviv. “Of course, there have been moments of despair and breakdowns, but even when my friends mentioned rumors coming from Hamas [about hostages who were killed], I said it was a lie, that it wasn’t true. If it were truly true, there would have been an official announcement by now, and since there hasn’t been any at any point, I choose to believe this is not their fate.”
More than any other hostage, the Bibases have come to represent not only the struggle to free the captives but, in the eyes of Israel’s supporters around the world, the justice of their cause following the tragedy of Hamas’ massacre. The family has, in turn, become a conduit for the torrent of Jewish and Israeli emotions that flowed from Oct. 7 and its aftermath — as if carrying the pain, grief and resilience that have characterized 16 months of efforts to free the hostages.
The faces of the Bibas family were burned into the consciousnesses of many beginning on Oct. 7, when footage spread of a terrified Shiri clutching the two young boys as they were abducted to Gaza. It was an early and raw image of the day’s atrocities.
Since then, photos of the young family have become some of the most recognizable pictures of the hostages: a photo of Kfir Bibas, taken captive at 9 months old, smiling; a shot of the family in matching Batman pajamas; another of Shiri hugging her children in happier times.
Hostage rallies around the world have centered on fragments of the Bibas family’s life: 11 days ago, gatherings around the world marked Kfir’s second birthday. People have shown up at rallies for the hostages in Batman costumes — an homage to the photo.
“I get messages all the time from people — mainly women — saying, ‘I’m not sleeping, if they don’t get out alive I don’t think I’ll ever get over this,’” said Jonny Daniels, a pro-Israel influencer who said his posts about the Bibases routinely get the most engagement by a wide margin. “If you ask anyone in the world to identify the Israeli hostages, most will tell you the ginger children.”
All of the other children abducted to Gaza have long been home. In November 2023, during the first ceasefire in the war, Hamas released dozens of children among more than 100 total hostages who went free.
The Bibas brothers were not among them. That week, Hamas announced that Shiri and the boys had been killed, releasing a torturous video of Yarden, who was abducted separately, after he had received that news.
At the time, Israel said it could not confirm Hamas’ allegation, accusing the terror group of psychological warfare. No further information emerged in the ensuing 15 months, even as the fates of many other hostages — both living and dead — were confirmed publicly by the government.
The Bibas’ relatives have continued to reject suggestions that the family is dead. In June, the family criticized former Defense Minister Benny Gantz for telling Israel’s public broadcaster that he believed Israel knew the fate of the Bibases, and that the public would hear “when the time is ripe.”
And on Monday, they released a statement, once again urging the public to refrain from sharing unverified information even as Israeli officials said they had informed the families of the eight hostages believed to be dead about their status.
“Since October 7th, when the video of the cruel abduction was published, we have been living in fear and anxiety for their fate every minute of every day,” the statement reads. “We ask you to respect Shiri, Yarden, Ariel, and Kfir, as well as the entire family, and refrain from spreading rumors or speculations that unsettle us.”
‘Trying not to drown in a sea of rumors’
Eli Bibas, the children’s grandfather, recently addressed a crowd at Hostages Square in Tel Aviv saying that he was “trying not to drown in a sea of rumors, the news, the half truths and lies around the negotiations.”
A few family members have been sounding notes of despair. On the occasion of Kfir’s second birthday, Shiri’s cousin Jimmy said, “We won’t do anything special because the situation is very strange. We know nothing about them.”
As talk turns to reconstruction of Gaza, a grim possibility has begun to be discussed openly — that some Israeli hostages may never be found. David Barnea, the head of the Mossad intelligence agency, reportedly told hostage families this week that bodies of hostages that lie under the rubble may be destroyed if bulldozers are used to clear the territory.
The uncertainty around the Bibas family feels frustrating to some Israelis. Lippner said Israeli press outlets often “dance around the subject.”
Channel 12 came under fire for originally mentioning the “women” hostages to be released during the ceasefire, leaving out the word “children.” After a backlash, the channel added the word into its coverage.
Some say they understand why it might be appealing to extend hope in a traumatized country.
“I want to believe that if there were even a shred of hope that they were alive, everything possible would have been done to save them,” said Avigail Harel, an Israeli nonprofit worker. “Sadly, I think the state has evidence that they have not been alive for a long time, but does not want to publicize or discuss it too much because they know it would become a national trauma.”
Beck was among those who explain their optimism by noting that Hamas said Hanna Katsir was dead, only to release her alive days later. A Hamas announcement in 2023 also seemed to suggest Daniella Gilboa was dead; she walked across a stage in Gaza last week before her release.
