Activision launches lawsuit against indie game dev over Warzone trademark

RPS has a juicy piece up this week on a lawsuit Activision is waging against an indie game developer that should probably prompt Activision to graciously move on.

Vague Patch Notes: Playing MMOs as an introvert

I've heard people say that the idea of "extroverts" and "introverts" isn't really all that accurate to the way that human beings actually behave, and let me tell you something: We'd have words if any of us would ever leave our homes to talk with another human being.

Today's bad news for legacy online support is that some of Ubisoft's older titles now have a firm date of online shutdown.
