That early access buy-in for Star Wars Outlaws has gotten even worse. PS5 players are getting their progress reverted by a hot patch, making the early access period more like a $110 demo.

Concord will be going down on Friday, and it sounds like players will be getting refunds. After eight years of development, the game will be killed after fourteen days of wide release.

At least Valve takes time which usually is worth the wait.

Space Marine 2 already appears to be a success, before it even releases.

Ubisoft’s stock has fallen to its lowest price since early 2014, and shareholders finally seem to be fed up. There are some rumblings of an attempted takeover, another shareholder suggested they pack it in and go private, but it seems like something is going to happen. Probably not yet, though. Ubisoft lied about Shadows just as hard as they lied about Outlaws during the recent investor call, and now the market is waiting to see if Ubi’s final big release of the year is as much of a disaster as the previous two. If AC Shadows bombs, the stock will drop again, potentially approaching all-time lows, and we could see a board fight.
