Spellbreak to shut down on all platforms January 9th [UPDATED]
[UPDATE 06/29/22] I missed the news from VentureBeat early this morning announcing that Proletariat had been acquired by Activision Blizzard. That pretty much explains the reason for shutting down Spellbreak. The team of 100 will cease operating as Proletariat and will be folded into Blizzard to support World of Warcraft and its upcoming Dragonflight expansion.
Original Overwatch replaced by Overwatch 2 in digital stores, legacy service ends October 4th
Entries for the original Overwatch began being replaced on digital storefronts last week with Overwatch 2: Watchpoint Pack.

Metal Max titles delisted in Japan next week with more removals expected
Metal Max, the long running RPG series with entries dating back to 1991 has passed through the hands of numerous developers and publishers over the decades. Most of the series remained exclusive to Japan until 2018’s Metal Max Xeno which was published on PlayStation 4 and Vita across the Western world by NIS America. The
Nyu Media shutting down operations, Cherry Tree High titles to be delisted in July
It’s one of those “good problem” situations that Nyu Media has found themselves in. With their decade-long goal of bringing Japanese indie PC titles to a wider market, the group now feels that things are much more accessible to individual creators and there isn’t as great a need for a company like theirs. Before winding
Vacation Mode: GO
[UPDATE 06/20/22] Sad news: my vacation is over. But I’m back to work IRL and on the site Hey all! It’s time to get out of this house and hit the road for a bit. I’ll be off until around the 20th with only an underpowered laptop and backwoods wi-fi. If anything major happens in

Three rare Nintendo eShop releases will become much harder to own after March 2023
There is no shortage of exclusive games that will sadly be lost in March of 2023 when Nintendo finally retires the eShop for Wii U and 3DS. But there are three extremely specific pieces of Nintendo’s digital history — already exclusively released only in Japan — that will become much, much harder to legally get
Onigiri MMORPG set to return to PC in 2023 with NFT companions
The English language version of Onigiri, Cyberstep’s long-running MMORPG, shut down just about a year ago last June. Since then the mobile, console, and Steam releases have continued to operate as normal along with the dedicated Japanese and Taiwanese PC clients. But things are set to change on the PC side over the next year
May’s firmware updates made PS3, Vita, and PSP games harder to get (and some inaccessible)
[UPDATE 06/05/22] In all the steps I attempted on my own end I forgot to add that disabling 2-Step Verification *may* still resolve the NP-9968-2 error code. The final step after turning that off, though, is to deactivate your consoles and then reactivate them, a step I was not willing to take given the content
