Still overpriced.Anthem, BioWare's Doomed Loot Shooter, Now A Penny At GameStop
BioWare's ill-fated attempt to cash in on the loot shooter craze reaches a new low
I'm reminded of Noah Caldwell Gervais's review of Aliens: Colonial Marines where he said "I got the entire game, DLC and all, on a deep discount sale for $7 and spent about 8 hours of my life playing it. After finishing I felt ripped off and I wanted those 8 hours of my life back".
Also, is anyone even still playing anthem? Isn't it a multiplayer focused game which means you're messing around with a bunch of bots and that's apparently not what the game is built around? Fuck, I keep forgetting it was even a thing until someone reminds me of it's existence, so when the news came it was being abandoned, there was that "Oh, wait, that's still a thing?"

For that price, of something that will essentially only play what a toaster CPU can now emulate for free, they can get fucked sideways.
LEGO releasing Atari 2600 video game console set, honoring 1980s nostalgia
For Atari’s 50th anniversary, LEGO is releasing a new set based on the 1980-version of the Atari 2600 video game console. The new set will cost $239.99.www.foxbusiness.com
*edit*. Nevermind, I completely misread this as Atari releasing a mini version of the 2600 console.
Still overpriced by Lego though, so point kinda still stands actually.
Definitely need more people like her.
I know so.
Look, I'm not saying every video game needs a consultant, but it does help to avoid blind spots or setting off unfortunate implications. Whether it be culturally related, sexually related gender related, or race related. It's not a sign of weakness, it's a sign of strength and of the developers caring about their end product. Then then caring about their target audience and those are trying to sell to. I know there will be those that will use it for the most superfluous reasons, but that's not everyone and those types can still screw off. Besides, we all know that there have been plenty of companies that use different countries, cultures or races as punching bags, or using them for shallow politics that acts like they want to say something, but actually says nothing. Yet many of these same AAA companies talk about how they're "apolitical, non political, or political neutral". Bitches with nothing to offer, and only care for the status quo.
I won't go any further with this. I will add that as long as consultant and the parties involved care about what they're doing, then it's not a bad idea and beneficial.
Ghost of Tsushima is a good example.

Valve won’t allow awards and reviews on Steam store images starting in September
It could be a big change for developers.
TL;DR
Games on Steam are longer allowed to have awards and review scores/quotes on their pages.
I.E. "This game is amazing! -Polygon", "10/10 -IGN", "Already started another run -Game Informer"
Good on them, I was tired of seeing mediocre/terrible games pretending to be otherwise

FOR REAL. It's not like we live in a fantasy world where gamers can tell what games are good or bad (both objectively and subjectively)
