    Grand Theft Auto VI pre orders go live tomorrow, physical release limited to code in box

    You do understand the point of GKCs right? It's a way to preserve the second hand market while giving publishers a cheaper alternative to cartridges. With the exception of Pokopia, no first party nintendo games use GKCs so it's just the devs with the low effort ports that were going to just put...

    Grand Theft Auto VI pre orders go live tomorrow, physical release limited to code in box

    No, it's simply cheaper to put a code on a piece of paper in the box than it is to buy and burn a disk. The no reselling is just a bonus.

    Former Capcom employee defends Nintendo's Game-Key Cards, says it protects the industry

    They are defending the game key cards entirely in the wrong way. I stand by my opinion that they are not a bad thing. They give developers who already weren't going to release games on the game cartridge another option other than paying for a cartridge that contains the entire game. We already...

    Tutorial How to unpack and repack Unreal Engine 4 files

    Anyone have experience in getting an online game to load the modified pack files? The game in question does a call home at initialization to get a list of files with their md5 hashes for verification but, even when I intercept that and change it to the md5 hash of my modified file, it doesn't...

    Valve is delisting "adult games" from Steam in order to comply with payment processors

    So for the first one, steam already has features in place for games to block purchase in certain countries due to regulations or copyright issues. If these games were not blocking themselves for purchase in countries where these topics are illegal then it would be on the individual country to...

    Valve is delisting "adult games" from Steam in order to comply with payment processors

    So none of the games removed are going to be missed as they were some pretty awful games. However, the issue is that payment processors are able to do this in the first place. It's not really the place of a payment processor to decide what someone can buy or sell on a platform they don't own and...

    Denuvo unveils new technology "TraceMark" aimed to watermark and easily trace leaked games

    Pokemon Presents February 27th - Pokemon Scarlet and Violet announced

    I was hoping they would take their time and give them plenty of time to polish the next entry. The switch can do a lot better graphically than gamefreak has been producing. And honestly if a game is only on one console it should run perfectly with maybe once or twice a playthrough fps hitches...
