    GTA 6 Gets a Nudity Pass That Indies Don't, for One Weird Reason

    Grand Theft Auto 6 has been confirmed to include sex scenes and rendered nudity, while a swath of indie games with adult themes were delisted by Steam and itch.io last summer under pressure from payment processors. Commentator George Osborn argues the difference is that online stores like Steam and itch aren't subject to age rating regulation the way physically released games like GTA 6 are, leaving them more vulnerable to external pressure.

    A Crimson Desert exec thinks critic review scores were lower because they didn't have enough time to play it, and boy oh boy I wonder whose fault that is

    Pearl Abyss European CEO Lybee Park says the gap between critic and user scores for Crimson Desert comes down to reviewers having limited time and a build that wasn't the exact launch version, so they mostly followed the main quest line instead of exploring the world's hidden details. The article's author pushes back, arguing the developer may be to blame for tight review timelines, and that a critic's job is to identify a game's friction points rather than play it like an average person.

    Analyst Estimates Gears of War: E-Day Sold 230,000 Copies as Game Pass Players Reach 1.7 Million

    Data firm Alinea Analytics estimates Gears of War: E-Day has sold about 230,000 copies, with 168,000 on Steam and 62,000 across Xbox console and PC, while 1.7 million players accessed it through Game Pass. Alinea's Rhys Elliott argues Game Pass is cannibalizing premium revenue, noting 722,000 players paid $30 for the Premium Edition upgrade to play five days early and estimating roughly $37 million in revenue, $26 million of it from Xbox. The estimates have not been corroborated by Microsoft, and Elliott concludes Microsoft may have to pull day-one first-party releases from the service, as it announced for Call of Duty earlier this year.
