Live-service games have long eluded the threat of piracy due to their constant internet requirements and server-side checks used to verify any given copy. However, modern problems require modern solutions, which led a group of pirates to concoct a bypass and start playing ARC Raiders for free. The topic came to broader public attention with a Jan. 13 Reddit thread that outlined that ARC Raiders had indeed been cracked. To put it more accurately, the game's online checks and backend copy verification methods had been bypassed, and no actual "crack" had been made at the time. This allowed pirates to hop into the game free of charge, and they did so for several days, with the crack being patched out (with no actual mention of it from Embark) by Jan. 14. https://ift.tt/GQhVkBT I read this today and went into the thick of it, perusing a well-known Russia-based forum for cracked games (which I won't link or mention) and looking up ARC Raiders on it. From what I c...

A few months ago, New World got axed, sharing the fate of so many of its live-service brethren. And while the servers are still kicking, no new content will come to the game, and now Rust 's lead dev wants to save it from certain doom, much like Hytale was back in November 2025. New World had its development frozen last year, indicating a full-blown shutdown was soon to follow. Things remained calm for a spell, and the servers kept kicking, but Amazon has since delisted the game from all stores, preventing any further purchases. Servers are likely to be cut by early next year, if not earlier, marking the end of an ambitious project that was to dethrone World of Warcraft as the go-to MMO (something many had tried and failed to do over the years). https://twitter.com/Alistair_McF/status/2011890710468071708 Alistair McFarlane, COO of Rust developer Facepunch, came out with a proposition to buy out the game from Amazon, saving it from being taken offline. He said on X that...

In a strange turn of events, Discord, a platform primarily used by gamers of all kinds, is allegedly banning players for the offense of sharing Nexus Mods links with each other. Some now believe a major third-party corporation is pushing for these decisions, with implied copyright infringement claims. As spotted and heavily documented by users on Reddit , sharing Nexus Mods links specifically tied to Sony's games Spider-Man and Marvel Rivals will apparently result in a two-year ban with no prior warning. Per the shared screenshots of bans, copyright infringement is cited as the reason for the bans, even though these mods are legitimate and free of charge, which should put them in the fair use category. The users' documentation , which contains supposed communications with both Discord staff and Nexus Mods support, implies that Sony mass-flagged various content related to its games, which led to false positives, banning folk who aren't engaging in any sort of copyright...

In ARC Raiders , you are bound to find a ton of items whose purpose might at first be obscure, unknown, or altogether mysterious. This is particularly true during the game's events, whereby its maps are fundamentally changed and given new effects, dynamic mechanics, and other crucial alterations. The  Electromagnetic Storm  event transforms any given map into a rainy, stormy, dangerous environment where lightning strikes at every corner. When they do, they leave a physical mark on the world in the form of Fossilized Lightning , which players can pick up and loot. Its purpose doesn't seem clear-cut at first, but it can be quite a rich source of another, more useful compound. Here's everything you need to know. Fossilized Lightning item in ARC Raiders, explained Blue Gate is a good place to find Fossilized Lightning, but the locations are random. Screenshot by Destructoid Fossilized Lightning is an item that exclusively spawns on the Electromagnetic Storm event in A...