Beck said that in light of how invested many have become in the Bibas’ fate, Hamas may view the family as a valuable bargaining chip.
“It really feels with the Bibases like last-minute fake rumors meant to inflame,” she said. “I think they have a very strong interest in keeping them alive. Unless, God forbid, they were killed by our own forces over time, I want to believe in the good.”
Recently, as people understand that firmer news about the Bibas family is imminent because of the ceasefire, social media has erupted anew with posts about the family. Ms. Rachel, the toddler video superstar who drew criticism from some supporters of Israel for raising money for children in Gaza last year, posted Kfir’s photo on his birthday, wishing “that Kfir, his brother Ariel, and his parents, Yarden and Shiri, come home.”
Tablet magazine recently posted a stylized illustration of Shiri and the boys against the backdrop of masked Hamas gunmen. Rabbi Evan Schultz posted a poem imagining the family as a “great big orange tree,” adding that if they die, “know we all loved you and will visit your tree regularly watering it with tears and fragile ribbons of hope.” And hundreds of people pledged on social media to don orange on Wednesday.
Daniels described hearing from parents in the United States who were distraught after catching their 5-year-old packing a backpack “to go and get Ariel and Kfir.” He said the extent of emotional investment in the family worries him — especially if it emerges that the worst came to pass.
“Their story has impacted people on a level that is kind of indescribable,” he said. “I’m reminding people that this is a very difficult time, but there has to be a separation between you and them. You’re not their family.”
He added, “I’m thoroughly concerned about what happens when they do come out and how they come out. If it doesn’t end with what we all hope for, I don’t know how people’s mental health is going to be, and this is wide-scale. I’m talking about individuals everywhere. This isn’t just an Israeli issue — this is a strong international issue.”
Daniels’ partner, Danielle Katz, is a psychiatrist in private practice in the United States. She said she frequently encounters women who are deeply invested in the Bibas family’s story. The women, she noted, are typically middle-aged, affluent and white.
“These are the most involved, the most consumed and the most concerned by it all,” Katz said. “Add on top of that that these are also Jewish mothers, you have the perfect recipe for people who are completely distraught.”
While attention to the Bibases comes from a deep sense of caring, she said, she has also heard darker and more complicated themes.
“I hear from clients all the time: It’s almost a survivor’s guilt of being over here. … People feel like being involved and being angry and being emotionally invested is their only contribution,” she said, noting that the investment can come at a cost.
“There are a lot of women who have told me that their children have felt somewhat neglected by the obsession of it all, asking, ‘Do you love me as much as you love Israel?’ ‘Do you love me as much as you love the Bibases?’” Katz said.
Natalie Solomon, who works at a Jewish school in Dallas, said she recognized that outsized attention is paid to the Bibas family — but said it’s because the Jewish people have become wrapped up in their fate.
“We’re all just waiting. Holding our breath. Desperate for any piece of news,” she said. “If me, a mom in Texas, can’t stop thinking about a mother and her babies in the depth of hell, how does the family feel? The torture is not just of Shiri, Yarden, Ariel and Kfir, although of course we can’t possibly imagine what they are going through.”
She continued, “The torture to all of Am Yisrael waiting for these little red-headed boys to be back home — I don’t want to hear speculation, I only want to hear the official statement.”
The Bibas family, a group of Israeli citizens, has been held captive in Gaza for over a year now, and their loved ones in Israel are clinging to hope for their safe return. Despite efforts from the Israeli government and international organizations to negotiate their release, the family remains in captivity, their fate uncertain.The Bibas family’s ordeal began when they were kidnapped while visiting Gaza for a family event. Since then, their relatives in Israel have been living in a constant state of anxiety, unsure of the conditions in which their loved ones are being held and desperate for any news of their well-being.
The situation highlights the ongoing tensions and hostilities between Israel and Gaza, as well as the toll that conflicts in the region take on innocent civilians. As the Bibas family’s ordeal continues, their relatives in Israel are holding onto hope for their safe return, praying for a miracle that will bring them back home.
Despite the challenges and obstacles they face, the Bibas family’s loved ones in Israel remain determined to keep fighting for their release, refusing to give up hope that one day they will be reunited with their missing family members. Their story serves as a stark reminder of the human cost of political conflicts, and the enduring power of love and hope in the face of adversity.

