The ‘Fallout 76’ Controversy Timeline – [Update: Jan. 2020]
The Never-Ending and Chronological Saga of Fallout 76. In light of the recent Fallout 76 helmet situation, I think it’s about time someone made this list, so I decided ‘why not me’. Someone on Reddit did attempt making something like this before, but it is no longer being updated. [May 2018] Announcement of Fallout 76. Bethesda announces Fallout 76, but the rumours surrounding it being an online survival RPG makes fans nervous, especially since the Fallout series is known for its single-player campaign. Bethesda also gets cocky by taking pre-orders for the game despite only releasing a teaser trailer. As more information released, Bethesda hypes the game up at E3 and reveals that the game won’t have NPCs during the E3 Bethesda Press Conference on June 10th, 2018. On August 6th 2018, Bethesda revealed to PCGamer that the game won’t be releasing on Steam,…
The Goals of Suicide Squad: Hell To Pay’s Enemies Make No Sense.
Otherwise, it was a great movie. This is a bit different from what I usually write here on Bethania Arts. In case some of you don’t know, it’s not often I watch movies. My passion is gaming so my free time goes there. But when I do watch movies, I tend to watch those of the superhero genre, especially the ones of the DC Animated Universe. I’m not really here to give an in-depth review of the Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay movie, but regardless, I’ll give my opinion on it. First off, I would say it’s definitely one of my favourite DC Animated movies. You get a lot of fan favourite villians, emotional tension that develops characters like Deadshot, and to make it all better, the animation quality is top-notch. Overall, I would give it a lenient five out of five stars. But don’t…
Saying Goodbye To Kik Messenger.
You won’t be forgotten, ol’ friend. The news broke that the instant messaging app Kik is shutting down due a “legal battle against the US Securities and Exchange Commission over its digital currency offering”, as Telegraph’s ‘Natasha Bernal’ puts it. This came as a complete surprise to me and it’s almost heartbreaking to see the app that I have so much personal history with is going to disappear. I didn’t use the app all that much recently, but I still found it pretty useful every now and again for when I needed to disconnect from socially interacting with my friends. Kik is where I met one of my closest friends who have supported me for years through my endeavours. They still do, and they were actually the first person I told when I read the news. He wasn’t as surprised as I was though as he…
French Court Pressures Valve To Allow The Resale Of Digital Games, But It Could Hurt Indie Devs.
The consumer benefits, but will it be worth it? Last week, the news broke that the High Court of Paris ruled that Valve has to allow European customers to freely resell the digital games they bought on the Steam store, a benefit that is usually exclusive to physical media. The ruling is a result of the European Union Law for digital goods stipulating that they can be resold without the original seller’s permission. Of course, Valve wasn’t going to just kneel over and agree with it, so they have predictably appealed the decision. The court is giving Valve three months to get their terms of service to comply with European law. “We disagree with the decision of the Paris Court of First Instance and will appeal it,” a Valve spokesperson told Polygon in an emailed statement. “The decision will have no effect on Steam while the case…
