1. You may have noticed kind of spotty news here over at least the past week or two. Sorry about that. As most of you are probably well aware, most of the States are on fire, figuratively speaking. Where I am is no exception to that. It's been in the 90s for the past week with high humidity and it's just been absolutely miserable. It's even more miserable in my work room with an AC that cannot keep up at all...

Sims-like 'Life By You' Canceled by Paradox Interactive
One former dev says they had the rugged pulled from them just weeks before launch.
Life by You was aiming to be The Sims rival the world so desperately needed. While The Sims is loved by millions, it would have been great to see another game enter that life-sim genre that doesn't have well over $1,000 worth of DLC. Plus, competition is good for all parties as it pushes companies to innovate and take risks, which can lead to better experiences for players.
