Following Steam’s purge of NSFW games at the behest of payment processors (Visa and Mastercard), itch.io has also been targeted and forced to cull any and all NSFW-labeled games from its platform. Though the games targeted could be argued against on moral grounds, it is no right of payment processors to police speech and force their own “ethics.” A few days ago, Steam was forced to pull the plug on a large number of NSFW games, primarily those containing certain darker and, arguably, immoral themes and scenes which I won’t directly name (thanks Wccftech)....

We might need a new Pokedex just for Pokeglitches ThePokemonseries has endured for so long that those of us who witnessed its beginning can already tell our tales to the younger trainers like we were community elders. Don’t blame us, though, as the world of Pokemon really did use to host some of the weirdest glitches in the history of gaming. The seas of Kanto hid a real Lovecraftian nightmare There’s no better tale of terror set at sea than an encounter with MissingNo....

There seem to be two kinds of people in DayZ: Friendly and alive DayZis a lot of things to a lot of different people. For some, it’s a chance to test their mettle against an overtly hostile world that would like nothing better than to see them die cold, hungry and alone. For others, it’s a virtual playground for unleashing their inner troll; killing on site for nothing more than a chuckle, or torturing other players simply because there is no one to stop them....

You done good, Kid The Kid just rages for a while. He knows it’s a fool’s errand to try to rage forever. He’s smarter than that. The Kid has already seen one Calamity and that’s enough for a lifetime. Come December 15, The Kid figured it’d be best for everyone ifBastionweren’t priced so low anymore. “Just $3 is ridiculous,” he thought. “Best to knock that back up to $15.” Again, they can’t rage forever....

Good will burning Animal Crossingon mobile seemed like a sure bet when Nintendo announced it. The title would serve as the third game in the company’s mobile pillar.

And yet,Animal Crossing: Pocket Campnever really took off....

Thedual-wielding Samus figure auctionfor $2500 was pretty crazy, but the newest one is the jawless Diddy Kong listing that ended up selling for $400. Oddly enoughthis dual-wielding Pitis struggling to reach $100....
