the final version once you purchase it. Those interested can download
and start playing the game from Steam.

- HuniePop and Other Adult Games Facing Removal From Steam Store
- It seems that Valve is on a crusade to
remove games from Steam that are claimed to include pornographic content. Not that
this is a bad thing because it is their house, so their rules, but some
developers are crying foul because they don't believe their content is
pornographic. However, some of these same developers are removing the
"bad" content so they can continue to be sold on Steam. I don't play
any of these games so I can't opine on whether the potential bans are
valid or not.
- Worlds Adrift Looks to be the Next Big MMO - Worlds Adrift looks to be a Massively Multiplayer
Online game in the same vein as Minecraft, but moving a bit past simple
building blocks and creepers, and it relies on a lot of the ingame
environment being created by the players themselves. Reuters has a story covering this and the huge
investments being made into it. $24 or $36 is not a bad price if it
makes good on its promises, and no in-game transactions as well. That
is at least refreshing. It went on sale
yesterday. They are citing GTX 960/ R9 280 GPUs as the recommended
video cards, so they should have plenty of footprint to sell into.
- GeForce Now for the NVIDIA SHIELD is Now Free - Starting
today, GeForce Now is a free service. Nvidia has sent out
emails to customers saying, "Over the next few months, we’ll be
upgrading your GeForce NOW service. You’ll continue to have access to
your favorite membership titles and games you’ve purchased through the
GeForce NOW store. To reward our loyal GeForce NOW gamers, we’ll stop
billing your account as of May 15th, 2018 to make the transition as
smooth as possible."
- Fortnite is Coming to Android - In a "State of Mobile" press release today, Fortnite developer Epic Games went over some in-development improvements to the mobile battle-royale carpal tunnel inducer. Such upgrades are a customizable in-game HUD, voice chat, performance, and stats. However buried in the middle of the post, they announce that Fortnite is coming to Android, with a summer release. Always interesting how developers wait to release stuff on the platform with nearly 90 percent of the market share.
