A whole lot was said but it didn’t sound like there were many answers to be found…

Developer Xaviant still believes in The Culling, and they’re back with yet another stab at the game that comes with one of the most ludicrous monetisation models ever imagined.

What appears to be a return to the original formula, PvZ 3 has only been launched in a select few countries with more expected to follow in the next few weeks.

In the past, YouTube has been pretty clear on how it views video game violence of any level: If those pixels are red, gushing and violent in nature, you can expect a hefty slap of age restriction gatekeeping to hit your video because someone needs to think of the children. That’s all about to change, as a new policy enforcement update will see some distinctions being made between proper violence and “scripted or simulated violence” present in video games.

Cyberpunk 2077 is the ambitious new futuristic RPG from the folks who brought us The Witcher video games. While the game is going to focus on its single-player RPG campaign, CD Projekt RED has said that the game will be getting multiplayer in the future. We know close to not a thing about how that multiplayer will work, how it’ll be implemented, or what it might even entail.

Given the direction Ubisoft seems to be taking Ghost Recon in, it only seems reasonable to expect Breakpoint to follow the “Games as a Service” model.

Things are changing in the YouTube scene right now though. In the past, being eligible for monetisation wasn’t exactly insurmountable as YouTube required content producers to notch up 10 000 views on their channel before they could monetise their videos. A bit of hard work, self promotion and slipping $5 to a Chinese website to earn those views made it an achievable milestone for many a would-be YouTube superstar. That’s all in the past as of now.

YouTube’s got a big problem right now, and I’m not talking about the overabundance of hyperbolic, overenthusiastic product shills. Many of its most prolific creators are finding their videos demonetised before they’ve even gone live. Creators - particularly those who rely on YouTube’s ad money to live – are understandably upset, and many are contemplating abandoning the platform.
