Failbetter Games got their Kickstarter campaign for Sunless Skies, a sequel to Sunless Sea, fully funded in 4 hours today. Their target was £100k, and, at the time of posting, they're already at £120k.

Im delighted for them. It seems to have come as a huge surprise - they've already surpassed what they raised during a month-long campaign for Sunless Sea - but it goes to show how much more exposure they have with the move from browser-based games.

Valve could be participating in anti-competitive practices in the EU. http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/european-commission-opens-investigation-into-valve-over-suspected-anti-competitive-geo-blocking-practices/0178365

And also allowing uncensored pornographic games on their platform for publishers they seem to be playing favorites with. http://www.oneangrygamer.net/2017/02/ladykiller-in-a-bind-sees-valve-breaking-steams-rules-for-sexual-content/22941/

ironic and cringeworthy that most of the ads on that second site are for big boobed anime statues or D.Va from overwatch drawn suggestively. :rolleyes:

Funny when those adds are based on your own browsing history. ;)

Fitting, more than ironic considering the site's writer is against censorship and seems to want all games to not be censored on steam.

You have to remember that an amusingly large amount of Internet users believe unfair treatment of farcically breasted anime characters represents one of the great injustices of our times.

I just hope the statutes have a non-stick, teflon coating…

If only they could lose their minds over people not liking the new ghostbusters, that's the REAL IMPORTANT ISSUE

Gawd, that remake of that film from my childhood that no longer has any relevance to my life was sooooo bad, it made me hate women… I punched my wife in the face after watching it. Take that feminists!!!

You can thank game journalists for that considering they try to start a moral panic over digital boobs every chance they get.

Jason Schreier thinking busty women is pedophilic is still baffling and hilarious.

I do find the lashings and lashings of big boobies you find in some games and anime quite juvenile tbf.

This is what happens when an unstoppable force for ethics meets and immovable narrative.

If that's your thing go for it, most people wouldn't care if you bought it.

That game is ridiculous.

It's got breast that are gravity defying and look like a high res high poly count version of something on PS1, and dick physic makes all the bad hair physic over the years look realistic (phallic helicopter).

I must stress that this story is US-centric, but the Kotaku report on GameStop US' policies makes for some grim reading. The Irish offshoot get little love here, but the transatlantic equivalent seems to be even worse: http://kotaku.com/new-gamestop-program-leads-employees-to-lie-to-customer-1791874332

As someone who isnt into anime i never got the whole appeal of the loli concept, so I can see his point. Its not about busty women as you say but animations of busty children.

I cant help but think that adolescent males who are into that sort of thing are borderline paedos.

Japan scares me.

Maybe I'm just out of touch with this generation. :P

He wasn't talking about anime. It was his follow up forums posts after his Dragon’s Crown moral panic hit piece. http://www.atlus.com/dragonscrown/home.html# Game in question. I see inhuman, stylised super beings. Jason sees sexy kids? I think if anyone's out of touch it's him... with reality.

Remember this is the same chap who compared the pursuit of journalistic ethics to the ebola virus and said: '"Objectivity" is a silly thing to strive for.'.

I think that's Kotaku's goal. No great mystery why their Japanese branch was closed.

Former Rockstar North's president Leslies Benzies announces new project called Everywhere (working title). Its website describes it as "a videogame that simulates and fuses the real world with the virtual. Live your own stories as you live in ours." Right......

PC Gamer Story

There was another game announced in the last few months that is like a real life simulator, possibly being built using the Uneal engine.

Its annoying me now as i cant think of keywords that find it, but a friend of mine should let me know soon.

Doesn't surprise me in the least. They'll be if not already on numbered days here I think. Went in to our local one last week and its now 70% merch. They have selection of new and used ps4 games , not what it was last gen but still better than the pre-owned xbox one section. Same in our local cex ps4 to xb1 4 to 1 id say but don;t get carried away they are not the latest and greatest on either shelf. I'm getting to how this ties you your link, i've had emails from them offering €40 for games like battlefield one, GTA5, Watch Dogs 2 and a few others and with resi 7 out last week I figured wow I can get 80 for BF1 and GTA 5? So resi 7 and a 10er credit? Sold!

Arrived down on launch day to be told after pre orders they had 2 copies for sale (back in stock soon stickers on the boxes on the shelf), of the first AAA title of the year !!!!???? FFS So went to argos and got it and a €5 voucher. Argos usually get 5 copies per store of a new release and are 10-20 cheaper than gamestop who seem to be relying their own preorder stock to be traded in to make money ?????
