    From Minecraft Survival Games to Fortnite: How Live-Service Turned Games Into a Battle Royale for the Top Spot

    IGN traces the history of live-service games, noting the battle royale market was valued at $11.2 billion last year and is expected to reach nearly $30 billion by 2035. Norwegian YouTuber Dennis Vaeride is credited with launching the first Minecraft Survival Games server in April 2012, while Brendan Greene's shrinking-circle concept led to PUBG's Steam Early Access launch in March 2017 and Fortnite's free-to-play battle royale mode later that year. Ex-BioWare producer Mark Darrah says you have to believe you can dethrone one of the top two players in the genre, or you shouldn't be doing it.

    Hellraiser: Revival's 'Real-Life' Bondage Club Makes the Rest of the Game Feel Embarrassing

    Hellraiser: Revival, developed by Saber Interactive, casts players as Aidan as he descends into Cenobite dungeons and the Scarlet Church cult after losing his girlfriend Sunny. An early "everyday" S&M club, complete with safe-sex signs, a recovery room, and chatting NPCs, highlights the absurdity of the game's bloodier torture and sexual themes. The author finds the club scene more restrained than the rest of Revival, making its violent gameplay feel embarrassing by comparison.
