Star Wars Outlaws is set to release with a 19+ rating in South Korea as the country's ratings board declares it unsuitable for minors due to a gambling mini-game.
You're probably aware that the music industry makes a pretty penny or two from music streaming services, though the artists themselves get a fraction of that from each stream. Not so in the case of an unnamed 53-year-old man from Denmark, who's just been convicted of fraud to the tune of two million Kroner (roughly $290k/$230k), by passing off other people's music as his own and accruing millions of streams through Spotify, Apple Music, and other services.
Family Sharing is a pretty great feature on Steam: Simply put, it lets you share your game library with friends and family, so if you and your brother and your mom all want to play Helldivers 2, for instance, you don't all have to buy it separately—as long as you don't want to play at the same time, anyway. That restriction was removed today, though, as Valve announced a pretty big overhaul to the system that combines Steam Family Sharing and the Family View parental control system into one big package called Steam Families.
A new Xbox dev kit console was certified today in South Korea, and the model number reveals it is not a development kit for a known console.
The solo dev behind the indie poker roguelike Balatro is disappointed over how games with "actual gambling mechanics" are given age ratings, after seeing their own game's rating skyrocket due to gambling-related concerns. This came despite the fact that Balatro doesn't actually feature gambling, and the developer is strictly against it.
Crow Country, an upcoming survival horror indie game inspired by PS1 greats like Silent Hill and Resident Evil, with just a touch of classic Final Fantasy in its aesthetic, launches May 9 for PS5 and PC.
TikTok users in the US are facing the possibility of being locked out of the app following the passage of a bill in the US House of Representatives. The bill gives ByteDance, the China-based parent company of TikTok, six months to sell its controlling stake in the app. If it does not, the app will be blocked in the US.
I admit it: I kind of thought, given that the original Resident Evil 4 has been reissued more times than the Bible and the Little Red Book combined, that enthusiasm for its full-blown remake might have been at a low ebb. Well, shows what I know. Capcom just announced that the RE4 remake has topped 7 million sales a little under a year post-release.
