Amazon Luna is killing off third-party library support, with save files not ‘guaranteed’ to work on other platforms

Image
After deciding not to compete with Steam, it seems Amazon doesn't even want to compete with other cloud services, continuing the trend of downsizing its gaming departments more and more. This time around, it's cutting down its Luna cloud service by disallowing players from playing games on their own third-party platforms and not guaranteeing their saves will carry over. As PC Gamer writes , Amazon will bar you from playing games via the "Bring Your Own Library" function, which previously allowed players to stream titles through Luna no matter where they bought them. You'll still be able to use the service as such by June 10, which is when all your third-party purchases will be rendered unusable on Luna. You'll get to keep the games on those platforms and be able to play them elsewhere, as well as rent some of them via Luna's pricier Premium tier, so the games aren't exactly going away from the platform. Amazon Luna is, like Xbox Cloud Gaming, a c...

Never too late for censorship: Doki Doki Literature Club gets deplatformed by Google Play a decade after release

Image
Doki Doki Literature Club is one of those games considered genre-defining, as it almost singlehandedly spearheaded and revolutionized the "new weird" movement in video games, where titles would behave seemingly on their own, providing some of the most unique horror ever displayed on screen. It came out in 2017 and at the time was surrounded by a lot of controversy and discussions, primarily due to its dark, graphic, and unfiltered themes that concerned suicide, self-harm, mental illness, and so on. It was and remains a direct confrontation with the darkest sides of humanity and is, on top of that, one of the most unique games ever made, since its gameplay loop largely depends on constant replays where the game "autonomously" does things to itself and to your machine. Nine years later, Doki Doki Literature Club is again in the limelight, once more due to its themes and graphic displays, which Google Play seems to have taken an issue with. A few months after lau...

All Sierra abilities in Overwatch

Image
Sierra has been officially revealed as O verwatch 's newest hero in Season 2 as part of the Summit Breach trailer. This is the first time we have seen what she will look like and what her potential in-game kit will be. With a large plasma rifle in hand, it's pretty safe to assume the kind of role she will play. Potential Sierra abilities and roles in Overwatch As of writing, Blizzard hasn't officially described Sierra's abilities and how they will function. However, the trailer allows us plenty of room for speculation about how her possible kit will work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gojQHSdKxHI Weapon: Helix Rifle, which should work as an assault weapon. There will be a possible spiral pattern to the shots. Tracking Shot: Helix Rifle shots that will track the enemy and reveal their location unless they're far away. Drone: A functional drone that could provide some kind of mobility boost. Indications are that you'll be able to launch the drone in t...
