    Yoo Tae-ho, former CEO of Dark Eden developer Softon, has been indicted for embezzlement and breach of trust totaling 450 million won after arranging four women he met at nightclubs into no-show positions at Softon and affiliate One Tang Tang Games.

    EU opens enforcement over in-game currency against nine companies including King, Supercell, Riot and Ubisoft, as two European game associations push back

    On September 30 the Consumer Protection Cooperation Network announced coordinated enforcement against nine companies including King, Supercell, Mojang, Riot Games and Ubisoft over how in-game virtual currency is sold and managed, with Crytek, InnoGames, Plarium Europe and PLR Worldwide Sales also named. The same day, Video Games Europe and EGDF jointly objected, questioning the legal basis and arguing in-game currency is not a crypto-like digital representation of value, saying they had asked for that basis since spring 2025 without reply. The dispute centers on whether in-game currency counts as a digital representation of value, which would make each in-game exchange a new consumer contract with its own 14-day withdrawal notice; the associations offered six commitments including clear real-money pricing and refunds for unused currency within 48 hours, conditional on resolving the legal uncertainty.

    Street Fighter 6 producer Shuhei Matsumoto revealed that during the Street Fighter V era, he and director Takayuki Nakayama realized the Street Fighter IP would likely die in 10 years if they didn't act.

As of summer 2026, Street Fighter 6 has sold more than seven million lifetime units.

    New GTA 6 Screenshot Looks So Good Players Doubt It's Real

    A new GTA 6 screenshot released alongside Rockstar's radio station news has players questioning whether it's actual in-game footage. Digital Foundry's Oliver Mackenzie suggested it may have been captured on a PS5 Pro devkit using a debug menu, noting visual flaws like dithered reflections and missing pedestrian shadows. Rockstar has historically used real in-engine footage for its marketing.

Xavier said the project began in 2024 and is neither an emulator nor a remake, but a translation of the original code to PC, which also allows modern graphical features and mod support. Lance McDonald, who datamined P.T.'s secrets, called it a 1:1 port of the entire codebase.
