And Friday news: HELLDIVERS 2 is still not available in 177 regions but Ghost of Tsushima have been available at launch but then was just taken down in over 180 regions and no one knows why. Of course, these are the regions where PSN isn't supported.

🏴‍☠️🦜 It's time!

The most expensive indie game, Star Citizen just received yet another update: players will be able to find huge factories to fight against each other and get resources, the shooter mechanics were improved, flights have been divided into modes, and there are also new beasts to populate planets...

Imagine you are Asus — the famous computer hardware company... and your new policy is to scam people during service repairs. Asus now breaks things during "repair" and asks for insane payments from customers (sometimes higher than the price of the initial device)

But what if a blogger will find it out and will become a secret customer?

It's time for really important questions about #Weapons design

Marvel and NetEase only allowed bloggers to try their new "Overwatch like shooter" after they agreed not to criticize it in any way.

It ended up with a huge backfire and now companies pretend that it was accidental and the contract was misunderstood. So it will be improved and they are "happy to hear any feedback". Sure thing!

Little Kitty Big City is more of a Goat Simulator and Untitled Goose Game rather than Stray. Players and media agreed that it's good #IndieGames #Cats

Typical #Ubisoft announced a new game moment! Fans and investors were fairly cold after the announcement of Assassin's Creed Shadows.

And no, it's not about the main character: the biggest flop is that Ubisoft will make a separate subscription ecosystem for AC fans to build up their dream world where you don't own games and only subscribe for them. And yes, it's a separate one from the main Ubisoft subscription system and you need both to get all the bells and whistles.
