Game getting pulled from Steam and issuing refunds.
A variety of new updates are available this month across the gaming platforms. Coming today, Retro Classics games are available to play for Xbox Game Pass members. Players who stream on the Xbox app on PC now have an additional streaming option with GeForce Now. Game Bar introduces quick settings, visual updates for Widgets in Compact Mode, and coming soon, Microsoft Edge Game Assist, an in-game browser that brings an immersive game-centric experience to Edge. And Xbox gift cards can now be redeemed for any amount via Xbox Rewards.
While i appreciate the gesture.... all of these retro classics have been made available everywhere else. I am hoping to see some other Activision properties make their way out of the shackles of the 5th, 6th and 7th gen. Licensing be damned... bring back the Transformers Cybertron games.
Love the Cybertron games! TF games have been shit lately. Would love to see that era revisited. I even did the multiplayer!
Metaphor on Gamepass just announced! O.o
Seriously, this is the best generation of Xbox ever!!!
We can´t catch a freaking break from awesome games arriving all the time!!!
It’s a HELL of a game. If you like JRPGs in the family of Persona, you will be in heaven… that is until you hear the various battle music…. then you’ll be somewhere BEYOND heaven!
SAG-AFTRA Files Over A.I. Darth Vader in Fortnite claiming this was done without notification and has filed accordingly.
It's just a complaint, not a lawsuit, and it's completely unwarranted.
James earl jones sold his voice for use for Darth Vader after his passing and his estate said they approved it.
So i don't know why SAG is getting involved as it makes it seem like they are going against james earl jones wishes or just wanted a cut...
They are concerned about A.I. replacing live talent. It's an unusual stance as you are correct; he left his voice and his family approved. The union is saying doing this versus using a live actor sets a bad precedent going forward. The use of A.I. has been a huge issue in the recent labor deals.
Well this is also an interactive AI Darth Vader that would have made live talent impossible unless they think a actor being in Fortnight 24/7 is an acceptable solution.
They should concentrate on cases that are possible to be done with live talent and that haven't been given blessing or sold by the original actor(for which they should have the right to sell)
"James earl jones sold his voice for use for Darth Vader after his passing and his estate said they approved it."
I have to say if James approved this after his death... that would be... um...
Do you mean he approved it while he was alive for when he passed?
It's reported that he gave permission before his death and his estate(which i asume is his family) says so as well.
Because SAG-AFTRA are trade unions. They are the Hollywood mafia protecting their profits from anything they feel could undermine them. It's all about the almighty dollar, not artists.
James Earl Jones doesn't own the character, though. He essentially said the owners of the IP can use his voice however they wish, not everyone.
The saga of the legal battle that sees Epic Games fight Apple in the attempt to bring Fortnite back to iOS has just gained another chapter.
Another multiplayer game dies.
That is very unusual. Closing a game without any sort of explanation.
It might be because the game failed to gather a player base. But if that is the case, kudos to the developers for offering refunds.
Some are saying that they got a cease and desist from Warner or from J.K Rowling. But I find that hard to believe because as far as I know there wasn't anything directed related with the Harry Potter franchise. Even the game itself while similar to quidditch in concept, plays with a different set of rules.
