All that stands between you and your freedom is a perfectly executed escape plan.
The developer of the Kickstarted indie adventure Spud’s Quest has just announced his next project. It’s called The Escapists, and it will attempt to breathe life into the dormant prison break genre.
A wild scene unfolded last night as long-time gaming site The Escapist fired some of its team members, including EIC Nick Calandra, for reportedly not meeting goals set by its parent company Gamurs.
RIP Zero Punctuation🥺😢 I hope all the video department employees that left the best of luck and hope they start a new site of their own.
Many of them have already started working on a new platform for content called "Second Wind". So we can expect good things for sure!

Htogaming is about to drop a countdown of the top 10 most pirated games of 2015 for pc. Just to clarify, I am not meaning the kind of pirate that plunders ships at sea “That was supposed to be funny”.
Wow so much for the arugument that pirated games don't effect sales! I mean these hard working companies like CD Project Red and others are losing 10's of millions of dollars! It's no wonder they all are trying to combat this...
it's misleading to suggest all games pirated are not any lost sales. people pirate because they can, it has little to do with affordability. plus as we can see by this list it affects aaa games that get excellent reviews, shoddy games, indie games. you name it. so the argument they do it because it's not worth buying is also a load of crap.
@moldybread, by ur logic rise of tomb raider should have more sales thn fallout 4? coz tht game isnt cracked.
@cartoonx1
"by ur logic rise of tomb raider should have more sales thn fallout 4? coz tht game isnt cracked."
diablo 3 wasn't cracked and it sold millions. how can one conclude that if pc games could not be pirated that there would not be an increase in sales? you can't. listing one game isn't going to win the argument. people who pirate can simply get another game instead.
we already witnessed the fall of music sales once it was easy to download music for free. it's pretty easy to see the correlation between the two.
There is no argument in favour OR against piracy hurting game sales because there is no way to prove that each game download is equal to a lost sale.
For example I have torrented many games that I already own. There are many reasons to 'illegally' download a game other than to outright steal it.
What do you mean? Of course each game downloaded has a value, if it didn't people would never pirate games at all. There is value in all things!
I read that Just Cause 3 hasn't been cracked, yet. Why is it on a list for 2015?
I like how those games are still hits, especially Fallout 4.
Also, Just Cause has no place on this list, because it has DENUVO, which renders it uncrackable as of now, so yeah...
Same applies to Fifa 16. Although Fifa 15 and Dragon Age Inquisition also had Denuvo and cracks are available.
I wouldn't be too concerned regarding piracy as I'm reasonably certain that impacts on sales are reasonably low. The argument being that those who pirate a game wouldn't necessarily have purchased the game had pirating not been an option.
That said I do believe single player games are impacted significantly more than multi player games simply because accessing servers on a cracked copy of a game isn't a possibility.
LMFAO @ Just Cause 3!
Yeah people can download it all they like.
They can't play it XD
No crack has been released yet Just Cause of Denuvo.
How can you 'pirate' something you can not even use.
Stupid article is stupid, maybe try and do a TINY bit of research before hand aye?
Of course you can pirate something that's not cracked,i might have a copy of JC3 sitting around in case its needed.
because it's stupid article, not all people download from torrents are pirate, some of them preload the game from it.
and i love how the witcher 3 doesn't have any DRM and takes 8th place when it was the biggest game last year.
3DM has announced "3DM recently will announce the latest Denuvo encryption solutions can be work on, "FIFA 16" "Just Cause 3" ": The Rise Tomb Raider. this is not an official high-profile release. recently a lot players believe that we are abandonment cracking the Denuvo due to technical issue, but to prove it is not the case, so far we have not yet been stumped"...
I'd like to know how those numbers were reached,imagination i guess.
The best propaganda is that created by the recipients lol.
The website that the author used as a source operates on torrents which keep track of some information, which is available to anyone such as the number of current downloaders, the number of uploaders and the number of times downloaded.
I know that it´s hard to believe that Team 17 has been around for 25 years, but it´s true. As the studio opened up its doors back in December 1990 (on the 7th of December to be exact). Anyhow, Team 17 is preparing to celebrate its 25th birthday on the 7th of December. And that means tons of fun for everyone.
For sure ;) In fact, Team 17 are playing around with different VR headsets right now.
Worms 5 "might" actually be in the works. I asked Team 17 about that, but they couldn´t comment on it for now.
Worms was a blast.. thanks for this article, i actually forgot all about this legendary series.
Yes indeed =) I grew up playing the old school Worms games ;) Anytime! Don´t forget to check out our interview with Team 17 as well =) http://thegg.net/interviews...
Do you have any personal favourites? I used to play a lot of Alien Breed, Worms and Project-X back in the days.
Ultimate Body Blows, Super Stardust and of course the ones you mentioned. Had them for CD32 also.
@brianunfried
I do remember Super Stardust, my friend and I used to play it a lot at the time =) Nice ;)
The Alien Breed Trilogy was awesome. If you haven't played it -it's a really dynamic isometric space shooter with fantastic graphics and remains one of my favourite games of all time. Happy 25th Team 17! Please give me more Alien Breed.
