  EA Closing Servers for Crysis 3, Dead Space 2, and Dante's Inferno

  Let's be real: Nobody knew the servers for these were still live anyway.
  
  If you are still playing the online components for Crysis 3, Dead Space 2, or Dante's Inferno, I've got some bad news for you.

Secondly, the online servers for those three games are being shut down starting in September.

  Tekken 8 Won't Use Denuvo

  Harada says you all "sit the hell down" now.

  Second Baldur's Gate 3 Update Fixes Protruding Dicks

  Oh, and there are a bunch of other fixes included.
  
  The second post-release "hotfix" update for Baldur's Gate 3 was released a short time ago today. Sure, this update includes some nice fixes for a few game crashes, progression blockers, and other issues. However, the big news here is that penis options C and D will no longer clip through some of the githyanki clothing. Likewise, male gnome sorcerers are no longer missing their underwear.

  Despite these statements being made today, August 3, 2023, the changes will not go into effect until 2025.
