A free retro Nintendo game emulator is now live on the Apple App Store, and because of recent changes made to Apple's app review guidelines, it's actually permitted to be on there. Whether Nintendo will take kindly to it is another matter, given its stance that "supporting emulation also supports the illegal piracy of our products."
The Dragon's Dogma 2 community has united under the banner of rotten food to combat the spread of Dragonsplague
04.04.2024 - 09:37 / techradar.com
Dragon's Dogma 2 players are getting creative in warning others of its deadly Dragonsplague mechanic.
Dragonsplague has proven to be such a problem that players are now devising ways to warn others about it before it's too late. One community thread on Steam (spotted by Eurogamer) suggests sending Pawns back to their player with a gift item that suggests something's off.
«Point is, when I recruit a pawn that is clearly exhibiting plague signs, I want to 'return to sender' with a gift that says 'hey, your pawn is about to explode, you might want to throw their ass in a lake,'» the original post reads. «I've thought about a rotten apple but those aren't readily available because they have to rot, and any rotting stuff I've always interpreted as 'your pawn sucks.'»
While some are also suggesting sending a Pawn packing with rotten fruit, others are bringing forward options that may come across as less toxic, such as a wilted flower or a detoxifying potion to hint that the Pawn needs curing.
In case you're unfamiliar, Dragonsplague affects the game's AI-controlled Pawns who fight alongside you and is typically contracted by coming into contact with a drake or lesser dragon enemy. Once a Pawn has it, symptoms will escalate from reddish eyes and disobeying orders to, well, I won't spoil the surprise here. The feature has proven to be quite divisive among the Dragon's Dogma 2 community. But honestly, I think it rules.
While Dragonsplague has been a source of great frustration for many players, I think it's pretty fantastic that the community is working together to devise a universal way of warning others about it. This kind of community discussion, and thinking outside the box, is something you rarely see in the AAA space.
Dragon's Dogma 2 has proven to be a huge success both critically and commercially. Clips of playthroughs are abundant on social media, and the game has sold over 2.5 million copies less than two weeks out from its March 22 launch.

Star Wars Outlaws creative director says the Jedi "didn't even enter the picture" when deciding what the open-world game would be about
Star Wars Outlaws is set to launch later this year, and beyond offering an open world to explore, it's also going to allow players to step into the shoes of a scoundrel named Kay Vess. Needless to say, it's shaping up to be quite a departure from the lightsaber-swinging action we're used to from the recent Star Wars Jedi games, but the creative director of Outlaws says that the idea of having Jedi at the forefront of the game "didn't even enter the picture."

The Fallout TV show has revived an ancient argument about Vault Boy's thumb
Last week I went to a screening of Amazon and Bethesda's Fallout TV show, a spin-off yarn starring Ella Purnell (who voiced Jinx in the Arcane Netflix adaptation) as a recently surfaced Vault Dweller, scouring the irradiated wastelands for [SPOILERS REDACTED]. It's early days, but the show's first two episodes didn't make a massive impression on me, though I will concede that the sight of Amazon's branding on Fallout's infamous Please Stand By emergency broadcast titlecard makes a dangerous amount of sense.