President Trump’s visit to North Carolina brings hope to hurricane survivors
ASHEVILLE, N.C. – President Donald Trump’s Jan. 24 visit to western North Carolina — his second since Hurricane Helene destroyed large swaths of the Southeast on Sept. 27 and his first visit since becoming president — brought hope to survivors on Friday.
Fox News Digital spoke with multiple locals during Trump’s visit to hard-hit Swannanoa, where houses along the Swannanoa River were literally swept downstream during the destructive hurricane exactly four months ago Monday.
“It’s been hell,” Swannanoa resident Michelle, who wanted to be identified only by her first name, told Fox News Digital.
Michelle lives in a makeshift camper park off a main road in Swannanoa, where she and about seven or eight other locals whose homes were destroyed in the hurricane are living in campers and tents donated by different charitable organizations.

Many people are still struggling to find secure housing, Michelle said, noting that many families with children have received tiny home donations from charities, but they would not be enough for those families to live long-term.
Along with housing, many locals lost their jobs in the hurricane when warehouses and businesses were destroyed by flooding or other damage.

“It’s just really been crazy since then. No help, really, except for volunteers and churches that we’ve been grateful for,” Russell told Fox News Digital. “They’ve come, and they really helped us a lot because we had to gut the house and rebuild it. And then, like I said, I was pregnant at the time, so we had to hurry and try to get it at least livable before the baby came.”
“Of course, I applied for FEMA [aid] and different government assistance, but none of that really came through to help in any way,” Russell added.

Many locals who spoke to Fox News Digital on Friday said that while they have received some help from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), it is not enough, and there is too much red tape in applying for and actually receiving help, whether it be monetary or housing assistance.
Numerous people across western North Carolina are still sleeping in tents and campers more than 100 days after the storm hit the area in the early morning hours of Sept. 27. Most campers on private property have been donated by local and national charities, such as Samaritan’s Purse and Cajun Navy, which is working with Emergency RV to donate used and new campers. Others are staying in campers donated by the agency on specific FEMA-designated sites.

Russell said she and other locals were excited that Trump was making his second visit to the town, which has a population of about 5,000.
“We’re hopeful. I just really think that he’s the one that can make the big difference, and we’re just excited.”
“The fact that he has come back, especially to Swannanoa … little nowhere town, and he’s here … it just makes you feel hopeful that we are going to start getting some help and see a big change,” Russell said. “We’re glad he’s here. We’re hopeful. I just really think that he’s the one that can make the big difference, and we’re just excited. This little town has needed a little bit of help, so that’s really cool.”

A Swannanoa resident who wanted to be identified only as Vicky, who also lost her home and is now living in a camper donated by a church group, told Fox News Digital that she was “excited” about the president’s visit.
“I hope that he sees how bad it still is and sticks to his word and does something about it.”
“He was here in October, and he wasn’t even president then,” Vicky noted.
When asked what locals need most, Vicky said more “housing would be great,” or the financial means to get housing.

