Western Digital is a name synonymous with hard drives, system storage, and all things spinny-platter, with the sort of brand recognition many of its competitors must envy. It looks like its going to have to reach into its pockets and find a considerable amount of spare change, however, as a Californian jury has decided that the company has violated patent rights, and owes damages to the tune of $262m.
The Nintendo Switch has had plenty of hit titles over its lifetime, and it might be about to get another. A highly anticipated new game just got a Switch release date. Although it'll be published by industry veteran Devolver Digital, the upcoming game is the first game developed by a brand new studio.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard pre-orders officially landed yesterday, alongside an October 31 release date. I've seen retailers filtering their standard and deluxe editions onto their sites in the hours since, and have been measuring up each store's delivery times, costs, and additional bonuses all the while.

PC Gaming is beset by terrible supplementary launchers, from the rubbish EA app to the pointless Ubisoft Connect, all the way down to the digital wasteland that is the Microsoft Store. One of the most baffling examples of the form, however, is the 2K launcher.

Epic Games and its CEO, Tim Sweeney, have been at war with Apple for years now. The present situation is this: Epic only wants to put Fortnite on iPhones and iPads if it can use its own store and payment processor instead of the official Apple App Store, which takes a 30% cut of revenue.
