So not only canceling the game but blindsiding their developers with layoffs too.

Kind of sad but at the same time I don't think I would trust Bethesda of today especially to properly remake it anyways.

The bizarre Banana game that has overtaken Steam has a new rival in Cats, which also drops priced items for players who continuously click.

Yay, more steam scam games...

A lawmaker was caught on tape dumping water into her colleague’s bag. He says it’s part of a yearslong pattern of bullying.
  • “Quite honestly, I don’t know why I did it,” Morrissey continued. “I was not meaning to hurt him. It is something very out of character for me, and I am truly ashamed.”

    Oh bullshit, we all know why you did it, it's because you're a Republican showing your Republican values and morals you asshole.

  • Dragon Age: The Veilguard | Official Gameplay Reveal
  • Yeah, by the time DA: Inquisition came I pretty much checked out and now with the super close camera and flippy, dodgy combat where you don't even really see your teammates, just makes it seem like any other third person, souls wanna be trend chaser.

    It's going to be a wait and see for me, maybe there's something there that can make it stand out but I'm not exactly waiting with bated breath here.

    Well okay then.

    After you die, your Steam games will be stuck in legal limbo
  • Well glad you have your death date all planned, you'll never unexpectedly die before that date, have your will and trust set, are having your will and trust legally updated ever time you update your password for all your digital media accounts.

    Not all of us do and in lieu of relying on individuals to have this shit set up and hope nothing goes wrong I'll continue to advocate that we need a legal avenue to ensure legally purchased digital goods are able to be passed on after death and no I'm not going to shut the fuck up about but you're more than free to continue to not give fuck.

  • https://support.google.com/accounts/troubleshooter/6357590?hl=en

    From what I know, you cannot access or transfer a email account on death, at most you can close it.

    So again, there is a need for legal ways to transfer our digital goods in my opinion because unless you have a will, which so many people don't have set up, with passwords for all of your accounts, which you'd better be updating on every password change, if you die suddenly before you can transfer your account in a orderly fashion, you can be hosed with passing on digital goods

    After you die, your Steam games will be stuck in legal limbo
  • It's still not unreasonable in my opinion to have a legal route to pass our digital property down. Here we're talking about steam, a relatively good company, imagine what EA or Ubisoft would do without legal protections.

  • After you die, your Steam games will be stuck in legal limbo
    1. They'll have to provide proof of death, which every other company has to deal with when people die.
    2. What's one more thing that crappy family is going to do, not like they're going to only fight over the stream account and not fight over the house, land, or cash.
    3. I'm going to be a little snarky here and say, "Won't somebody think of the corporations!" Having to do some extra work isn't going to bring down a billion dollar company.
    4. Who cares if it's not a simple solution? A legal solution should be provided since we as gamers have paid for these games and we should have a avenue to pass them to our surviving kin or whoever we want.

    After you die, your Steam games will be stuck in legal limbo

    Saw a article on a large number of gamers being over 55 and then I saw this which I believe needs to be addressed in our current laws.

    Both God of War Ragnarok and Until Dawn are coming to Steam finally, but they will annoyingly require a PlayStation Network Account despite being single-player games.

    The Silent Hill 2 remake has a release date

    >The following month, Bloober Team president Piotr Babieno said the trailer “does not reflect the spirit of the game”, saying the marketing side of things was Konami‘s responsibility.

    Silent Hill was freaking awesome back in the day but it's Konami so I take all of this with a large grain of salt about the game play and caveat emptor with this.

    With some strong reviews and a Game Pass launch, the Steam release of Hellblade 2 doesn't look incredibly big over on Valve's platform.

    Normally this wouldn't be news but given Xbox's recent decisions on game studios this might actually be concerning for Ninja Theory.
