Baldur’s Gate 3: One Year Later
2.8.2024
For Baldur’s Gate 3’s biggest fans who haven’t stopped talking and thinking about it since it launched, it probably doesn’t feel like Larian Studio’s Dungeons & Dragons RPG was released a year ago. Yet, here we are, a full trip around the sun since the RPG left early access and was finally...
Greedy Publishers Have Won And Normalized Paying To Play Early
17.7.2024
Last year, a growing trend saw AAA video game publishers offering early access to new games if you pre-ordered a pricey special edition version. I worried then that if some publishers were successful in locking games behind a ransom fee, many others would do the same in the future. And here we...

Hades 2's First Patch Makes You Faster
16.5.2024
Supergiant Games’ roguelike Hades 2 has been out in early access for a little over a week and a half and it’s been a pretty wonderful (and disgustingly hot) time so far. However, some players have had difficulty adjusting to protagonist Melinoë’s dash, as well as her ability to sprint. Luckily...

Valve Closes Loophole Some Steam Users Were Exploiting For Refunds
24.4.2024
Steam has an oft-exploited refund policy, whereby any player is able to request their money back for a game that they bought within the last 14 days, and played for less than two hours. (Selling a game that’s shorter than two hours? Sucks to be you.) But it seems that people buying games with...

Baldur’s Gate 3 Developer’s Next Game Will Likely Be Early Access, Too
5.4.2024
It’d be quaint to suggest that Baldur’s Gate 3 was just another big-ass game. The hit RPG launched out of early access late last year and positively took the world by storm, becoming the fixation of everyone near and dear to me. It set records and brought significantly more attention to Larian,...

8.2.2024

Suicide Squad Gives Early Access Players Play Money After Dreadful Launch
31.1.2024
It’s fair to say that Suicide Squad:Kill the Justice League’s launch isn’t going great so far. Following a brutal run of previews, and a splendidly petulant attempt to turn the narrative, the game’s few days of paid early access have been dirty with downtime. In an apparent attempt at crisis...
If Publishers Want To Charge Players For Early Access, The Servers Have To Work
29.1.2024
Last year, we saw the rise of video game publishers offering a few days of early access to big AAA games for a price. This year, it’s only going to get worse as it seems every large game publisher is holding games hostage and charging players a ransom fee to play a few days early. But what happens...
The Baldur’s Gate 3 Game Of The Year Speech You Didn’t Get To Hear
14.12.2023
The 2023 Game Awards was full of new trailers and announcements but light on actual awards. Host Geoff Keighley ended up speedrunning through many of them, ultimately denying the winners an acceptance speech or cutting them off before they could finish one. Fortunately, some of the devs behind...
