  EA Announces EA Sports FC to Replace FIFA Games

  Who needs FIFA? Not EA apparently.
  
  It's no surprise that EA and FIFA haven't seen eye to eye over these past several months. FIFA wanted to charge EA a cool $1 billion (USD) every four years to continue using the FIFA license. EA balked at the idea, citing the cost and creative restrictions as the reason, and decided to part ways from FIFA going forward.
  
  Today, EA officially announced that after the release of FIFA 23, the studio will officially change the name of their...

  Fight fight fight. Kiss kiss kiss.

  2001 Build of Duke Nukem Forever Might be Released in June

  A leaker wants to get this out to the public.
  
  For better or worse, Duke Nukem Forever sure is a video game. At one point, however, it was an almost completely different game. A version of Duke Nukem Forever that was shown at E3 2001 ended up being nothing like the final release that Gearbox put out in 2011. If you need some sort of a reminder of 2011's release, I did write a review for Duke Nukem Forever (the images are long gone). At the time, I found it to be rather mediocre as did...

  Hunt: Showdown Servers Maliciously Attacked

  The attacks happened during a special in-game event.
  
  In March, Crytek kicked off a special Traitor's Moon event in Hunt: Showdown, the studio's popular PvPvE game. This event would reward players with some legendary skins, provided you played enough to earn enough points to redeem for said skins. Problem was that the event was plagued by constant server woes.
  
  Crytek deployed several patches, hotfixes, and statements about the situation. They apologized to their fans for...

  This isn't going over well with fans.

According to their own funding tracker, the team has already amassed over $457 million (USD) in funding. Again, the game is still not finished yet.
  
  The latest developer update from Cloud Imperium Games maybe shines a little light as to why the game...
