Free VPN recommendations?
Hello, now that the free tier of Proton doesn’t let you select a country anymore, I can’t access my japanese exclusive browser games so I’m searching for a new free VPN just to login. I know all that you are the product if it’s free bla bla bla, I just want free one that let’s me connect from Japan, that acts more like a trial since I don’t use a VPN enough to pay monthly for it.
Unicorn Overlord Devs Denied PC Port
>Yamamoto: As a publisher, we would like to deliver it to PC users as well, but per our agreement with Vanillaware, we are only releasing on console. In other words, there are no plans to port it to PC currently. Did a PC gamer piss on Itsuno’s mom or something? Even smaller companies like Falcom, Compile Heart and Tamsoft released their games on steam, but Vanillaware continues to refuse to do so. This is so puzzling when you combine it with the other news that they ran out of money as they were developing it.
Details on Assassin's Creed Infinity's Live Service Hub - Insider Gaming
>The main focus of Infinity is a live service offering, which is all told via the modern-day story. To start, Infinity will launch on the same day as Red and will contain several features that you would expect from a live service. >‘The Exchange’ will be the item shop, offering players the opportunity to purchase daily and weekly in-game cosmetics for Red’s two protagonists, Naoe and Yasuke We don’t even have a gameplay trailer but we already know it’s a live service single player lmao. Hard pass.
Starbreeze admits Payday 3 is massively underperforming
>Payday 3 launched for Windows PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X | S in September 2023 but has seemingly struggled to win over players. The title currently has a ‘mixed’ rating on Steam with over 36,000 user reviews, although the vast majority of recent reviews have been ‘mostly negative.’ Maybe release a game when it’s ready, so many of these online games are releasing broken and getting their roadmap pushed back because they have to fix it asap.

The Quest To Preserve Japanese Feature Phone Games
>“I was like, ‘How can this be happening?’” he tells us. “And ‘How come no one is talking about this?’ I was looking at all these game preservationist organisations and nobody was saying anything and the date was just getting closer and closer. So I got worried and pretty much totally out of nowhere I decided to write an open letter to a few different organisations in October, telling them, ‘Hey, you guys have got to start raising awareness of this because thousands of games are going to get lost to time.’” >As a direct result of Cosmo’s open letter, the Game Preservation Society in Japan was able to successfully download 876 DoCoMo games before the shutdown occurred on November 30th, but these games now sit on aging hardware with the process of removing them from a device being far from simple. Crazy that history was almost completely lost because there’s no money for these companies in preserving the games they themselves made.

Frogwares is now publisher of The Sinking City
>The news comes years after the eldritch horror maker’s dispute with publisher Nacon began. In 2020, the studio pulled The Sinking City from all stores, accusing Nacon of missing payments, holding back €1 million in royalties, and claiming IP rights to the game – something the studio insisted had always belonged to it. I can finally buy it now, since the only place you could get it before where the money went to Frogwares, was on epic.
