Genshin Impact is about to be required by law to age-gate their game, they are the only game affected by this, literally 1 of 1 the FTC is forcing to do this
No one knows whether it's going to be ID verification, or just a normal age-dropdown selector
Unirronically
Probably because the outgoing director of the FTC hated how much his daughter spent on Genshin
It doesn't apply to other games, not even other Mihoyo games
It is specifically a "fuck Genshin" policy
If Mihoyo was an American company, I actually think Congress might be sympathetic to reigning in the FTC (or passing some broad but consistent "protecting child gamers" bill)
I don't think Notch is impressed by GTA6

The opening of the game is at ~45 seconds
you spawn into the slums and immediately murder a woman
The fantasy of every Indian boy

Europa Universalis 5 Stream 5/8/2025 12:00 PM
yes, they abandoned it though
Imperator: Rome
and previously, Europa Universalis: SPQR
That would be the funniest bait and switch
abandon their Rome game, to make a better Rome game
peak Paradox
but no, it's EU5, dates are (likely) 1337-->1835
which will be ambitious, because it's going to require multiple different eras of mechanics, which they've not really done in their grand strategies before
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 yes, they abandoned it though
despite being abandoned its pretty good
Paradox has been weirdly non-committal on side project games for a while now
I feel bad for Imperator
it didn't really get a chance
Canceling their Cold War game East vs West is still the one I'm most disappointed about
And the more wargamey ones like March of the Eagles being killed
I'm playing a game rn that also has very strange controls on keyboard and they can't be remapped. I'm using a DualShock 4, which apparently doesn't have support, but the automatic mapping is much more intuitive

To be more specific, 'enter' is the only confirm button, and 'space' and 'e' are both skip buttons.
and 'backspace' is the only back button
geoguesser becoming paid killed all goodwill I had for it
have the one, basic gamemode free, limit it or w/e idc
they went the subscription route a while ago, and people paid for it so they kept it
it's $30/year I think
though they may run sales sometimes
