The Sinking City Devs Claim Publisher Hacked Their Game and Uploaded it to Steam
A tale of developer vs. publisher.
This past Friday, The Sinking City was released on Steam seemingly without the consent of Frogwares, the game's developer. This was, at the time, the latest in the ongoing legal battle between Frogwares and publisher Nacon. Frogwares has been actively telling fans not to purchase the current Steam release of The Sinking City because Nacon put it up without permission.

Review: The Medium (PC)
Trauma begets trauma.
Bloober Team was one of my favorite developers for a while there. They came out with Layers of Fear, which I largely adored. They also released Observer, which was a solid psychological horror set in a cyberpunk style universe. They had a couple of minor missteps with Layers of Fear 2 and Blair Witch, but I still held them in high regard. Now, they just released The Medium and man does it ever feel like a major step backwards for the company. If The Medium is...

BioWare is Cutting Back on Mass Effect Butt Shots
Cutting back the "ass" in Mass Effect.
There will be a lot less emphasis on butts in the Mass Effect Legendary Edition remasters. In speaking with Metro, character environment director Kevin Meek said that BioWare is taking steps to deemphasize the T&A in some scenes. If you were someone that played the original releases, you may recall some specific scenes that had camera angles focused on mostly ass. Expect that to change in Legendary Edition, at least to some degree....

Valve Ditches Artifact 2.0
Makes the original game F2P.
Valve is giving up on the idea of Artifact 2.0. This was their attempt to perform drastic overhauls to Artifact after the game was deemed a failure by fans and developers alike. It was a reboot, of sorts. Valve says that they have "accomplished most of (their) game-side goals, (but they) haven't managed to get the active player numbers to a level that justifies further development at this time."
So, development on the Artifact 2.0... -

Nacon Issues Statement Defending Decision to Put 'Pirated' Copy of The Sinking City on Steam
The battle continues.
This week, developer on The Sinking City, Frogwares, claims that the game's publisher, Nacon, illegally hacked a copy of their game and uploaded it to Steam. Shortly thereafter, Frogwares issued a DMCA takedown notice against its own game to get it removed from Steam. This was just the latest move in the ongoing battle between developer and publisher that began back in April of 2020.
In response to the DMCA takedown notice and claims against them... -

Marvel's Avengers is About to Make Level Grinding More of a Slog
How do we retain players? I got it!
On March 18, Marvel's Avengers will be updated in a number of ways. That is the date in which Hawkeye will be added to the roster. It will also be the date in which the game is given some next-gen improvements. That's the good news. The bad news here is that March 18 is also the date in which the team at Crystal Dynamics and Square Enix will revise the amount of experience needed in order to level up.
In short, you will now need more... -

Valheim Surpasses 5 Million Copies Sold
This Viking boat has no brakes.
A new status update from the team at Iron Gate delivers a new update on the amount of copies sold their open-world survival title, Valheim. The last update that we personally shared about the game came in mid-February. It was at that time that we shared word that the Early Access Steam release had hit 2 million copies sold. At that time, that figure happened just five days after the game was released into Early Access.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare Version - Where Did it Come From?
Being a Call of Duty fan has been one hell of a ride over the years. There are so many good memories of the game with some epic scenes, but are they going too far by making the game into more of a story narrative and adding what seems to be almost an attempt to make the game into a 3 in 1.
In the Infinite Warfare version, the game has certainly changed in a lot of ways. With the way it is driven by a story rather than just pure action seems to have slowed down the game slightly.... -