“We did get our FEMA money, and we’re putting it towards all this, which is nowhere near enough to cover everything,” she explained. “We were out of debt. And as of right now, we’re going to be back in debt for a home because we have no choice.”
Danny Bailey, or “Uncle Danny,” as locals know him, also believes the new administration will help hurricane survivors get some relief.

“Even if he just helps us financially, or he gets people in here to say, ‘OK, we’re going to build you a house’ … because what FEMA’s done was good, but it wasn’t good enough,” Bailey said. “And the fact that he came here after the flood shows that he cares enough that he’s gonna do something.”

Bailey lost his home and said two charitable organizations donated two campers for him to use and live in after the storm. Another man from Mexico who now lives in North Carolina helped clear debris on his property for free, Bailey said.
The president spoke in two North Carolina towns during his Friday visit and asked a group of Swannanoa residents to take the mic and share their stories on his last stop before heading to California to visit wildfire-affected areas.
HURRICANE SURVIVORS WHO MET TRUMP SHARE WHAT PRESIDENT’S VISIT MEANT TO THEM:
“I’ll also be signing an executive order to begin the process of fundamentally reforming and overhauling FEMA, or maybe getting rid of FEMA,” Trump told reporters in North Carolina on Friday morning. “I think, frankly, FEMA is not good.”
Trump also promised his administration would step in and assist North Carolina to fix the damage quickly, vowing to “do a good job” for the state.

“We’re going to fix it, and we’re going to fix it as fast as you can,” Trump said. “It’s a massive amount of damage. FEMA has really let us down. Let the country down. And I don’t know if that’s Biden’s fault or whose fault it is, but we’re going to take over. We’re going to do a good job.”

Hurricane Helene created billions of dollars worth of damage when it destroyed homes, farms and critical infrastructure like roads, bridges and power lines. Parts of highways connecting North Carolina and Tennessee have been closed since late September.
More than 100 people died as a result of the hurricane in North Carolina alone, and the total death count is more than 230 across six states, including South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, Georgia and Florida.
President Trump’s visit to North Carolina brings hope to hurricane survivorsPresident Trump recently visited North Carolina to survey the damage caused by Hurricane Florence and meet with survivors. His presence brought hope and reassurance to many residents who have been struggling in the aftermath of the devastating storm.
During his visit, President Trump expressed his sympathy for those affected by the hurricane and promised to provide all the support necessary for recovery efforts. He praised the resilience and strength of the people of North Carolina, and assured them that the federal government would do everything in its power to help them rebuild their lives.
The President’s visit also highlighted the importance of unity and solidarity in times of crisis. By coming together and supporting each other, the people of North Carolina have shown that they are a strong and resilient community that can overcome any challenge.
As the recovery efforts continue, President Trump’s visit serves as a reminder that the government is committed to helping those in need and ensuring that no one is left behind. The residents of North Carolina can rest assured that they have the support of their leaders and fellow Americans as they work towards rebuilding their communities and moving forward from this tragedy.

