Almost a year after kicking off their new venture into video games and esports, Channel Seven has cancelled ScreenPLAY.

There's a neat visual trick when you visit the screenPLAY studios at Channel Seven. After exiting the first floor, you walk through what could be any ordinary office building towards a set of double doors. Those open to a much larger passageway with black floors and black walls, what you'd expect from a standard TV studio.

There's another set of double doors, and I'm told that we're heading to what used to be called the SWOMP - Seven West Olympic Meeting Place. But you don't get that sense in the preceding corridor, a narrow set of black, glossy walls. It's a touch cramped, almost mysterious. And then the doors to the SWOMP, now the screenPLAY studio, opens.

Whoa.

The set is huge. Absolutely huge. There's even a disused cinema.

It's not what you expect. And as Hex and Nichboy, former Good Game hosts, explained to me afterwards, that's kinda the idea.

The Seven Network has announced today that their new gaming show, screenPLAY, will begin broadcasting online today via Facebook Live and through 7mate from June 29.

Quietly announced amidst all the hustle and bustle of E3, Channel Seven has lifted the lid on the name for their new gaming show with Hex and Nichboy. It's called screenPLAY.

In one of the more bizarre things to happen this week, NSW Police Minister Troy Grant has gone on national television to complain about a seven year old mod for Grand Theft Auto 4.
