Statistics for Steam games released between 2017/11/06 to 2017/11/12 Posted: 26 Nov 2017 11:17 PM PST Hello there :) I've put together the following infographic which covers some stats for Steam releases between the 6th and 12th of November: https://imgur.com/VOjafZo The Football Manager series has always been a safe bet for Sports Interactive/SEGA and 2018 has proved to be no exception with players racking up an astonishing 50 hours on average in the game in its opening week. The 2017 edition still manages to be quite popular, in fact it appears as if the release of the new one had no impact on the current playerbase at all. I'd have to dive deeper in the data to see what the overlap really looks like but, at least for the top 10 players or so, there doesn't appear to be any. Battlerite also came out of Early Access this week and that provided a massive boost (about 10x) to its playerbase. That boost has remained steady over the past 2 weeks as well, signalling that this was the change that was needed to draw more people into the game. Nioh made its PC debut this week as well and was met with some strong stats which, if it had released during one of the down weeks prior, would have had it take the crown. It has managed to sustain its audience as well, something that is difficult even for most AAA titles. The trending section has me beat this week so if anyone knows why these games might have been trending I'd really like to know why! Would also love to hear your thoughts on the releases this week or any feedback you might have about the infographic itself. submitted by /u/davidklemke [link] [comments]

New information on Fortnite cheating lawsuit: Accused 14 year-old filed appeal on Epic Games DMCA takedown request, prompting legal action Posted: 27 Nov 2017 01:39 AM PST Per this latest article: https://kotaku.com/14-year-old-video-game-cheater-sued-mom-defends-him-1820752579 Essentially what happened (in the case of the 14 year-old specifically) is this: Accused teenager downloads Fortnite cheats He then makes a YouTube video demonstrating the hacks and advertising the website distributing them. Epic Games files a DMCA takedown request to YouTube for this video Teenager then files an appeal, saying he's done nothing wrong Epic Games must now defend the initial takedown request, which they say requires full legal action on their part Epic Games also suggests that this would not have happened if the takedown wasn't appealed, and it is purely their obligation to hold up the DMCA claim From the article: "This particular lawsuit arose as a result of the defendant filing a DMCA counterclaim to a takedown notice on a YouTube video that exposed and promoted Fortnite Battle Royale cheats and exploits", Epic says in a statement given to Kotaku. "Under these circumstances, the law requires that we file suit or drop the claim. TL;DR - Lawsuit has less to do with hacking, and more to do with a DMCA claim (on a video promoting hacking) being appealed submitted by /u/Ohh_Yeah [link] [comments]

How do you guys feel about game critics/journalists not finishing games they're talking about critically? Posted: 26 Nov 2017 01:36 PM PST This is a trend I've been seeing a lot, especially with people from Giantbomb or Easy Allies. They will be discussing a game and mention that they're just going to drop it because it's not holding their interest any longer. For a typical person this is absolutely reasonable. Some games just go on for way too long and it's understandable to stop playing a game if it's boring and you feel like it's wasting your time. But it seems weird that critics are so easy to drop a game when it's essentially their job to play these games and talk about them critically. For example, Nier: Automata is a game that I can see many people dropping during the second playthrough because of how redundant it is, but once you get past that it becomes a great experience. I feel like a critic should feel a little obligated to get through to the credits of the game at least just to see if the game gets any better or if the slow beginning portion of the game is worth playing through. It feels unfair that one critic might have some poor things to say about a game when they have only played a few hours of it and is not recommending the game to their audience when the game might get better in the later half. So my question is, do you guys feel it's important for game critics/journalists to finish the game they're playing and talking about or reviewing? I feel like some games aren't going to get a fair shake simply because the first few hours of the game are boring despite a game opening up and getting better later on. Or do you feel game critics should drop games if it's simply not holding their interest? submitted by /u/Andinator [link] [comments]