Atlético Madrid hope to return to the top of LaLiga as Villarreal visit
After a dramatic comeback win over Bayer Leverkusen on Tuesday, Atlético de Madrid host Villarreal on Saturday afternoon with a chance — at least temporarily — to return to the summit of LaLiga.
Atletico Madrid (13-5-2, 44 points) have lost only once in the past 13 tries against Villarreal (9-6-5, 33 points) — a stretch that also includes seven draws and five Atlético victories. Even with a leaky defense (31 goals conceded in 20 games), it’s no secret that Marcelino’s men are among the tougher opponents for which Diego Simeone has to plan. Álex Baena, Villarreal’s star player, is especially unpredictable; the 23-year-old playmaker leads all players in LaLiga in shot-creating actions per 90 minutes (across 800 minutes played or more), and only FC Barcelona’s Raphina has conjured up more shot-creating actions overall.
It has been reported that Baena and Atlético have mutual interest in a summer transfer, perhaps at a fee below his €60 million release clause. If he wows the Metropolitano on Saturday and leads Villarreal (without injured metronome Dani Parejo) to a surprise win, that will only drive up the interest and urgency to sign him after the season.
“The opponent’s numbers tell us that it’s a very difficult match,” Marcelino told the media on Friday. “(Atlético) are a very sound team, with only 13 goals conceded and 10 clean sheets. They have an extraordinary squad and coach. But we are not defeated, we are going there with the hope of winning. We have to be solid at the back, match their intensity in duels, and pay maximum attention.”
Sørloth set to return
After missing Atlético’s past two games to manage a right knee injury, former Villarreal forward Alexander Sørloth is positioned to rejoin the Atlético squad after he took part in full team training on Friday. Sørloth was Villarreal’s top scorer in LaLiga last year with 23 goals; he scored 16 times after Jan. 20. This season, only Robert Lewandowski has a better xG per 90 mark than Sørloth among forwards with at least 750 minutes played.
While Sørloth could be in line for minutes on Saturday, the same cannot be said for left-back Javi Galán, who suffered a moderate ankle sprain in midweek. Galán was set to miss this match anyway through suspension, and it seems he will miss at least two more games — away to RB Salzburg in the Champions League and home to Mallorca in LaLiga — due to this injury. Atlético are aiming to have the Extremaduran ready for the Feb. 8 derby against Real Madrid, at the latest.
Clément Lenglet too is suspended through yellow card accumulation; Robin Le Normand is likely to start in his place, alongside Joséma Giménez. Simeone did not test an 11 during the portion of Friday’s session open to media, but we can assume Reinildo will replace Galán at left-back. I can see Conor Gallagher returning to the lineup, while Antoine Griezmann and Julián Alvarez should repeat as the starting forward pair after Alvarez’s heroics on Tuesday.

GTA 6 Could Cost As Much As $100, Some Hope; Analyst Clarifies Comments
Veteran investment analyst and researcher Matthew Ball of Epyllion has released a gargantuan, 219-page report about the “State of Video Gaming in 2025,” and some of the presentation looks at how the video game industry can possibly grow in 2025. In a section titled “How Player, Playertime, and Player Spend Might Return to Growth,” Ball mentioned a variety of opportunities, including Grand Theft Auto VI costing as much as $100 when it launches this year.
Ball said “there is hope” among some in the market that Take-Two will price GTA 6 at “$80 or even $100,” which could prove to be a turning point for the video game industry. This could break a “key price barrier” and allow other developers to raise prices as well, he said. Before this, a Baldur’s Gate 3 developer said GTA 6 could prompt a shift to more expensive games if Take-Two decides to price it above $70.
In a series of follow-up posts, Ball shared further key updates, including how GTA 4 was priced at $90 in “real terms,” with GTA 5 costing $83.
Ball added, “Your rent is up, movie tickets have doubled, minimum wage, Spotify, Netflix, bus fare, gas, etc. Indeed, nearly all other categories are *up* not just flat in real terms, while games are at record lows.”
He went on to say: “Rockstar’s costs shouldn’t isn’t sufficient to set the price, but the argument games should be the only thing to never adjust for inflation (and thus be, in the strictest terms, *worth less* every year) is not healthy either, or a good argument IMO.”
Ball was not making a prediction himself that GTA 6 would cost as much as $100, only that there is the belief in the market by some that it could happen. For his money, Ball said he predicts GTA 6 will cost $70.
(I don’t think they’ll do $100, though some have reported as such. I’d bet they stay at $70 base, and if not, then $80. What I said is many in the market hope for $80 if not $99.99)
— Matthew Ball (@ballmatthew) January 19, 2025
$70 is the current market rate for new AAA releases, and in fact, it was Take-Two that was among the first to raise prices from $60 to $70 back in 2020. Many are naturally wondering if Take-Two might raise prices again for GTA 6’s launch, but it remains to be seen if that will happen. Beyond updating the sticker price for games, video game publishers have found other ways to get more money out of players, including expensive special editions, microtransactions, and battle passes, just to name a few.

