The world of digital rights on video game purchases is still a bit murky. We’re still seemingly leagues away from being able to resell or even gift away the digital licences for the games we buy.

In a surprising bit of transparency, Godfall developer Counterplay Games addressed the circulating video, saying that the video was indeed real, but was from an old internal trailer. They also suggested the game’s come along way since then.

Earlier this year, Cyberpunk 2077, the next RPG for the folks who brought us The Witcher games, was delayed. The developer moved the much-anticipated game from April 16th to September 17th.

After the implosion of the development studio in 2018, The Walking Dead was delisted later that same year only to return to the storefront later this week.
