Sega has canceled its live service ‘Super Game’ due to ‘intensifying market competition,’ and I really, really hope it’s a sign that the industry is finally correcting itself

Sega has canceled its "Super Game" project, originally intended to redefine gaming by March 2026, and is redirecting around 100 developers to create traditional "Full Games" that require upfront payment. This decision reflects a reevaluation of the company's priorities in light of competitive market dynamics and the challenges posed by established titles. Sega aims to focus on nurturing existing franchises like Sonic, Crazy Taxi, and Jet Set Radio, avoiding layoffs or studio closures. The gaming industry is experiencing a shift towards a preference for quality single-player titles over live service models, as seen with other companies like Capcom and NetEase.

‘F-Droid’ allows you to easily install and automatically update free, open-source Android apps other than those on Google Play.

Google Play is a primary platform for Android app distribution but poses challenges for developers of free and open-source software due to registration fees and a strict review process. As an alternative, users can install apps via APK files, which allow direct installation but come with security risks. F-Droid is a dedicated repository for free and open-source Android applications, offering built-in update notifications and support. To use F-Droid, users must manually install the app from its official website. After installation, users can navigate the interface to find and install apps, grant permissions for updates, and manage app installations, including enabling settings for unknown sources. F-Droid provides a user-friendly experience for locating and updating apps, ensuring that users have access to secure and regularly updated software.

Loving MMOs in 2026 is an exercise in frustration, grief, and moving on

This week’s edition of Terminally Online reflects on the current state of Massively Multiplayer Online games (MMOs), highlighting a mix of nostalgia and concern. The genre includes popular titles like The Elder Scrolls Online, Final Fantasy 14, and Guild Wars 2, but recent cancellations of new MMOs have caused unease among players, with 2025 referred to as an “MMO massacre.” Projects such as New World and Project Blackbird have been canceled, emphasizing the fragility of the genre. Players often find themselves relying on established games as excitement for new releases wanes. Investing time in MMOs can yield rewards but also leads to frustration due to the evolving nature of these games, which can dishearten long-time players. World of Warcraft exemplifies this with its fluctuating quality and controversial expansions. Titles like Final Fantasy 14 have been praised for their narratives but criticized for gameplay stagnation. The history of MMOs shows that even successful games like City of Heroes and Star Wars: Galaxies eventually fade, leaving communities in a state of uncertainty. Factors contributing to this stagnation include shareholder pressure for consistent growth, which can hinder creativity and lead to a focus on short-term profits. Despite these challenges, there is hope for the future of MMOs, as the industry is cyclical. Upcoming projects, such as Riot’s new MMO, may inspire renewed interest and community engagement. The desire for a vibrant MMO landscape and the friendships formed within these games remain strong among players.