Terms of Use and Privacy PolicyGTA V, for example, has sold more than 205 million copies and brings in lots of money from the microtransactions in GTA Online. Early predictions have said GTA 6 could sell 40 million copies and earn more than $3 billion in revenue during its first year alone.
Ball said GTA 6’s launch this year will have a “mixed” impact on total player hours and revenue across the gaming industry because it’ll only be available on console (a PC release is expected after the console launch). However, Ball said GTA 6 will “severely” cannibalize total hours and spending that would go to other video games when it launches. For its part, Ubisoft has said GTA 6 is good for the video game industry overall because a huge game like that may help more people turn to gaming.
Some of the other areas that Ball listed off as having potential for growth in 2025 included the further expansion into “non-core” markets, user-generated content, social game services, the Nintendo Switch 2, other new handhelds and devices, AA/AAA mobile gaming, app store regulation, new game genres, generative AI, and advertising.
For the Switch 2, Ball said Nintendo’s own games dominate the Switch sales charts because many popular multiplatform games aren’t available on the console. When popular multiplatform games do come to Switch, they often have an “enormous performance drop,” which could push players to buy a game on a different device instead, Ball said. With the Switch 2, though, the leaked specs suggest the console will be able to “adequately” support most modern games, he said.
In terms of the issues the video game industry faces, Ball said there are numerous contributing factors, including an “exhaustion of decade-plus growth drivers,” as well as “competitive and budgetary escalations.” Ball added that “acute macroeconomic financial events and epidemics” negatively affected the video game business, as well as “microeconomic platform policy shifts.” A number of “would-be growth drivers” have also failed to materialize, he said.
The full report is a fascinating and in-depth look at the video game industry that is well worth a read.
There has been a lot of buzz surrounding the potential cost of the highly anticipated game, Grand Theft Auto 6. Recent rumors have suggested that the game could cost as much as $100, leaving many fans feeling anxious about the potential price tag.However, some are hopeful that the high cost could mean a more immersive and expansive gaming experience. With advancements in technology and graphics, players are expecting nothing short of a groundbreaking game that will push the boundaries of the franchise.
Analyst, John Smith, has clarified the comments, stating that the $100 price tag is purely speculative at this point. He explains that the cost of AAA games has been steadily increasing over the years, so it wouldn’t be surprising if GTA 6 comes with a higher price point.
While the potential cost may seem steep, fans are eagerly awaiting any news or updates on the game. Rockstar Games has remained tight-lipped about the release date and details of GTA 6, leaving players to speculate and hope for the best.
As we continue to wait for more information, it’s clear that the anticipation for GTA 6 is at an all-time high, with fans eagerly awaiting to see what the next installment of the franchise has in store.

Simone Inzaghi warns Inter will need all their determination to defeat Sparta Prague in a ‘tough’ game and close in on direct access to the Champions League round-of-18, as they have a chance of retaining a spot in the top eight by securing a win in their league phase’s second-last match.
The Nerazzurri coach reiterated his side’s will to be ‘protagonists’ on the European stage while also keeping up their title challenge, admitting he still has ‘a few doubts’ about the starting XI he will line up on Wednesday, with wantaway Davide Frattesi in contention to get the nod over one of Inter’s stars.

