PC gaming remains undefeated: Nintendo now says it has the right to brick your Switch if it thinks you’re pirating games or modifying the console

Nintendo has updated its online user agreement, allowing the company to make a console "permanently unusable" if a user violates the agreement. The revised End User License Agreement (EULA) includes extensive restrictions on actions such as publishing, modifying, or distributing Nintendo Account Services, as well as using unauthorized copies. The EULA also places responsibility on legal guardians for minors and emphasizes that users do not own their games outright but merely license them. Concerns about backward compatibility and potential service discontinuation for the upcoming Switch 2 have emerged, alongside a growing preference among gamers for more control over their gaming experiences.

After a decade of development, Roboquest’s developer is calling time on its roguelite shooter: ‘There’s no way we can continue to provide content for players with over 1,000 hours of gameplay’

In the early days of gaming, post-launch support was minimal and primarily focused on bug fixes. Today, players expect ongoing support and new content for months or years after a game's release. RyseUp Studio, the developers of Roboquest, announced that after a decade of support, they will soon conclude updates for the game. The only remaining updates will be a PlayStation port and a standalone spinoff, Roboquest VR. Despite the game's positive reception on Steam with over 16,000 reviews, the studio is transitioning to a new project, aiming for a more efficient development plan. This situation highlights the evolving expectations in game development, particularly for smaller studios facing pressure to deliver extensive support.
