In the world of gaming, Bungie has been caught red-handed using stolen artwork in Marathon, courtesy of the talented artist Anti-real. The studio tried to shift the blame onto a former employee, promising compensation and tighter review processes. But this isn't the first time Bungie's been accused of plagiarism, with allegations of lifting content for Destiny 2's storyline and collaborations. Meanwhile, Star Citizen is under fire for its aggressive monetization tactics involving ship blades, leaving fans disgruntled despite the release of the impressive Iddris spaceship. On the bright side, the original Stalker games are getting remastered, promising enhanced graphics and bug fixes, much to the delight of console players.
Over in the console world, PlayStation 5 exclusive Stellar Blade is facing obstacles in roughly 130 countries due to its PSN login system. The game's PC release is imminent, accompanied by a significant update for the PS5 version. Apple's ongoing battle with Fortnite continues, with the tech giant facing uncertainty over the game's return to the iOS app store following court orders. EA, on the other hand, is stirring controversy by ending full-time remote work, potentially leading to layoffs and talent retention issues. In brighter news, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 introduces the "Brushes with Death" DLC, offering players the chance to collaborate with the enigmatic artist Master Voita for shield customization options.
In a dramatic twist, game director Hideo Kojima reveals his posthumous plans by leaving a USB drive filled with game ideas for his staff. This move, inspired by a health scare during the pandemic, adds a touch of mystery and intrigue to the future of Kojima's creations. As the gaming industry navigates through controversies and innovations, the landscape remains dynamic and ever-changing, with each development bringing new challenges and opportunities for players and creators alike.
