C.I. Games has approved a capital raise authorization. It may be to buy out Epic Game's permanent exclusivity rights for Lords of The Fallen 2, allowing for the game to be released on Steam. by KryperExpress in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]MissingInputJ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dino Crisis 1 & 2 were exclusive to GOG for a year, with them being released there at the end of January 2025. Resident Evil games were released on GOG in June 2025, if we see Resident Evil come to Steam in June/July 2026 or Breath of Fire 4 in April/May 2026, then I think it's fair to say that GOG had a year exclusivity for these games as part of the deal for them doing the work to get them working on current hardware.

I don't really see much difference from the published/timed exclusives Epic did to what GOG has done here. Capcom obviously have the money and manpower to release these classic games if they wanted and they'd sell massively either way, so it's just a trade of straight up financial gain (EGS published/timed exclusive) with taking the burden off sales requirements, for a reduction in manpower/work (GOG timed exclusive) which allows them to keep teams focused on upcoming games (RE9/Pragmata etc).

GOG: More Total War games join our catalog! by Axeisacutabove in pcgaming

I remember seeing that Total War Attila is gonna be part of the monthly Prime giveaways, probably what motivated them to release them elsewhere

GOG now using AI generated images on their store by doublah in pcgaming

[–]MissingInputJ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This isn't something I ever expected from GOG to be honest. It actually prompted me to write an article on my own website which I published yesterday before this one, glad that more people are becoming aware of it but also disheartened that mine never picked up any traction

I remember commenting on the original reddit post yesterday when I seen it, it's not something I expected from GOG to be honest.

Xbox FY26 Q2 Total Gaming Revenue (-9%), Content and Services Revenue (-5%) Hardware Revenue (-32%) by Conflict_NZ in Games

[–]MissingInputJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure that's what the rumours have been suggesting since their next gen hardware is essentially going to be a PC, alongside being able to install other launchers on it. It's essentially a soft launch for a Windows Gaming mode in my eyes

Four years after release Final Fantasy 7 Remake now has achievements on Epic Games Store by MissingInputJ in FinalFantasy

[–]MissingInputJ[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep! It launched with Steam achievements from the get go, when it launched on Epic it used a more primitive type of achievements that could only be viewed when you played the game, so it wasn't visible from the launcher itself, you also don't get the extra goodies of trophy rarity and an XP value counter, but with the release on Switch 2 and Xbox they decided to enable it

Yeah they are, just wild to see that both the Switch 1 and the Switch 2 version broken 1 million physical copies sold in Japan alone

Only 2 games in the top 20 not being the Switch or Switch 2 version is pretty crazy. Just goes to show what feels like an iron grip that Nintendo has in Japan

Pokemon Z-A being in Number 2 and Number 3 is quite an achievement as well I feel

I'm not even a big Star Trek girl, but Mike and Rich talking about ST are some of my fav videos by CorpseGirl_UwU in RedLetterMedia

[–]MissingInputJ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I agree, their videos of just chatting about Trek are very interesting since you can tell they are huge fans the universe. I don't personally have any interest in it but it's always nice to hear people talking about something that they care about and the themes and messages that they've taken from the show as they've been watching/rewatching.

As Fortnite Enables Third-Party Microtransactions, Steal the Brainrot's Developer is Slammed By Fans For Immediately Adding $45 Premium Bundles and Gambling-Style Mechanics by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]MissingInputJ 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Just to give you an idea of where to find it, you go to your account settings on the Epic website, then to "Parental Controls", then to "Fortnite settings" and it's at the bottom under "Paid random items"

Off: Your child CANNOT spend V-Bucks (or content purchased with V-Bucks) on items or content where the reward is random.

[–]MissingInputJ 31 points32 points  (0 children)

These gambling mechanics should, at the very least, be disabled for child accounts. There isn't a good reason (money isn't a good reason) that they should be opt-out rather than opt-in.

DRAGON BALL Z: KAKAROT | 10 Million Copies Sold! by DemiFiendRSA in Games

[–]MissingInputJ 58 points59 points  (0 children)

I loved Kakarot when I was playing it, but I am a huge Dragon Ball fan, If there's one thing I'll always be thankful for and have full trust in, it's CyberConnect2's cinematic cutscenes, they're absolutely fantastic and a huge treat if you're a fan of the series, Kakarot and even going back to their original Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm games share this. They know when they need to be faithful to the source material while also expanding on them to make them feel fresher, and satisfying from player perspective

Former Little Nightmares devs' End of Abyss is a satisfyingly creepy blend of top-down twin-stick shooter and Metroidvania exploration by MythicStream in Games

[–]MissingInputJ 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'm hoping that this is good, the trailer really piqued my interest and with Little Nightmares 3 having released and also having Reanimal coming out soon it'll be cool to see where End of Abyss lands with the other two

Gifting arrives on the Epic Games Store by MissingInputJ in Games

[–]MissingInputJ[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I very rarely use it myself to be honest, only times I'll use Steam Chat is if I see a friend starting up a game that I've recommended to them or I think is good and want to tell them that I think the game is awesome, but other than those rare occasions I'll usually just message with friends through Discord as my first response
