GAME-HIVE: Your Ultimate Destination for Gaming News, Reviews, and Tips

Well, folks, I have good news regarding DRMs for once. After today's outrage concerning Sony's new PlayStation DRM that locks your games if you don't connect to the internet every 30 days, we have a case of a company removing an invasive DRM from its game before it even came out, which should serve as inspiration for other publishers to do the same. The game in question is the upcoming Star Wars: Galactic Racer , which, as per SteamDB , no longer has Denuvo. In fact, the Denuvo DRM label, which has to be displayed on the Steam store page of any game that contains it, was also removed, indicating that the most invasive and complex mainstream DRM is almost certainly gone.

And of course, over on social media, players are ecstatic to see this development. On the PC Gaming subreddit , on...

Despite fears that Asha Sharma would harm the Xbox brand after being named chief executive and replacing Phil Spencer, it actually seems the new head of the company is doing wonders for consumers.

By May, all funding was supposed to go away, and it seems Nagoshi Studio failed to score a new deal and has since removed its entire YouTube channel and all related videos.
