Released into early access back in July 2020, Grounded adapts the familiar gathering-and-crafting survival formula into a rollicking family friendly adventure inspired by the likes of Honey, I Shrunk the Kids and A Bug’s Life. Here, players are miniaturised and sent on a conspiracy laden escapade around their now-towering backyard, forced to fend off giant insects and other creatures as they explore, scavenge, and plot their escape. According to Deadline, Grounded’s new television adaptation will follow the same basic premise, telling the story of four friends who, the summer before high school, find their plans to elevate their social standing upended after discovering shrinking technology that makes them two inches tall....

Developed by Bulletstorm and Gears of War: Judgment studio People Can Fly, the sci-fi RPG shooter has picked up positive reactions from its recent demo.

(Including one person who has, for some reason, played 254 hours in just 15 days....

But today it did. Today I learnt about a plight I had no idea about until now, and I learnt it from a game. It’s a Czech game called Svoboda 1945: Liberation, and it’s about Germans living in the borderlands of (then) Czechoslovakia at the end of the Second World War. They had lived there long before, but when the war ended, they were driven from their homes, and brutally so....

Specifically, Krafton (thanks TechCrunch) is targeting the continued availability of Garena’s Free Fire games - which it calls “thinly veiled unauthorised versions of Battlegrounds” - with the original Free Fire having already been the recipient of a legal challenge by the PUBG developer. Free Fire: Battlegrounds, as Garena’s game was rather shamelessly known at the time of the original lawsuit, launched for mobile devices shortly after PUBG’s release in 2017 (PUBG Mobile arrived the following year) and Krafton’s initial lawsuit, which accused Garena of copying key elements of its game, resulted in a settlement between the two companies in Singapore....
