Gamers deserve better than exploitative monetisation. Ukie raises concerns over the EU’s Digital Fairness Act, Gamer’s Voice believes unfair practices MUST be tackled.
But regulation should target exploitation, not punish players or developers. pocketgamer.biz/ukie-warns-e… #Gaming
Canadian research finds 70% of respondents say video games help them stay connected, while 63% say they help build community.
As the UK considers restricting communication in games, policymakers must recognise the friendships and communities at stake. mobilesyrup.com/2026/11/09/v…

EA has released seven classic remasters on Steam and GOG after an employee stumbled across “nearly 20,000” forgotten archival assets in a storage room.
Producer Jim Vessella led a restoration project that digitized 6,000 items and preserved “an estimated 2,500 hours of historical footage.”
He then spent two years working with community modders to bring classics like Wing Commander and Road Rash back to life.

I grew up isolated in a small rural backwards town. Talking to people online in the MMO Final Fantasy XI between ages 11-16 literally saved my life. Id probably have killed myself if it wasn't for my friends I made there.
Genuinely cannot stand this govt. Ban things & ruin lives

A 17-year-old girl who was abducted and held captive for over 500 days escaped because of Among Us.
Her captor gave her a phone with no cell connection and restricted access, but police found her because she asked a stranger for help in an Among Us match.
More choice for PC gamers :) GOG is bringing its Galaxy client to Linux. Players should be able to choose how they access their games, without unnecessary platform lock-in. gamingonlinux.com/2026/11/a-… #gaming #StopKillingGames

The Government’s plans to restrict in-game chat are making international gaming headlines.
Young people deserve better than blanket restrictions.

Wouldn’t such a tax just disproportionately hit gaming and gamers? A lot of costs will get passed onto consumers.
France has approved a proposal for a new €0.055 tax per GB of internet traffic, and game downloads could be affected.
If GTA 6 ends up being around 218 GB, downloading it could cost €12 in tax under the proposal.
The tax could also affect other big game downloads and streaming services like Netflix and YouTube.
However, it’s not law yet. The proposal still needs to pass through the remaining legislative process in France.

Games with paid loot boxes are being moved to PEGI 16 under updated European age-rating rules. Better consumer protection should tackle harmful business practices for everyone, not turn gaming into an ID checkpoint.
