*Just a note: I'm sorry the Daily Visit score isn't more 'every day' instead of its current 'every 24h1m', but that is just the front end tracking for you guys and when we run the lotto we pull from a more accurate list. So for those of you visiting every day diligently but not triggering the Daily Visit score reward, don't stress about it!

July winners Coming Soon...
Shenmue: Reclaiming the Path is a fan game using Dreamcast-era visuals, and tells a new story within the Shenmue saga taking place in both Hong Kong and Guilin. Its expected to release on September 16th.
Something about recreating old school graphics in an era of HD high poly photo realism just hits a spot. I'm not nostalgic cause I mostly played GameCube and GB/A, but it's a visual style that gets over looked even by indies.
As part of its plans to cut 1,900 jobs, Microsoft has reportedly shut down operations at Bethesda France, letting go roughly 15 people
Bethesda France was made up of roughly 15 people... they couldn't of being doing much
Bethesda France mainly did publishing and marketing within the region
Bethesda France focused on publishing and marketing in the region. And 15 people lost their jobs as part of the closure.
I wonder if this is part of Microsoft's strategy to abandoned physical media or possibly gamepass advertising makes their roles redundant you don't need to market a game as hard when the majority of players get the game as part of a sub which already promoted upcoming games
While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.
Good luck all!
I remember when I won the loyalty daily visit comp. Was a real surprise. Would love to win again :D
Awesome!
There are so many amazing writers on here I am sure it will be difficult to choose who wins. I'll be reading up on the winners so I can learn to improve my style for sure!
The amount of blogs hitting on interesting cultural subjects throughout July was impressive. Hope this month turns out the same, if not better.
Good luck to everybody, and Cat...MAKE WITH THE DAMN PRIZES!
