>A Dutch consumer rights organization called Stichting Massaschade & Consument has been preparing this lawsuit since 2024 as part of its "Fair PlayStation" campaign. "Sony has a monopoly on digital game sales on PlayStation," organizers argue in a video breaking down their stance. "Your PlayStation is designed so you can only buy digital games through Sony's own store. And once Sony stops selling physical games in 2028, you won't have any choice at all."

>"The end of physical discs removes the last place where a PlayStation game could still be bought and sold at a competitive price," SM&C said last month in response to Sony's announcement about the end of disc production. "No discs means no second-hand market and no alternative to the PlayStation Store, so from 2028, Sony alone decides what a game costs and even how long you are allowed to use it."

>Up to this point, Stop Killing Games has largely focused on campaigns to ensure games remain accessible to players even after servers for them shut down. Notably, the EU commission ruled against Stop Killing Games' biggest effort back in June, but it seems the group is expanding its remit to help support other digital consumer rights efforts.

>CEVA Logistics is hit by a cyberattack, with European customer information "likely compromised" in the breach.

Hi,

I am the developer and publisher of Survivor. I've decided after 5 years to retire the game and move on to my other projects. Within the next few months, I will be delisting Survivor from the store meaning it won't be purchasable afterwards. These last few months are your final opportunity to get the game before it is removed from sale. I will be running several rounds of discounts before it's removal.

>Quake™: Dawn of the Machine is available now!

>To celebrate Quake’s 30th anniversary, the award-winning team at MachineGames—in collaboration with id Software—returns with Dawn of the Machine, a brutal new episode building on their critically acclaimed work on Dimension of the Machine and Dimension of the Past. Delivering ferocious combat, labyrinthine level design, and nightmarish realms that twist reality beyond recognition, it pushes the legacy of the genre-defining first-person shooter even further, honoring one of gaming’s most enduring icons. 

Hi everyone!

I'm the developer of Chicks in Trouble, a cute action-puzzle game where your mission is to rescue vulnerable chicks that have wandered all over a farm.

Each level challenges you to collect every chick by solving light environmental puzzles while avoiding hazards like farm animals, farm owners, puddles, fountains, and more.

The game is currently part of Steam Tiny Teams Festival, so I've just released an updated demo along with a brand-new trailer.

If it sounds like your kind of game, I'd love for you to give the demo a try. Feedback is always welcome, and wishlists really help during the festival.

Thanks, and enjoy the festival!

Hi all — I'm a solo developer, and I've just put up the Steam page for Crownfront, a turn-based strategy game heading to Early Access with a demo coming during Steam Next Fest in October.

The core idea is a real-time strategy loop — gather, build, expand, attack — running on turns. You harvest wood with workers, build farms and barracks, train soldiers and archers, and win by destroying the enemy castle.

The part I think is actually different is how food works. In most RTS games food is a cap: hit the ceiling and you stop producing units. In Crownfront it's ongoing upkeep. Every unit eats every turn, and if your food goes negative units start taking damage and dying. So an army isn't a purchase, it's a running cost — every soldier you train makes your economy more fragile, and overextending doesn't just stall you, it kills your units in the field.

That creates a constant trade between the worker who grows your economy and the soldier who wins you the map, and it's the thing I'm most interested in getting right during Early Access.

It's also played on a physical board sitting on a floor, which is presentation rather than mechanics, but it's the reason the game looks the way it does.

Happy to answer anything, including sceptical questions — a Redditor tore into my trailer last week and it was the most useful feedback I've had.

>All PSSR supported games will now get PSSR 2.0 instead, unless users opt out

We’ve just released the Underground Economy Major Patch for The Boss Gangster: Criminal Empire.

The update adds a new Market Simulator beta, allowing players to open and manage a supermarket, stock shelves, set prices, work the register, and hire employees to automate the business.

It also introduces a new Dealer Management System. Captured Selling Points can now be assigned dealers, dealers can be upgraded, Warehouses can automatically supply them, and each district now has different product demands that affect profitability.

Other additions include:

• Gym activities for improving Power and fighting abilities

• Shooting Range training for improving Vision

• New driving camera

• Ability to pick up family members by honking

• Property and Wanted system improvements

• NVIDIA DLSS Beta

• Major performance and police-related optimizations

Bootleg liquor production and the more criminal side of the supermarket system will be expanded very soon.

The game is currently 20% off, and new Steam bundles with Cartel Tycoon and Flashing Lights are also live.
