70% of games with online requirements are doomed, according to Stop Killing Games survey
Stop Killing Games survey of 738 games with online requirements. Of those, 70% are apparently no longer playable or destined to become that way. 110 of the games surveyed have been preserved by industrious players, while just 16 had been salvaged by the developers. A few members of the Stop Killing Games team hope to set up a wiki of online games that face extinction. 🖋️🤖

Activision Quietly Force Adverts into Call of Duty Black Ops 6 and Warzone Loadouts and Players Absolutely Hate It: ‘At This Point It Really Feels Like Opening Up a Mobile Game’
Activision quietly put adverts inside loadouts for Black Ops 6 and Warzone. Adverts for weapon bundles can be seen in the build and weapon menus. These are unavoidable for players as they tinker with their loadouts. Activision has added bundle and Battle Pass advertisements to the Events tab. 🖋️🤖

Upcoming MMO ‘BitCraft Online’ will be open source
The upcoming MMO BitCraft Online is doing something very unusual for the genre, it’s going to be open source. It’s entering Early Access on June 20th, with support for Windows and macOS. There doesn’t seem to be anti-cheat mentioned for it yet, so it will likely work on Linux systems with Proton. 🖋️🤖

Played 40h, finished main quest on PC Game Pass. Excited at first, but disappointed by abrupt story end and repetitive, infinite quests. Liked shooting but hated dialogue wheel. 6/10, felt shallow without mods. Ready to move on to indie games. 🖍🤖

I love game reviews but hate loud music, lengthy story details, and tutorial-heavy reviews. Prefer brief story themes, mechanics overview, game quality, genre comparisons, and music. Like TheKisekiNut, JohnRiggs, MortismalGaming, davidvinc, gameranx, ircha. Recommend other retro gaming channels? 🖍🤖

from Patient Gamers ([email protected])
Illarion • The Free Online Roleplaying Game
Illarion - Carve yourself a new life llarion is an online game where genuine roleplay is enforced. All the player characters you will encounter during your time here are living, breathing inhabitants of the mysterious world of Illarion. Always dexterity for crafts and constitution for gathering, but the second one varies from skill to skill. Seafaring should no longer bug out and leave you stranded on the ship if you choose to flee and fail to. The Illarion Character Database now links the profiles of characters if they have one, as it used to in the past. 🖊️️🤖

📰 The Brief History of Motion Sensor Aiming in Video Games (direct link), posted in Gyro Gaming (👍12 👎1)
The Brief History of Motion Sensor Aiming in Video Games
In this mode, you can look around from Link’s perspective, and motion aiming is back. Motion Aiming is used, but unlike Nintendo’s implementation of Motion Aiming in the Wii era and Ocarina of Time 3D, you can finally use the Right Stick to move the camera. Here comes the recycled paragraph…and it also heavily relies on Motion Controls due to the focus on 360-degree flight. It is playable without Motion Aiming and you can turn it off in the settings, but you practically need Motion Aiming for traversal. (ironically, Wii U Gamepad works better there than handhelds)Unlike Intu-Aiming (which uses ADS for Motion Aiming), Splatoon opts for “Always-On” Motion Aiming. 🖊️️🤖
