Subnautica 2, Forza Horizon 6, and Lego Batman all leaked before the release.
Playground Games announced that everyone who played the leaked FH6, will be permanently banned by the account and by their hardware in all Forza Horizon games. And some players were already banned even if they pre-ordered the premium edition and own every single game of the series. But were tempted to start a week earlier — still permanently banned and proposed to refund.
IMO: damn overreaction

Perfect!

Just met an adorable African gray (Psittacus) named Barry (but it's a girl). It's 17, lives in a tiny pet shop, talks, dances, all the stuff. The owner allows it to hang outside of the cage, it looks happy.
Another one lives in a cafe nearby, and a whole bunch of them lives in a local zoo as well. Sadly, one of the zoo grays is seemingly a home bird, so 20 crazy neighbours are screaming around it and it says "hello" to humans and suspiciously look around.
They are extremely social, sensitive, require tons of care, and most likely outlive their owners (they live up to 80 years). And way too many of them are being taken from nature to only end up as neglected or abandoned.

Bring us the girl and wipe away the debt!
Just decided to replay Bioshock Infinite and it's both extremely limited by the technology of its time and fairly solid.

Crazy Engineering story of Nissan getting around the rules by storing tons of energy in a 100 000 RPM flywheel.
Which they've had to wrap into carbon fibre and place into vacuum box, then simulate all racing tracks with the special software to make it actually usable and find the sweet spot between two energy sources.

The original Tiny Tina's Wonderlands is extremely nice and you probably have it on Steam since it was free to keep:
Our heroes spend the gaming night after the events of Borderlands 2. There are tons of cultural references, dorky jokes, and such. But there's also sadness since they gave to process the loss.
The voice of Tina is also the writer of the game (and Borderlands 2), one of the writers on Adventure Time, the voice of Aloy in HZD, and Chloe in Life is Strange.

After Nacon publishing house killed The Spiders (Greedfall, Steelrising, The Technomancer), they moved on to Big Bad Wolf (The Council, Vampire: The Masquerade — Swansong, Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss). The company will be fully closed now. Their parent company Cyanide is also insolvent.
Kylotonn, The creators of Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown will be hit differently: their studio will shrink from 120 to ~30 people soon. Which makes it nearly impossible to operate a live-service racing game in a reasonable pace.

Batora, the game I picked some time ago on sale, is the most "Californian writing" example ever (maybe the second place after Forspoken or the third one after the last Saints Row).
Why do they even do it? No one talks like that...
It's also a fairly competent isometric combat game with two different states to fight physical and mental enemies.
But only approximately 52% of people made it 10 minutes into the story to obtain both powers. That number must be at least 80% for a healthy game. And people apparently dropped it right away.

Also, it seems like you can be banned by EA for saying "you autistic?"
They're obviously doing so since it must be written as "Are you autistic?" or "You're autistic?" Grammar matters!

Over the last couple of years I intentionally added all reasonable free to play multiplayer games to my Steam account. Dozens of games to simply look after the industry.
Many of them were just released
Most of them are already closed
Like literally: end of line, support termination, we took a tough decision to take the game offline. Party games, competitive games, and so on. I haven't even played most of them and never will. Often they don't even announce it — the server just goes offline and the game ends up unable to connect.
Were they that bad? Nope, but the whole market is oversaturated and there's barely any place left to conquer. Make solo games, folks, they are timeless.

A few years ago players used the legendary Dark Souls warning system (which only supports predefined words) to tell that amazing chest is ahead... ones who opened the door were greeted by this 👀
The second version will be in the chat...

This game has been wishlisted over 700 000 times 😎 [coming in June]. And it all started in 1996 from a poorly animated 3D cartoon.

Mixtape peaked at 1800 CCU on Steam, got positive reviews, and overall seems like a curious experience:
- Great music (Joy Division, Smashing Pumpkins, Iggy Pop, The Cure, and more)
- Dorky minigames
- Happy meets sad vibes
A good reminder to our inner kids to stay in touch with others. And more similar to Split Fiction than Life is Strange in terms of the gameplay vibes.

There's something terribly wrong going on with The Finals:
Embark is banning people even for accessibility controllers and players started to research the issue, but got deeper than expected.
- They apparently removed anticheat for pro players (secretly, then confirmed it by saying it was due to massive reports on their exceptional skill levels)
- They made a special discord for selected pro players where they have tons of privileges
- They ban average users with one request from pro players and without clear investigation
The same company also operates Arc Raiders. Which is far less competitive but still...

Tom's Diner is the song used to calibrate MP3. Not a certain MP3, the whole file format was tuned by Karlheinz Brandenburg to prevent loss of any audible details from the original acapella:
