Is that a Guilty Gear thing?

I don't quite understand what you mean.

Ah, completely forgot it had a Faust DLC! But it's DLC and not part of the core game itself, I don't see why developers would stop selling their game due to a DLC licence expiring.

Mistover, an interesting mix between Etrian Odyssey and Darkest Dungeon, has been delisted from all digital platforms without much notice or clarification on why.
I'll hold onto my physical Japanese Switch tightly.

Wasn't even aware of Mistover until you mentioned it.

That Switch physical edition is already going for silly money on Flea-Bay!

Last night's Devolver Digital "MARKETING COUNTDOWN TO MARKETING" was excellent. It tickled my funny bone.



If you want to just get to the meat of it, they showed 5 games. Two of which (Cult of the Lamb, Card Shark) we already knew about, three of which we did not.

The Plucky Squire



They are all very short, very striking trailers, and I'd recommend you watch them all. What a line-up.

That's a good show, all round!

I must say The Plucky Squire looks like a ridiculously inventive game.
I actually stopped watching because I think this will be a real treat to experience without spoilers.

It seems weird how much crossover there is in these Capcom releases and it makes me wonder why they are all separate releases.

Saudi Arabia buys $1 billion worth of shares in Embracer Group, or about 8% of the company.

So this , SNK and a 5% stake in Nintendo too !

Grim, grim, grim scenes regarding Saudi Arabia's growing hand in games companies.

Regarding Capcom Arcade Stadium 2, here are some good tweets that I saw in the run up to its announcement that might help add some context to why it exists in this format;

Saudi Arabia own 5% of practically everything though. There's no point beating yourself up about buying a Metal Slug compilation when they also own 5% of the coffee you're drinking, the Uber you came home in, the plane you'll fly in on holiday, the gas company heating your house.
