At a news conference in St. Louis, Missouri, the FBI alleged that thousands of individuals have moved to countries such as Russia and China and posed as freelance IT workers living in the US. They used false information for emails, payment platforms and websites — sometimes even...

11 years later, Star Citizen dev says Squadron 42 is "feature-complet​e"

Star Citizen's standalone single-player campaign Squadron 42 is now "feature complete", developer Cloud Imperium Games has said. Squadron 42 was originally announced for release in 2014, but has been delayed multiple times. A beta release was scheduled for mid-2020, before it too was delayed by three months. Later that year, CIG director Chris Roberts admitted the game was still a way off from a beta phase. The recent update on Squadron 42 came during this year's CitizenCon, along with a develop...

Spider-Man 2 developer promises fix for Cuban flag in Miles' home

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 developer Insomniac Games has said it will replace a Cuban flag in Miles Morales' home with the correct Puerto Rican design. Following the game's release last week, fans have been poring over its details. One such detail was the inclusion of a Cuban flag in Miles' house, as well as various Cuban flags in the surrounding area. However, Miles is not from Cuba. His mother, Rio Morales, is Puerto Rican, and while both flags are similar, the colours are different. Many noticed t...

Amongst some true shining gems, lumps of coal have been dumped with seemingly no consideration for consumer satisfaction, including the likes of The Last Hope - Dead Zone Survival (since removed) and Prison Life Simulator 2022. The latest addition is perhaps one of the most egregious, and it comes from repeat offender INSTAMARKETINGANDGAME, a company that has knocked out "classics" such as Counter Bunny...
