The Perils of Being Tied to the Steam Third Party Game Distribution DRM System

|

Much has been written all over the internet about the anti-consumer effects of DRM (Digital Rights Management, or more accurately, Digital Restrictions Management) which infects virtually all digital content nowadays, including that on Steam and other content delivery platforms such as Origin and Uplay. Notable exceptions are www.gog.com and CD Projekt Red with their Witcher games series – big respect for these guys. Somehow they still make decent profits even without DRM… Wccftech recently reported that Steam no longer supports Windows XP or Vista from 1st Jan 2019. On the face of it, this might seem reasonable, since these are old operating systems that hardly anyone uses. But, there’s a sinister side effect to this that’s not obvious at first glance: Valve are dictating what games you can actually play – for games that you have a perpetual licence for….

Katana Zero Shows Off Its Heavy Synths and Swords in a New Trailer

|

A new trailer dropped for upcoming Indie action game Katana Zero, and it certainly delivers some top-speed action in a 64-bit package. The side scroller game immerses itself in a cyberpunk aesthetic, with heavy synths and excessive uses of neon. But what sticks out most of all is its combat. Katana Zero looks like it lives for its speed with quick killing with well…a katana. You can quickly strike enemies as you pass by or deflect oncoming bullets for stylish kills. There also seems to be some motorcycle combat so you can get your Akira fix in 2019. Probably the most interesting mechanic in the game is the ability to slow time so you can get that dodge or kill in the most badass way possible. Levels seem to vary from dark cities, mansions, and even mines. All of these levels I’m sure will have…
