Welcome to My Blog!

It has been a long time in the making, from my 3 year tenure at Hellhound Games, to my recent launch of the Beltran Family Organization. I have always wanted to have a space to share my knowledge of the gaming world as well as some of the personal knowledge that I have gained. And now I have just that, this blog will mainly be focusing on the gaming world and industry in general, touching on hot topics like new games, big events/announcements, as well as even some corporate news from some of the biggest names in gaming.

To start, I have launched my first ever article, Super Mario 64 Cartridge Sells at Auction for $1.5 Million. You can view the article now at blog.aidenbeltran.com. It really is an interesting story that shows just how collectible and valuable certain games from even 20+ years ago really are.

This is just the beginning with what I plan to release in this blog. I am currently aiming to launch 1 opinion article every week with a few smaller "hot takes" throughout the week as news comes in. So stay tuned here by subscribing or visit my Twitter(@AidenCBeltran) to always catch the latest story.

Report: Netflix May Have Plans to Bring Games to the Platform "In The Next Year"

The plan was hinted towards back in May , but was just reported by Bloomberg that Netflix could be more serious then we thought about implementing this new service. Recently, Netflix hired Mike Verdu, formerly of EA and Facebook/Oculus, as "vice president of game development". This definitely is a strong sign that Netflix is taking this possibility serious and has at least some sort of plan going forward. "The idea is to offer video games on Netflix's streaming platform within the next year," the story says, while also reporting, "the company doesn't currently plan to charge extra for the content." Netflix executives most definitely have been seeing the success of Microsoft's Game Pass platform and decided that this was something they could do. Even though, both Amazon and Google have tried (and failed miserably) to create a similar platform. As of writing this article, Netflix has yet to make any "official" announcements of the new s...

Military Officer Leaks Classified Documents During Video Game Argument Online

A fan of the game War Thunder leaked classified documents during an argument with another player in the game developer's online message boards. War Thunder is an MMO style game that specifically promises to be "the most comprehensive free-to-play, cross-platform, military game dedicated to aviation, armored vehicles, and naval craft." However, according to a user who goes by the online name of Fear_Naught; the studio, Gaijin Entertainment, was not accurate in its in-game depiction of the Challenger 2 military tank. "As I’ve stated a fair few times now, the complexity of the construction is sometimes difficult to see/show with pictures," Fear_Naught wrote on July 14. Shortly after writing the above comment, Fear_Naught, who is believed to be a commander in the Royal Tank Regiment of the United Kingdom, uploaded screenshots of official documents for the Challenger 2. The intention was to show Gaijin how they went wrong with the Challenger 2, however, Gaijin remov...

Creator of Game Franchise Five Nights at Freddy's Announces Retirement Amid Backlash

Famed creator of the hit game franchise Five Nights at Freddy's , Scott Cawthon, has announced on Twitter that he will be retiring after 10+ years. The announcement comes amid receiving backlash over the reported allegations that Cawthon had made donations to former president Donald Trump as well as other top Republicans. The Five Nights at Freddy's or more commonly known as "FNAF" franchise has grown and maintained an immense following, especially from members of the LGBTQ+ community. Which is why it came as a shock to many when it was alleged that he was making donations to politicians who famously have been anti-LGBTQ. Cawthon then took to his website and wrote: "I've had a blessed, fulfilling and rich career, [...] I've tried to make some good games (let the debate ensue), and I've witnessed the creation of possibly the most creative and talented fanbase on the planet." In his statement, Cawthon adds that his sudden departure won't be ...
