It's okay to be upset about Pokemon Sword + Shield cutting tons of Pokemon. It's okay to not buy the game. It's okay to encourage others not to buy the game.
It is not okay to harass the developers on their personal social media accounts or professional pages. Full stop.

Everyone who complains about censorship in games needs to be taking a long, hard look at this situation. A Taiwanese company can't publish their game on any major platform because of one obtuse (long-removed) reference to China's president
THIS is what real censorship looks like
Earlier today, it was announced that the game Devotion is coming to GOG. After receiving many messages from gamers, we have decided not to list the game in our store.

Apparently there are twins in Cyberpunk who are named "left" and "right" in Portuguese... but the word they used for "right" doesn't mean the direction, it means "correct".
Just a slight demonstration of the importance of native speakers checking your work!
O designer chefe de quests do Cyberpunk twitou que pra escolher o nome de dois personagens irmãos do jogo, ele só traduziu os termos "left" e "right" pra alguma língua aleatória q a pronúncia ficasse boa, no caso o português.
A tradução ficou ESQUERDO e CERTO

"Bar Lives Matter" represents so much wrong with this country. Equating your thirst for a happy hour to a movement fighting for the basic rights of black Americans is beyond fucked, and further demonstrates the absolute lack of human decency shown by so many in our country.

Attention to detail is one of my favorite things about the Yakuza series.

Something that's been brought to my attention today: it seems like Kiryu's outfit in Yakuza 3 is based off a Beat Takeshi film from 1993 called Sonatine! The film also takes place in Okinawa and is also about a yakuza who's growing tired of the yakuza life!

One of the things I'm proudest of in the Yakuza Remaster Collection is something that might have flown under people's radars a bit: English karaoke lyrics. Not only did we localize all karaoke songs across all three games, but they're even singable (no easy feat, I assure you)!

Fun fact: if you've ever heard the word "skosh", as in "just a skosh" (meaning a little bit), it actually comes from the Japanese word 少し (すこし/sukoshi), also meaning a little bit.

2) Physical bundle of all three games,