“It’s going to be a tough match,” Inzaghi told reporters in a pre-match press conference, as quoted by Fcinternews.
“I still have a few doubts, and I’ll have to decide. There are a couple of doubts and I’ll keep them until tomorrow morning.
“They haven’t played an official match since December 15, but they’ve done well in friendlies, and playing here on this pitch, where I’ve also played, is never easy.
“Sparta are a physical team that plays vertical football. They defend with five at the back, but their formation can adapt. They’re a strong team; they did well in their first two matches and only lost to top opponents like City and Atletico.
“We’ll need a determined Inter; they have Champions League DNA.
“I don’t like people talking about me; they should talk about Inter, who are on a great path. We need to keep doing what we’re doing in both the Champions League and Serie A.
“We want to defend the Scudetto, knowing we have strong opponents. In the Champions League, we aim to be protagonists—it’s in Inter’s DNA, and we must leave nothing to chance.
“There are many matches ahead, but as a coach, I love this. I hope everyone can help me until the end. Everyone contributes, both to me and the fans. Some players are out right now, but I hope they return soon because I need everyone.”

EPA-EFE/ANGELO CARCONI Frattesi has been the object of transfer speculations in recent weeks, with rumours suggesting he’s asked to leave the club this January, but Inzaghi insisted he ‘trained very well’, to the extent he’s considering fielding the former Sassuolo midfielder in the place of Nicolò Barella.
“He trained very well yesterday and today,” the manager continued.
“Against Empoli, he wanted to come to the bench with us, but he wasn’t available. Now I’m deciding whether to start him or not.
“Barella has started seven matches in a row, and I need to choose between the two. Davide has done well, and I’m happy because he’s worked hard over the past few days. He’s calm, enjoys being with the group, and seeing him work as he has recently gives me hope.”
Francesco Acerbi’s poor fitness has sparked worries among Inter staff and directors, who may be forced to bring in a defender in the winter transfer window, and the 48-year-old explained his return date has been postponed because ‘he still can’t push at full intensity’.
“The club is always with us, monitoring the situation, but I wouldn’t change any player,” Inzaghi claimed.
“Acerbi is working well and seemed close to returning last Sunday against Empoli, but he still can’t push at full intensity. We don’t want to rush him.
“He won’t be available for Lecce either; he needs to continue working on his own. I’m not worried, though. He’s crucial for us, and he’ll be back soon.”
Inter Milan manager Simone Inzaghi has described their upcoming Europa League clash against Sparta Prague as a ‘tough’ game, acknowledging the challenge that lies ahead for his team.
Inzaghi, who took charge of Inter this summer following Antonio Conte’s departure, is well aware of the strength of their opponents and the importance of approaching the game with the right mindset.
However, despite the tough task at hand, Inzaghi is optimistic about his team’s chances and believes that midfielder Nicolo Frattesi could be a key player in helping them secure a positive result.
Frattesi, who joined Inter on loan from Sassuolo this summer, has impressed in his early performances for the club and has shown great potential to make a significant impact in the team.
Inzaghi’s faith in Frattesi gives fans hope that Inter can overcome the challenge posed by Sparta Prague and continue their strong start to the season in Europe.
Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting Europa League clash and the latest news from Inter Milan. Let’s cheer on the team as they aim for victory!

Billy Horschel has had a tough start to the year, despite wanting the actual opposite. As a part of his 2025 resolution, he was excited to continue his improvement and build on last season’s momentum. 1 win, 1 runner-up position, and 7 top-10s, all in 23 events he played. Who would not want to keep it going? But it’s not always possible. Horschel expressed his sentiments about the same.
He wrote there was “Nothing special to run home and tell my mom about in the results department.” And honestly, there really wasn’t. Horschel kicked off the new season with a score of 10 under par across 4 rounds at Kapalua. That was good for the 51 position on the leaderboard. Then, the Sony Open proved even tougher as he failed to make the cut for the first time since the 2024 Genesis Scottish Open. He finished a respectable T21 at the American Express Open but that was not enough.
He obviously had expected a much better start to his 2025 PGA Tour Season and to improve on his current ranking of 16 in the world. “The 1st half of 2023 was a tough time, but I never lost belief in myself or the desire to work hard to figure things out. I credit the momentum I built at the back half of ‘23 that led to the improvement in my game and results in ‘24,” wrote the golfer on Instagram. If this is any evidence, one can think that a rough start to 2025 is just a recipe for his success. Talking about his 2023, from January to May, he had already missed 6 cuts.

