Tekken 8’s newest cash shop skin commits the cardinal sin of forgetting Lili’s skirt lace, Harada reassures fans he’ll ‘request a fix from the costume team’ for his wrongdoings
Tekken 8’s cash shop has been pretty heavily lambasted since its introduction back in March.

Final Fantasy 14’s blacklisting functionality is getting an overdue overhaul: ‘it is time we implement features to protect everyone’s experience’
With expansion Dawntrail around the corner, there are some big changes coming to Final Fantasy 14. Some of these were outlined in a 14-hour livestream that took place over the weekend, and one in particular stood out to me: an overhaul to how blacklisting players works.

MultiVersus fans have become convinced that the game is now slower, and they absolutely hate it
MultiVersus is in its makeover montage era right now. It’s been “rebuilt from the ground up” in Unreal Engine 5, ready to emerge with its glasses off and hair down sometime in May. Are people excited about that? Maybe not so in the wake of new clips that have fans convinced the game looks and…
