GTA6 haxxor kiddie deemed unfit to stand trial due to severe and violent autism.

The judge said Kurtaj's skills and desire to commit cyber-crime meant he remained a high risk to the public.

He will remain at a secure hospital for life unless doctors deem him no longer a danger.

The court heard that Kurtaj had been violent while in custody with dozens of reports of injury or property damage.

Doctors deemed Kurtaj unfit to stand trial due to his severe autism so the jury was asked to determine whether or not he committed the alleged acts - not if he did so with criminal intent.

No, people are reporting it was in development after which it was cancelled.
That's nothing knew we've known for years they killed it to free up the workforce to shit out RDR 1 and MP 3. I assume the leak will have more info than that.

So we getting Bully 2?
Yeah, just you won't be able to hit anyone but the white students, all of which will have the Draco Malfoy look and personality. Quests will involve protecting trans teens at all costs from the Malfoys and farming gold in your BLM LGBTQIA2S+ lemonade stand to buy your black boyfriend a Nintondo Bottom for his Reddit Cakeday.

Dragon's Dogma was kind of a cult hit, it's just that on its surface it looks like a run of the mill arpg halfway between souls and skyrim but you have to spend a lot of time with it to notice all of its quirks.

Apparently games that saw international mainstream success that sits at 89% positive with 28.859 reviews on Steam now qualify as "the most underrated RPG ever made" :lol:
Because it was.

Game was first released on consoles where it bombed hard. Game literally run in latterbox and run like 20fps going down to 10s frequently getting 7s out there. People praised it for combat but nothing else was said about it.
It was PC release years after that gave franchize new wings. Ton of PC players found it amazing and it sold on PC more than on consoles which prodded Capcom to release it on PS4/Xbox which then with new "good word" sold even more.
Dragon's dogma is a bad game and it bombed for both running badly and being poorly designed. It got vitaled on /v/ for years as this underground hit that's totally amazing and TEH BEST RPG EVER. It got a steam release after years of whining about a sequel and the fanbase didn't seem to expand and discussion of it didn't really change. I suspect the PC players buying it were already console fans and reviews reflect that.

Chinese regulators go into damage control mode after proposed gaming restrictions burn $80B in market value​

Last week we reported on some newly drafted restrictions by Chinese regulators that were aimed at curbing game time, limiting rewards for spending and logging in, and applying a wide swath of lockbox restrictions. The news initially caught the market off-guard and sent the stock value of some of the country’s biggest games makers and publishers into a nosedive, and now it looks as if the government is trying to staunch the bleeding after $80 billion in market value was evaporated by the proposal.

Tencent, NetEase, and social media platform Bilibili saw massive sell-offs of stock, all three of which contributed to the billions of market losses, while the impact was even felt as far as the US and Paris, all spurred by fears of another significant crackdown on gaming and tech that ramped up between 2020 and this year, including game approval freezes, gaming time limits for minors, and a mandatory age rating system, all in an attempt by China’s government to fight what it called “spiritual opium” at the time.

Shortly after the drafted restrictions were made public, China’s National Press and Publication Administration began to try to soften its stance, first with a notice shared this past Saturday that it would carefully study the games industry’s reaction and improve the suggested rules, then following that statement up with an approval of 105 new online games this past Monday while affirming its “active support for the development of online games.”


The moves made by the NPPA haven’t fully recovered all of the lost stock value for Tencent and NetEase this week, but it has appeared to level things off, and NetEase appears to be taking an uptick in value in trading today. Bilibili’s stock has similarly started to see some recovery.
