I honestly never expected to see a sequel to this. Especially with Ubisoft's lack of caring for anything for anything but the big open world games anymore. Apparently Netflix bankrolled this.

Looks promising. Like I want to go replay the first game again and just considering that makes me want to cry because that game brings the feels to me bigtime.

DO. NOT. FUCK. THIS. UP.

Because it takes place during World War I or because the game is developed by Ubisoft? Is it both?

The former, though Ubisoft is brain destroying for a totally different reason.

Oh goddmanit, it's a Netflix exclusive for mobiles and tablets.

Well, maybe it'll be a timed exclusive? I hate the idea of having to go through netflix and use a mobile to play it.

Feds Sue To Prevent Microsoft’s Activision Deal From Going Through [Update]

The Federal Trade Commission has moved to block the acquisition on grounds that it would give the Xbox maker too much power

This is one time I’d prefer Microsoft to win out, if only do they can go around Blizzard’s office with a club marked ‘Code of Conduct’ and start walloping all these would be rock star cubicle crawlers across the face with it.

But oh well, easy come easy go

Why make something new when you have people willing to pay for old games forever?

What will the XBOX GAMERZ do when they get bored of all the old games? What will they have after 500+ games?

The sad, fucked up thing though is that it shouldn’t take a buyout courtesy of a gajillion dollar megacorp to do so.

No it shouldn’t, but I’ll take what I can get.

Fortnite class-action lawsuit can proceed, says Canadian court (msn.com)

Three parents from Quebec are suing Epic Games for intentionally designing the battle royale to be "highly addictive" and state that their children, according to CTV, allegedly developed "severe addictions" to the game, which included spending hundreds of dollars in-game, sometimes without parental consent.

IDK, kinda feels like parents have half the responsibility of controlling what their children can and cannot access. As much as I hate fortnite, especially their near predatory monetization targetting younger kids, parents also need to work on how to raise their kids and be careful about where they are opening their wallets.

Exactly. Epic can't exactly share all the blame in this case. The parents must know and be aware with what their kids are buying or playing. The whole I don't know what they were doing or playing ignorance is not an excuse at all. Quit using these games (or TV shows and web personalities) as a source of education or babysitter for the kids. You are the parent and they are the child. Treat them as such and not as your "friend" (who you are constantly trying to please) or just some random roommate.

February 16 will see EA end the multiplayer support for a few Medal of Honor titles, including Medal of Honor 2011, Medal of Honor: Airborne, and Medal of Honor: Warfighter.

What? Those MOH games were still online? Weren't they considered shit on arrival and dead player base not long after the launch
