So many real drivers joining sim racing all at once has been weird indeed. Many sim racers (especially of the iRacing variety) are so wedded to the idea that their game of choice is an accurate simulation of the real thing they'd rather not hear from every driver who doesn't think the virtual Indycar, F3, F1, GT3 etc cars don't quite behave like in real life.

Also, most racing sims don't have proper (well, any) anti-cheat mechanisms, and suddenly, a bunch of games have started to have organized e-sports competitions.

Not sure where to put this, as the game was never released... I found some old finnish gaming magazines in archive.org, and came across two news items in first two 1994 issues, first was about FPS being made by finnish guys, and they were shopping it around, called Deadline, and in the next issue had another news item that they had sold the engine to Cyberdreams, who also hired them to work on upcoming crpg being designed by Gary Gygax, I tried to search for it online but only thing I found was a short mention of it in Cyberdreams wikipage.

Here's a screenshot of Deadline from the first issue's news, looks like something in between of Doom and Wolf 3D. Shame that the rpg was never released.

China to ban online games because they are an “authority vacuum”
New laws are intended to reduce contact with gamers from other parts of the world

The Chinese Communist Party will be introducing new laws that ban online gaming in order to curtail contact with individuals outside of the communist regime, according to a new report (via Taiwan News).

This revelation comes only days after Animal Crossing: New Horizons was removed from sale in the country. Hong Kong pro-democracy activist Joshua Wong used the game to share a screenshot of his virtual protests, stating “Free Hong Kong” and criticising Xi Jinping, the President of the People's Republic of China. Other Chinese players had created scenes in the social sim game that lambasted the regime’s response to the coronavirus, and as such, the game is now no longer available to purchase.

Now, the government has been alerted to an “authority vacuum” in online multiplayer games. The Chinese Communist Party is said to be unhappy that Chinese players are able to engage in unregulated spaces for socialisation in these games. Consequently, new laws are being created to “expand the scope of online censorship in video games,” and prevent players from interacting with gamers in the rest of the world.

In addition, online single-player games will be screened, as well as these online multiplayer games. An incoming law will require players to use their legal name rather than a username in the game, and it will also cover the exclusion of “zombies and plagues, map editing, role playing, as well as organising a union” from interactive experiences. Other new laws are not directly related to censorship, such as an online gaming curfew for children and young people, and a maximum amount of money people are permitted to spend on games to ameliorate internet addiction.


WTF I love China now!?
