Every now and then, app developers decide to change up their monetization model a little, and this can usually make a big impact on the game’s cost, the adverts and the in-app purchases. In this case, there are a few great paid iOS games that have just gone free, and you may want to get your hands on them before the developers put a price tag back on them.
New Zealand's PikPok has released their relaxing new cat adoption simulator for both Android and iOS.
Level Infinite has announced strategy game Command & Conquer: Legions for iOS and Android via a licensing agreement with intellectual property owner Electronic Arts.
More mobile games. Can't believe the last command and conquer game was Tiberian Twilight not only was it a awful game. It was 13 years ago.
EA have been trying to shoehorn C&C into a live service/ mobile game since 2009 it's not happening now give us another generals
Disgusting that this IP has outside of the excellent C&C Remastered been regulated to awful mobile games.
Command and Conquer should have had a passionate team assigned and come roaring back years ago.
If we needed further evidence that EA is dumb as hell with their IP, behold their latest blunder
A new report found that video games can help alleviate depression and anxiety, potentially expanding access to mental health care worldwide.
Video Games helped get me through some dark dark times. 20 years ago I was in a near fatal car accident. Broke my neck in 3 places, collapsed lung, aneurysm etc etc. I barely survived, but what's worse was that I was attending one of the top art colleges in the States at that time.... and I was taken out, unable to finish, even to this day. Mounting debts, and my dreams shattered... I was thrust into a very dark place for many years. I wanted nothing more than to die for most of my 20s... even tried, and failed...
I still remember the days of laying in a hospital bed donated to my parent's house for months on end playing games, a halo brace bolted to my head. It's all I would do besides sleep, bc it's all I could do. If I didn't have the escapism of games, I'm not sure what I would have done.
Life got better though, now married w 2 kids and a career. Some of you guys will hit unexpected tragic events like this, and it's alright to "escape". Just don't forget to live again. I'm happy to have found my balance, and will never stop gaming as long as I live. I'm introducing my 2 little ones to gaming now and love every minute of it.
I'm happy to acknowledge how much games helped me escape that dark place I was at for years. For everyone fighting this battle, I am with you and understand.
I can only imagine how cathartic, therapeutic it would have been to have had VR during those beginning years! I did find out how great PSVR was for escapism during Covid lockdowns though!
I do like how this article talks about communities, how building friendships w seemingly random strangers w shared passion can help. I got into clan matches on Unreal Tournament and Quake 3, made a lot of friends during that time. This was right before PS2 and OG XBox first came out, so I was somewhere between jrpgs on PS1 (which were incredible escapism too!) and PC MP gaming. It's actually where the first iteration of my OtterX name started!
Thank you @autobotdan, I appreciate it. Things are certainly better, but we'll always have new and different struggles. It's always good to escape for a while and get your mind off things, engross yourself in another world and experience.
I was in a near death accident with a crazy drunk driver back in 2010 that knocked me into a coma and i had small brain damage. I still feel the effects of that 2010 accident in 2023. Video games have helped me think better and focus better everyday since. One of the best medicines
