Microsoft really started to delete screenshots and videos from #XBox after 90 days. This sounds like a joke! Is there a contest for the most impressive alienation of own users?

And finally #Unity 6 reached PREVIEW stage (which means, you can try it out and expect it will not crash every minute or so).

Meanwhile, on social media posts people are asking if fixed Occlusion Culling, better water systems, and some other smaller features are such a big change, compared to development speed of #UnrealEngine and #Godot4.

Take-Two is shutting down Roll7 (OlliOlli World, Rollerdrome) and Intercept Games (Kerbal Space Program 2).

Two indie Dutch studios are also announced that they are shutting down — KeokeN Interactive (Deliver us the Moon) & Paladin Studios (Cut The Rope Remastered, Strombound, etc).

It seems that KeokeN is trying to stay alive by keeping a small team and look for funding. Their GDC investment tour failed this year but there are a couple of people left who will try to do something for some more months.

Helldivers II will force people to make PSN accounts to keep playing. It's a paid game and PSN isn't supported in over 60 countries (where the game was working).

No surprise the players got really mad and the #PlayStation team is trying to pretend nothing is happening...

Meanwhile, over 62K negative reviews were added on #Steam in a single day (which is a record) pushing the game into mixed grade with 48% positive recent reviews.

A couple of updates:

License agreement was changed and the company tried to pretend that an account was always required (it was optional). Users are now twice angrier because of such a outrageous lie.

In some regions the company will store sensitive information (photo and scan of the government issued ID) which looks awful since Sony was hacked dozens of times recently.

The overall Steam score is now mixed and recent is mostly negative. Oddly enough, many positive reviews are also criticizing the game (maybe they are unaware how to switch it to negative)?.

To keep ruining the reputation, instead of rolling back changes, Sony restricted sales of Helldivers II in 170 countries...

There are fewer than 200 countries (even with disputed territories) and not all of them are on Steam. Which means there are like 25 locations left where you can still buy the game.

If you want to request a refund from within the European Union:

Helldivers 2 are in violation of Directive (EU) 2019/771 as well as EU Article 7 of the Unfair Commercial Practices Directive (2005/29/EC) and Article 6, 13, and 27 of the European General Data Protections Act.
