Yes but it would also go against the mindset they've held for a long time on the PC market. They favor an "open garden" approach instead of a closed off one like with consoles and games exclusivity.

Like if they wanted to money hat games, they would have done it when GOG was starting to rival them as a digital store or cut the legs out of Origin when EA proclaimed they were challenging Steam's dominance.

Epic is pretty much hedging their bet that their massive pool of Fortnite users and them grabbing as many big games as possible will entice people to use their store over Steam regardless of the issues with the store itself. Its why something like a shopping cart feature gets put on the back-burner since Epic doesn't see the store itself as their priority.

Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford is currently facing new allegations of him siphoning around $12 million from the company for his own personal benefit.

Supposedly Borderlands 3 publisher 2K Games sent the company money meant to be paid out as bonuses to the staff for their work on the game. Pitchford managed to get approval from 2K Games to personally handle the money and allegedly diverted it away to a personal company owned by him instead.

This was revealed in a recent updated filing to a lawsuit Pitchford is currently facing from the company's former lead attorney.

Samurai Shodown revival getting great reviews.

Although for some reason I can't fire it up on my PS4 until 1 this afternoon. That's when the timer ends unless it got fixed overnight.

I think 2K has to shoulder part of the blame here. I mean, they no doubt know about other similar allegations about Pitchford, so I have to wonder what the fuck they were thinking to allow him to handle the money personally as opposed to, oh, I don't know, maybe the person directly below him in the Gearbox chain-of-command?

For those interested in Samurai Shodown, apparently SNK's free Season Pass offer isn't restricted to only those who buy the game before June 30th.

It seems SNK is giving away the season pass for everyone until June 30 instead of limiting it to purchases of the game.

While I can find a link to the PlayStation Store version, there doesn't seem to be one active for Xbox One yet.

Mine was already bundled in when I purchased through the PS Store.

Yet, for some reason the Nakoruru retro outfit on the store was free through the season pass, but they wanted $2.99 for the Genjuro outfit.

Sony announced they have recently entered a partnership with Square Enix for the development of a live-action Final Fantasy XIV tv series.

Hivemind Entertainment studio was also announced to be working on this project. They are also currently working on live-action The Witcher series for Netflix.

Details are mum because the show is still in the development phase with no cast planned as of yet. There are also no details on where this will air, though given Hivemind is working with both Netflix -- on The Witcher -- and Amazon -- on The Expanse -- it seems likely this will be a streaming show.

* Besides Tetris 99 on the Switch, The Tetris Company recently announced a new Tetris battle royale game called Tetris Royale is currently in development for mobile devices and arrives later this year.

* Based on a recent job posting, Square Enix is currently working on a new Dragon Quest game for next gen consoles.

* For those holding some slim hope that games would be cheaper on Google Stadia than on consoles, Stadia boss Phil Harrison stated that likely will not be the case when the service launches. Harrison did mention that game prices are entirely in the hands of publishers and they feel the service will be worth the full price for games.

* During a recent interview with Nikkei, Sony Interactive Entertainment president Jim Ryan revealed that Sony is currently working on plans to purchase more gaming studios as a counter to Microsoft's recent studio purchasing spree.
https://www.destructoid.com/sony-int...n-559292.phtml

* Based on Remedy Entertainment's recent investor's meeting, the company has gained back the rights to the Alan Wake series from Microsoft. As part of the deal, Remedy was paid a one-time royalties fee of €2.5 million from Microsoft for all of 2019 and in return, the rights to the series reverted back to the studio's ownership.

If the game was just the Hank-Connor stuff, it arguably would have been David Cage's best game ever. The other two stories are not as good overall and start to fall apart in quality around mid-way depending on your choices, especially the Markus "Moses" stuff.

I mean, I'm thinking of giving it a chance, but I wouldn't be terribly surprised if I just "nope" it right back off my PS4 out of boredom before I see the story wraps.

I'd also heard tell that one of the voice actors' performances is pretty flat, but like I said, I suppose I can give it at least a fair chance.

That's a sweet tribute for River City Ransom.

I know Arc System Works snatched up the Technos Japan IPs from Million. But if some of the key people still alive gave their blessing for this, then that's even better.

So Activision/Blizzard is hiring for the same positions they vacated when they laid off 800 employees following their most successful financial year ever.

Jesus man, this industry.

Didn't help that when the former community manager of Hearthstone brought this up on Twitter, she got blocked by the game's current community manager.

Her main issue was the lack of effort or care by Activision & Blizzard to first hire back as much of their old staff as possible and former employees only finding out about this via outside reports.

Nintendo recently confirmed rumors of a Switch Lite model is currently in production.

Unlike the regular Switch, the Lite model is portable-only, has an actual d-pad, and has a smaller screen size (5.5 vs. 6.2 inches).

In terms of improvements, it weights around 1/4th less, has a stronger battery, and an upgraded chip design for performance boosts and less overheating.

In terms of pricing, it will be $199.99 and launches on September 20th.

* For those interested in Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3, the only way to get the game's DLC packs is by purchasing the game's Season Pass. It will cost $19.99 and covers 3 DLC packs with the first arriving this Fall.

* For those interested in Marvel's Avengers, Square Enix reportedly will not be releasing the game's debut gameplay trailer to the public and instead it will be a San Diego Comic Con exclusive for attendees.
