Square Enix Ditching Platform Exclusives in Favor of Multi-platform Releases
The era of PlayStation exclusives may finally be at an end.
Square Enix and Sony have had partnerships that date back several years now. Many, if not most, of the games developed by Square Enix ended up being exclusive to PlayStation platforms. Most of those exclusives may eventually find their way to PC but they would never make their way to either Xbox or Nintendo consoles.
That seems like it's about to change. According to the latest earnings release (PDF), Square... -

Johan Pilestedt is also tired of removing the fun.
It feels like with each update that comes out for Helldivers 2 another weapon (or several) are given a new nerf. Hell, just this week developer Arrowhead released an update that nerfed the R-36 Eruptor.
Fans are getting a little tired of what feels like constant nerfs and an apparent lack of buffs for weapons. The nerfs are making the game "unfun" according to most of the complaints. A common argument against... -

Zoidberg Dance Glitch Leads to Yoda Ban in Fortnite
Absurd, this title is.
Yoda has been banned from Fortnite. Epic Games found that the little green alien dude was just too damn powerful and was capable of crashing game clients when paired with the Zoidberg Scuttle emote.
When he's not banned from the game, Yoda appears as a back bling item. Normally, this isn't an issue, but when you combine that Yoda back bling item with the Scuttle emote, you get a recipe for disaster. ... -
