Game News

Alright, I have some gaming news for you today. Or maybe you already knew this, but I'm telling you anyway.

First up, EA has launched their Vault for PC. This is a subscription based game library, so for (as of now) €3.99 a month, you can play ALL the games in the vault as much as you want. Unlike Steam, you don't actually own these games, and they can add or remove games as they wish, but for less than the price of a AAA game at launch per year, you do get access to some good titles. I haven't tried this yet, since the relevant games at the moment aren't really to my taste. But do check it out. It seems like a good idea. Oh, and it's not just EA titles, they have some third party stuff as well. The future will tell.

In other news, here's an article that claims that Ubisoft has “dumbed down” the graphics for PC in Tom Clancy's The Division in order to be fair to console owners. This smells like what they did with Watchdogs, but that's another story. Interesting read though. It seems like the big triple A developers are constantly competing with each other to see who can be the biggest jerk to the customers.

That's all I have this week. It's not much I know, but I have the flu, and I feel like last weeks left over pizza; flat, gooey and generally unpleasant. See ya next week!
