    For a casino to operate, however, it needs to obtain prior licensing from an appropriate authority. These bodies enforce the u...

    Now is your chance to get the elusive DLC.

    When Infamous Second Son (stylized as inFAMOUS) first came out in 2014, it offered a small piece of DLC that bridged the gap between the span of time between Infamous 2 and the events of Second Son.