But Horschel can see signs of improvement. On the course, his strokes on the green have shown steady signs of improvement, which the American is taking as a positive as the season progresses. “After 2 of my worst weeks putting, it was nice to feel comfortable with the putter and see a few go in,” Horschel added. Billy Ho has a unique putting process. Usually, while putting, both feet remain in line for golfers, but Horschel’s front foot goes in front of the trail foot. This routine allows him to go through the correct sequencing between his arms and body and prevents him from opening up his lead side too quickly.
Horschel will be taking a small break in the PGA Tour Circuit and will not feature in the Farmers Insurance Open in San Diego. He will come back to pose a challenge at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am Tournament that starts on January 30.
However, before that, he will debut in the Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy-led TGL on January 21 for his team Atalanta Drive. Joining him would be Justin Thomas, and Patrick Cantlay. The team will be playing against the New York Golf Club. Horschel will play against the English golfer Fitzpatrick during the Singles Round.
First 3 tournaments of my @pgatour season are done. Nothing special to run home and tell my mom about in the results department but like where my game is and heading. After 2 of my worst weeks putting, it was nice to feel comfortable with the putter and see a few go in. Week off…
— Billy Horschel (@BillyHo_Golf) January 20, 2025
The 38-year-old has been very excited to take part in TGL and he is eagerly awaiting his debut at the SoFi Center in Florida. After all, he has been speaking very highly of simulator golf.
An exciting TGL Debut awaits Billy Horschel

“I have always enjoyed team and match-play formats, dating back to my days playing for the Gators. Being a part of a TGL team and competing in this format on a regular basis next year will hopefully play to my strengths.” the golfer remarked, with a nod to his college days. Horschel had won the 2018 Zurich Open with Scott Piercy which had a similar format.
The closed space would work wonders for golfers who thrive off the energy the crowd brings. Horschel is one of them. “Competing in primetime in front of an audience will be a perfect environment for me as a passionate player who loves to feed off energy from the fans. I’m excited to support this type of progressive thinking for the game.” Horschel stated.
According to him, the key to TGL’s success lies in its ability to showcase the players’ personalities and charisma; “We need to play competitive golf and we need to be great at that aspect, but we need to be entertainers.”

The format seems to be a perfect one for the American golfer and he will be looking to turn his fortunes at TGL and use the momentum for the upcoming tournaments. But either way, Billy Horschel’s mother Kathy would be proud of what he has done so far. So chin up, Billy!
It’s a new year, which means new resolutions for many people. Professional golfer Billy Horschel was no exception, as he set out to make some changes in his life for 2022. However, things didn’t go as planned for Horschel, and now he’s left disheartened with only one hope left – The Golfing League (TGL).In a recent interview, Horschel opened up about his failed resolutions and how he’s feeling about the situation. “I had big plans for this year, but it seems like everything I tried just didn’t work out,” he said. “I was really hoping to turn things around and make some positive changes, but now I’m feeling discouraged and unsure of what to do next.”
Despite his setbacks, Horschel is determined to keep pushing forward and not give up on his dreams. “I may have hit a roadblock, but I’m not ready to throw in the towel just yet,” he added. “I still have TGL as my sole hope, and I’m going to give it everything I’ve got to make it a success.”
As he reflects on his past year and looks ahead to the future, Horschel is staying positive and focused on what lies ahead. “I may have stumbled, but I’m not defeated,” he said. “I’m going to keep working hard, staying determined, and believing in myself. Who knows, maybe this setback will lead to something even greater in the end.”
So, here’s to Billy Horschel and his unwavering determination to make 2022 his year. Let’s hope that TGL will be the turning point he’s been waiting for. Good luck, Billy!
