How recent laws impact game design, from in-game chat to notifications How game developers can stay on the right side of current and upcoming legislation affecting the industry 2026 is already proving to be the year when the reality of video game regulation hits home for the industry. Games studios are suddenly confronting a host of new and impending regulations, and it can feel an impossible task to sift through the alphabetti spaghetti of laws, rules and guidelines (OSA, DMCCA, DFA, DSA, AI Act, CPC…) in order to know what this actually means for the day-to-day practicalities of developing and releasing games. Kabam, Nexters and My.Games recently fell afoul of this in the UK and Netherlands with Marvel Contest of Champions, Hero Wars: Alliance RPG and Rush Royale: Tower Defense TD.

Former Assassin's Creed and Far Cry director says Ubisoft 'became very allergic' to new games, which contributed to a 'talent drain' Alex Hutchinson diagnoses the downward trajectory of his former employer. Keep up to date with the most important stories and the best deals, as picked by the PC Gamer team. Skull and Bones became a $200 million folly, one of several failed attempts to capitalise on live-service popularity; staff are revolting due to layoffs, studio closures and a mandatory return-to-office command; and after years of trying to curtail the influence of Tencent, the Chinese publisher now controls more than 26% of newly-formed Assassin's Creed subsidiary Vantage Studios. So I think they lost that momentum as well." Back when Ubisoft was fighting fit, it released Assassin's Creed, Assassin's Creed 2, Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, Assassin's Creed: Revelations, Assassin's Creed 3 and Assassin's Creed: Black Flag in a mere six years.

In honor of Sega Genesis designer Hideki Sato, I spent the weekend with an original Mega Drive, and I'd urge you to do the same A tribute to Sega's legendary console designer. RGB scart cable | $9.99 at Amazon OSSC upscaler | $111.99 at Amazon Hyperkin HDMI | $29.99 at Amazon Sega's approach to output really makes a difference when using a Genesis in 2026. For some of you, using the Switch Expansion Pack to play some of the console's standout releases will make more sense, while some of you might have even already picked up something like the Anbernic RG ARC-D for its extremely authentic controls ($79.99 at Amazon, FYI). I could go on at length about how I prefer the sounds and rougher graphics of the Mega Drive / Genesis in Sega versions of games compared to the SNES (looking at you, Disney's Aladdin), or how I'll always pick the 6-button Mega Drive controller over Nintendo's gamepad (Retro-bit's wireless version is a great alternative for $35.99, but the Genesis design has recently changed).
"Father of Sega hardware" Hideki Sato has reportedly died "A little bit of our childhood left us yesterday, RIP Hideki Sato." Hideki Sato, the designer of most Sega home consoles, has allegedly died. As announced by Sega history zine Beep21, Sato – known as the "father of Sega hardware" – reportedly died on Thursday, 13th February. He was in his late seventies (some sources put him at 77, others 75). (laughs) But we really wanted to play up the fact that this was the very first 16-bit home console." Beep21 had extensively interviewed Sato about his work at Sega, including as part of this in-depth roundtable series that debuted just a few months ago https://note.com/beep21/m/m15e6fd503a96 🇯🇵 most of their stuff's paywalled, but this long interview from 2021 is part of their free package 🇯🇵 — GSK | ALL CITY SLOP SHOP (ETA SOON) (@allcityslopshop.com) February 14, 2026 at 2:08 PM [image or embed]

Colonialism is not merely about occupying nations. See, for example, the British Museum’s continual hold of the Egyptian Rosetta Stone, the so-called Benin Bronzes, and the Ethiopian Maqdala collection. Ugandan scholar Yusuf Serunkuma cites one calculation that puts the loss Africa experienced through colonization between 1960–2010 at an estimated $152 trillion.

Have a VR headset and want to do some gaming from your Linux PC? WiVRn has a new release out that should make the experience even better. If you use envision, also select XRizer instead of OpenComposite (or have a 2nd profile with it in Envision), as with XRizer you can play After the Fall (the Left 4 Dead VR kinda game from Vertigo Games). And we got quite some nice games in the last two years, some I got: - Bulletstorm VR (they fixed the performance) - Arizona Sunshine Remake - Metro: Awakening - Alien: Rogue Incursion VR (yes, it has now a non VR version too) - Arken Age - iAi (a VR coop game) - Wanderer: The Fragments of Fate (more than just a remake) - Of Lies And Rain (has some Half Life: Alyx vibes) And the classics like Beat Saber, Synth Riders, Pistol Whip etc.

Return to Part 1: Dumpster Diving Continued from Part 49: One More to Go! Carrying on in Part 51: It’s Not Easy Being Green Return to Part 1: Dumpster Diving [https://icculus.org/~hamish/retro/part50.html](https://icculus.org/~hamish/retro/part50.html) Last edited by Hamish on 9 Feb 2026 at 8:01 pm UTC For me, CtP is THE best Civ ever made: There are so many amazing game concepts which totaly ouclass basically anything ever implemented on any of SM Civs, that any SM Civ I played was just too boring for me (maybe with the exception of Civ V). I hope it's not true because it would be depressing to wait for over a year for Quake 2 and Ultima Online: 1994 Doom, Doom 2 1995 Abuse, SimCity 1996 Inner Worlds, Quake 1997 Nothing? I thought that LinCycles from 1996 was a commercial title, but a comment from the author is odd, and I have some doubts: https://happypenguin.altervista.org/sheet.php?gameid=57 Quoting: HamishOn a separate but related tangent, whether Call to Power was the first or second Linux game to be sold at retail is somewhat muddied by the fact that Macmillan Publishing announced their boxed Quake releases on May 13, 1999 (my fifth birthday) while Call to Power did not start shipping until May 15, 1999 despite being announced months earlier.I don't know it.
