If you tried to boot up a game that uses Denuvo DRM over the weekend (one of which may have been the recently-released Guardians of the Galaxy from Square Enix, for example) you may have noticed that the game would not run. Both Resetera and Steam communities had various threads talking about the issue, with both parts of the gaming community lameting – once again – that Denuvo was spoiling their good time....
The codex entries are included with an interview between two members of the game’s narrative team, Ryan Cormier and Sylvia Feketekuty who discuss the writing process for the next game in the series.

UFC 4 is a full-price title, and it stands to reason that players don’t want to be served ads in a game they’ve paid a premium for in the first place. EA has noted the unanimously negative feedback and has removed ad integration from the game. “Earlier this week, the team turned on ad placements in EA SPORTS UFC 4 that appeared during the “Replay” moments in gameplay,” the publisher said in a statement to Eurogamer....

That’s a pretty impressive number, but it should be noted that includes anyone that’s signed up for the game’s free trial – it doesn’t necessarily mean that 22 million people have purchased the full game. Still, it proves that the title has an impressive draw for new players, and that eight years on from Final Fantasy 14’s relaunch in 2013, it’s still a massive success for Square Enix (thanks Dengeki and Siliconera)....

Now, I know what you’re thinking - uh-oh, Square Enix is doing another Marvel game after Avengers turned out to be a bit of a damp squib. Why isn’t Eidos Montreal making another Deus Ex? And, well, I know. I get it.
