The Entertainment Software Association (ESA) has released an infographic showcasing just how massive and diverse this year’s E3 2015 showcase was. Nothing more to say that wow.

Sandbox Interactive, developers of sandbox MMORPG Albion Online, have concluded their 4-week Summer Alpha event and released some impressive player participation and activity stats.
