Yes, but will I get Highguard?

Since Krafton lost the case against the founders of Unknown Worlds, they were also removed from Steam page of the game.

It's not yet clear how it unfolds, Krafton still owns Unknown Worlds to a degree. But they may have been locked out from any control over the game.

Before the company made a deal that included a huge royalties for the studio founders if Subnautica 2 meets the quota.

To prevent this from happening, Changhan Kim, the CEO of Krafton rejected his own lawyers and listened to Chat GPT instead that helped him to file a claim, took the studio from founders, and then lose miserably in court.

You can now use V-Ray for free on Blender: Chaos were supporting the foundation for some time and tried the commercial path before during the beta

Now it's the official release, re-written for Blender specifically, not a port from other engines (like it used to be).

Folks, where are you from, what's going on, is it a scam (yes) 😎 A bunch of cheap ass bots hopped in.

UPD: There are 100+ of them today, literally, WTF.

The Mouse Detective game, announced a few years ago, is finally right behind the corner and the reviews are positive!

That's curious. There was a huge attack on Rockstar recently and they confirmed it is true but said that GTA VI isn't affected. But some data started to show up from hackers:

This is, for example, GTA Online weekly profits with per-platform breakdown. We can notice that PC is behind every other platform. Which explains why GTA VI is not coming to PC right away.

It's crazy that almost $4.5m is coming weekly from PS5 alone. This also explains why they gave 0 fucks about DLCs for the main game.

Thank you, Todd

This crappy game is now 5% less crappy, about 95% more and it will be playable. This whole thing took you only three damn years to make.

Two days before Pragmata

What was the most misleading statement from NVIDIA? I'll start...

Disney just fired 8% of Marvel and delisted dozens of games from online stores. One of them was supposed to be under GoG protection but was still delisted even there. In total 29 games were delisted this year (15 now + 14 in January)

Marvel case is also curious: the layoffs were reported as urgent and fairly random. But the expected shift is near elimination of VFX department that will be replaced by a few outsourcing managers.

Just a few first moves of the new top management 🫡

Alinea Analytics suggests that Starfield sold only 140 000 copies on PS5 during the first week. Which is less than The Outer Worlds 2, for example.

This could explain the overall positive score on PlayStation store, if only some true fans bought it. But no: a lot of people noticed that it's nearly unplayable due to constant crashes. So it's just the legendary PS fans tolerance to issues.

In the meantime, Road to Vostok apparently sold ~150 000 copies so far and the sales are not slowing down (compared to 100K copies on Friday). The official data will probably catch up in a couple of days, but it looks oddly solid by reviews alone.
