This week in gaming news: Diablo 4 patch 2.3.2 is here, finally fixing the infamous Echo of Lilith bug and raising fresh discussion around glyph leveling on alts. Meanwhile, itch.io has deindexed a ton of content after pressure from payment processors—just like Valve did—thanks to lobbying from Collective Shout. We break down what this means, and how the Fair Access to Banking Act could change the game.
Ubisoft's Star Wars Outlaws is being labeled a failure, with CEO Yves Guillemot blaming brand fatigue instead of the game’s own issues. Meanwhile, Last Epoch has been acquired by Krafton—makers of PUBG—and fans are worried what this means for Eleventh Hour Games and the future of monetization.
Microsoft reversed its decision to price The Outer Worlds 2 at $80, walking it back to $69.99 after what we can only assume were terrible preorder numbers. And the Stop Killing Games petition has reached 1.4 million signatures, bringing the EU one step closer to requiring studios to preserve access to digital games.
We also touch on No Rest for the Wicked’s co-op update, arriving in about 2 months, plus the multiplayer hub hidden in Sacrament.
