New releases for the weeks of June 12 and June 19, 2018

Posted: 18 Jun 2018 01:53 PM PDT

Whew, we made it through E3! If you were wondering where this post was last week, we decided to hold off until the E3 craziness was over, the sub was nuts but it was super fun.

This week I've added Metacritic scores, if available yet. The format is Critic score/user score. Some games don't have enough critic reviews for a metascore, so I just put the user score down.

Let me know if there's anything else you'd like to see, or any specific games you want to see featured!

The Redshell controversy: many steam games like Civ6, Total War, Vermintide and others installed spyware on your systems

Posted: 19 Jun 2018 08:48 AM PDT

Any reason why the redshell controversy has not been discussed in r/Games? It seems crucial information for a gaming subreddit.

Redshell is a spyware program which is installed automatically and without consent in many steam games (civ 6, battlerites, all total wars, kerbal space program, elder scroll online). It tracks your browsing and gather info on your system to help companies evaluate whether their marketing is effective.

Redshell and game publishers claim data is anonymized and harmless, but this is difficult to check and the fact remains that it is spyware installed without knowledge nor permission.

Here you can find succint neutral summaries.

This is the thread the started it all, which now expanded with many updates.
