Fans are Livid About New Starfield Announcement
AMD sponsored titles are notorious for not including DLSS support.
AMD announced that they have entered into a partnership with Bethesda for the latter's upcoming release of Starfield. This announcement just happens to come at a really bad time for AMD.
Team Red recently avoided answering whether they block the use of alternative scaling technologies like Nvidia DLSS and Intel XeSS in their partnership terms with developers. It has been noted by several outlets and fans... -

Escape from Tarkov Devs Ban Data Mining
There will be a zero-tolerance policy for datamining.
Data mining video games is really nothing new. It's been happening for years now, decades even. If there is a game, chances are pretty good that someone has attempted to dive deep into the files to uncover unreleased content or plans for future updates. This is especially true for live-service or GAAS titles.
Escape from Tarkov, the first-person extraction shooter is one such title that is constantly evolving and constantly... -

Forza series developer Turn 10 Studios announce that the online services for both Forza Horizon 1 and Forza Horizon 2 will be going offline on August 22, 2023. They say that this is due to both of these titles now having "a very small player population." This move will allow them to "focus on (their) most current games."

Microsoft Admits Xbox Lost the Console Wars
Xbox is well behind the competition from Sony and Nintendo.
Microsoft has flat-out admitted that they have long lost the console wars. This remarkable but unsurprising admission came in its proposed findings of fact that Microsoft submitted on the first day of its court battle with the FTC. Special thanks to IGN for sharing this information.
This week's court battle came after the FTC filed a preliminary injunction to halt Microsoft's $69 billion acquisition of Activision... -

Bungie Apologizes for Using Someone Else's Art in New Cutscene
Another oops from Bungie.
A new and rather major story cutscene made its debut in Destiny 2 this week. It did not take long after the cutscene was made available that an artist noticed something quite familiar.
Twitter user Julian Faylona said that it looked as though "Bungie took inspiration" from some Destiny 2 fan artwork they created almost three years ago. Many, stating the obvious, said that it was less that the cutscene art was "inspired" by... -

by Shawn ZipayGet that Premium Edition and play three days early!
Looks like the latest growing trend with game releases is to offer a more expensive Premium or Gold or whatever edition that grants you access to a game a few days ahead of its official release.
Starfield did it with their $99.99 (USD) Premium Edition. Today, Payday 3 is doing an "Early Access" release with their Silver and Gold editions. Diablo 4 did the same thing earlier in the year, as did Madden NFL 24,...I don't mind. If people want to spend more to play early, let them!33.33%1I'm indifferent to the whole idea.33.33%1I think it's kind of dumb that people get to play earlier.
