    Tetris Movie is Now a Trilogy

    According to a report by The Guardian, the Tetris movie is now three movies. Yes, it's now a trilogy. A film trilogy about Tetris. Three movies... about falling blocks. Yep.

    The Producer on the film, Larry Kasanoff, said that the story was just too big for one film. Seriously, he said that.
    “The story we conceived is so big,” said Kasanoff. “This isn’t us splitting the last one of our eight movies in two to wring blood out of the stone. It’s just a big story.”

    Activision Forces Orion Off Steam Following DMCA Request Over Stolen Assets

    Looks like Spiral Game Studios... Sorry, Trek Industries is in some hot water once again. This time, Activision is going after the studio with a DMCA takedown request. Activision says that Spiral's latest game, The Orion Project (AKA: Orion), uses stolen assets from Call of Duty: Black Ops 3. As such, it seems as though the game has been pulled from Steam until this is resolved. That is, at least, what Spiral is telling the public. Trek Industries' David Prassel issued the following ...

    These bits equate to a monetary donation made for the streamer in lieu (or in addition to) the usual support of subscribing or donating directly.

    Oculus Removes Hardware Check DRM

    Oculus has removed the hardware check for Oculus "exclusive" games. This annoying bit of DRM, introduced back in May, prevented non-Oculus users from playing games on other VR hardware (such as the Vive) and only allowed Oculus VR headsets to play purchased titles. People, namely those working on Revive, found ways around this that opened the door to easily accessible piracy. One of the more popular methods modified the software to allow sideloading of games. Revive's developer said that he did...
