Boycott Microsoft. I am no longer asking Hey y’all, I am deep in the weeds putting together No Escape’s first major retrospective right now, a book I’m calling Escape Velocity, so I haven’t really been playing many…

I feel like this is pretty self-explanatory.

I first played it when I was 12 and I remember not getting it right back then. I really loved it but many of its systems were hard to understand for me. Like, you had weapons with elements and, in theory, you should do more damage and than you did basically nothing. Took me some time to understand:D

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

VILE: Exhumed may be banned for sale, but I refuse to let that stop people from playing the game.

It’s now available, for free, at WWW.VILEISBANNED.COM

Please share the site, share the game, and fuck anyone who tries to control storytelling and expression.

Yeah :D But it always made you feel like you figured out something very difficult, on your own. I remember noting down all these passwords in the booklet like „nobody else is going to get this right!!“

Front Mission 3.
I spend hours, not only on the battlefields, but in the absurdly cool internet they crafted with hints and hidden sites. I was absolutely blown away by the crazy good world building and immersion.
I mean, you rarely unlocked anything on these hidden sites but you got secret lore <3

Freedom To Buy Join the 48-hour giveaway and stand for the freedom to buy games.

This is extremely cool. GOG is taking a stand against payment processors caving to fundamentalist religious groups and is offering a bunch of "banned" games for free.

Why did thousands of adult titles just disappear from the biggest PC gaming marketplaces? Digital distribution platforms Steam and itch.io have tightened their rules about adult content – under pressure from payment processors. Why has this happened and where will it lead?

Steam and itch.io have removed thousands of video games in recent weeks deemed to be "adult content" in order to comply with strict rules from payment processors like Mastercard.

These policies censor artists engaged in lawful speech. Mastercard shouldn't be the gatekeepers of our digital freedom.
