  EA Cancels EA Play Live for 2022

  The typical Summer showcase lineup continues to shrink.
  
  Back in the day, we used to enjoy a decent lineup of gaming tradeshows during the Summertime period. We had E3, we had showcases from Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft. Now? Well, we're not sure. E3 still seems to be in question. There's that Summer Game Fest coming again this year, but that had a super underwhelming first showing last year. And now? Now, EA has also cancelled their annual EA Play Live showcase.

  Redout 2 Gameplay Overview

  Gotta go fast!
  
  A new gameplay overview trailer for Redout 2 was revealed today. This is the sequel to the "award-winning anti-gravity racing franchise" from 34BigThings and Saber Interactive. I'll level with you all here: This game is a lot like the Wipeout game series, including the whole super-fast anti-gravity racing on wild tracks that have lots of hills, heavily banked turns, all sorts of twists and turns.
  
  Redout 2 will feature solo and online multiplayer...

  Stalker 2 Renamed to Heart of Chornobyl to Reflect Ukrainian Spelling

  It's a small difference but it has big political connotations.
  
  Russian forces, under orders from a pathetic sort, continue their invasion of Ukraine while senselessly murdering civilians and soldiers alike. With their headquarters located in the Ukraine capital of Kyiv, Stalker 2 developers GSC Game World made a small change to the title for the upcoming Stalker 2 that has some significant political meaning.
  
  As GSC Game World continues just trying to survive, they did...

  How George R.R. Martin Hid His Initials in Elden Ring

  That Elden Ring is so hot right now.
  
  If you have been playing Elden Ring, and chances are pretty good that you are given the massive sales figures for the game, you may have noticed something a little odd. Apparently, all of Elden Ring's main demigods and bosses have names that start with one of George R.R. Martin's initials.
  
  Oh yeah, this is about to get into some spoiler territory here. So, if you haven't defeated every main boss yet or are thinking of picking up the...

  Elden Ring is a Massive Hit in America

  The best reviewed game in years is a huge seller. Surprised?
  
  Elden Ring is the best-selling game in the United States thus far in 2022. The latest data from the NPD say that FromSoftware's latest release is the second-best launch of the past 12 months, coming up just short of topping Call of Duty: Vanguard.
  
  This means that Elden Ring had a better launch month than some of the other recent megahits like Halo Infinite, Forza Horizon 5, Pokemon Legends: Arceus, Horizon Forbidden...

  Dr Disrespect and Twitch Settle Lawsuit

  A reason for his initial ban still wasn't provided.
  
  Guy Beahm, aka Dr Disrespect, was permanently banned from Twitch back in June 2020. At the time, nobody in the public had any knowledge as to why the two-timer was banned. Though we still don't know why he was permanently banned, we at least arrived at a point where we can safely say the battle between Twitch and Beahm has come to an end.
  
  In 2021, Beahm filed a lawsuit against Twitch claiming that the loss of his channel...

  Nintendo Suspends Shipments to Russia Due to 'Logistics'

  It's not quite the same level of condemnation that other companies have made.
  
  Nintendo has suspended product shipments to Russia. This has been confirmed by Nintendo in a statement issued to Eurogamer.
  
  Unlike most every other company that has announced similar moves, Nintendo made no mention of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. They also have not offered any measure of support for the people of Ukraine like other companies have including Bungie and Sony.
