Deus Ex, Marathon actor Elias Toufexis doesn’t get why people root for games to fail: ‘Life is so short, man’

Elias Toufexis, known for his role as Adam Jensen, discussed his experiences with social media during a conversation with PC Gamer's Ted Litchfield at GDC. He expressed fatigue with the negativity on platforms like X and admitted to struggling with engaging in controversial discussions. Toufexis highlighted a specific instance of outrage directed at Bungie, noting a comment wishing for the studio's failure due to perceived political ideologies. He welcomed constructive criticism but criticized the excessive negativity and outrage culture online. Toufexis reflected on the scrutiny faced by projects like Starfield and Star Trek: Discovery regarding diversity initiatives, finding some criticisms to be unproductive. Despite these challenges, he observed a shift towards more positive comments in online reviews and expressed hope for a more constructive online discourse in the future.

Claims that Mixtape will be delisted over music licenses are ‘a lie,’ says publisher

Approximately 87 percent of video game titles are unplayable without a physical copy or piracy, leading to concerns when games are delisted from digital platforms. Notably, since the beginning of the year, titles like Star Trek: Resurgence and 29 Disney games have been removed from digital stores. The game Mixtape has secured perpetual licenses for its soundtrack to ensure its availability, alleviating concerns about potential delisting due to music license expiration. Critics have responded positively to Mixtape, describing it as "lovely, beautiful, [and] heartwarming."

Lego racing game 2K Drive will be delisted next week, but online multiplayer won’t shut down until next year

Forza Horizon 6 has been released, while Lego 2K Drive will be removed from the digital marketplace on May 19, three years after its launch. Players who own or purchase the game before this date will retain access to its multiplayer features until May 31 of the following year, after which online functions will cease. Lego 2K Drive has received mixed reviews, with a critic rating it at 59%, citing "greedy microtransactions" as a downside. The game features a kart creator based on real-life Lego specifications but has faced scrutiny for its digital currency bundle aimed at children. Other games, including Disney titles and Star Trek: Resurgence, have also been removed from digital storefronts, with potential licensing issues suggested as a reason for Lego 2K Drive's withdrawal.

Star Trek Voyager: Across the Unknown is a fairly dull curiosity that I’m really enjoying

Tuvix, a character in Star Trek Voyager, is created from a transporter accident that fuses two crew members into one. The decision to separate Tuvix back into his original forms involves sacrificing the unique entity he has become. Retaining Tuvix would provide a powerful asset on missions but would cost the distinct personalities of the original characters. Ultimately, the choice is made to separate Tuvix, restoring the original crew members. The game "Across the Unknown" features a mix of missions inspired by Voyager episodes, with gameplay centered around resource gathering and ship reconstruction. The narrative includes choices, such as dealing with the character Seska, and presents the option to abandon missions, which conflicts with Starfleet principles. The game is described as enjoyable but may not appeal to those unfamiliar with Voyager.
