Oh God I am Rock fucking hard

Inzoi, A first real competitor to The Sims, just launched in Early Access, and things are going about as expected.

Ok so I get what the first 5 are about, but what's with that last one?

Yeah, judging from these screenshots I'm going to say no.

Before this, most of the complaints were about the high system requirements, but when they decided they weren't going to include Denovo DRM, suddenly more people were interested in playing the game.

I just think the art design looks really uninspired, but I see now it's made by Krafton, and all their games look like that. Their insistence on using AI (and thus requiring a nvidia graphics card to use their proprietary ai system) is also kinda ew. But I'm sure it'll have its fans

Ubisoft briefly censored nudity in Far Cry 4 with a patch for the 11 year old game, and then quickly patched it again to uncensor the game.

The zombified corpse of Bleem is being used by Piko Interactive to raise money on Kickstarter. They want to start a DRM-fee online store for selling ROMs. Some people think they've got a spotty past, especially a history of pushing NFTs.

Other people have a better opinion on Piko Interactive, since they've done a lot of work to make some old niche games available again. Titles they've re-released include: Wisdom Tree's Super 3D Noah's Ark, Glover, The Immortal, Radical Rex, and Jim Power The Lost Dimension. They're even selling physical cartridges for old systems.

Not sure what to make of their plans to launch a new storefront.
