That's quite interesting, it seems like quite a huge vulnerability with LOCALSYSTEM privileges. I can't see why it was rejected as being out of scope by Valve. It could've been used to cause some real mayhem.

It looks like to join the class action lawsuit you need to have 'suffered' some financial loss (beyond having your account details hacked). Not great press for Epic!

I was really not impressed with Thrones of Brittania as a Total War Saga.. I was looking forward to having another Total War set in Great Britain, but it turned out to be not a great 'Attila' expansion which introduced some mechanics which made the game substantially worse (estates). I was expecting more of a 'Fall of the Samurai' type standalone game. Hopefully they learn from their mistakes and do something vaguely interesting with the next entry.. but Greek states have been done to death in Total War already.

Rachid Lotf created this fantastic rendering of a late 90s/early 2000s PC gaming room. This reminds me so much of my own memory of PC gaming - big beige box, thick CRT monitor, an obsession with Neon Genesis Evangelion, and large quantities of classic big boxed PC games. There a short interview with the artist on PC Gamer and it's amazing to find out that the artist is from Morocco, which goes to show how PC gamers from all countries have a shared collective experience and nostalgia. You can find more artwork and even order prints from Rachid's ArtStation account, including another artwork called PC Master Race:

DuckTales Remastered is going be removed from all digital storefronts including Steam on August 8th, according to this official tweet from Capcom USA:
This gives us barely over one day's notice to quickly snap up this game for the last time on Steam. Luckily Steam keys should continue to be available on official resellers like Gamesplanet where it is conveniently on a 75% flash sale. Make sure to buy a piece of history before they run out of keys!

These are only the numbers for the 1st day of refunds, I suspect the number is at least in the thousands. SidAlpha mentioned a 4000 refund estimate. The real number has yet to be released.
-
If SidAlpha's sources are to be believed it means that 4000+ out of 20,000 pre-orders have been cancelled due to this EGS announcement.

I would encourage people to watch the Asghan stream as it's hilarious and short (30mins). Amazing what a broken game it is and what does/doesn't work from the era of early 3D platform/action games in the vein of Tomb Raider but amusingly bad.

Thanks so much for posting this! Please come back and post highlights/updates as well.
Can you also tell us a bit more about the prep work you did for the games, did they need to be modified to be tracked correctly?
-
This seems like a nice feature as the standard UWP applications are so locked down and opaque and difficult to modify.

Widescreen Gaming Forums is one step close to being shut down thanks to idiots at Google, this is another example what this site should report about.
This is something we are aware of and we are working with Skip to help resolve - we will be ready to write a news article soon once our plans are in place.
In the meantime please feel free to make submissions of your own on our News section.
We are opent o writing up things like dgVoodoo update which was a couple of weeks ago - but there doesn't seem to be a changelog, what's changed exactly?

I can't believe Super Monkey Ball has never come to the PC before, especially considering Sega have done a good job with PC ports lately of their Japanese games.
Console release date is October 29th 2019, hopefully we'll see the PC version come out around the same time.

The people who made this change.org petition to release Tetris Effect on Steam are gonna be seriously disappointed!

90 FPS is such an arbitrary cap, it's not like there are any monitors that run at 90 Hz. At least cap it something sensibile like 120 Hz or 144 Hz.

The actual trailer and gameplay for this looks fantastic. I don't fancy doing another playthrough of SC1 but it looks like such a fresh coat of paint:

Classic games The Lion King (1994) and Disney's Aladdin (1993) have been delisted from Steam without so much as a word.
Thankfully GOG.com have given a short warning of just over 24 hours in this forum post announcement :
QuoteWe'd like to inform you that Disney The Lion King and Disney Aladdin are being delisted from our catalog on July 9th, 2PM UTC, due to the publisher's request. Everyone who owned the games prior to delisting will still be able to access them through their GOG Library.
Another Disney game, The Jungle Book, has been delisted from Steam but still available from GOG.com - who knows if more Disney games will be delisted in the future?

I'm not 100% convinced that the PC Digital Download logo means Epic but it certainly looks really similar.

I'm quite a big fan of Attack on Titan and really enjoy the anime. I've been keeping my eye out on the PC game for quite a while, however it is quite clear that they are taking the piss with the pricing model for this game. Some background:
Attack on Titan 1 was released in August 2016.
Attack on Titan 2 was released in March 2018.AOT1 does get 50% sales every now and then. However, from what I've read, AOT2 is basically AOT1 with some additional content (and some first person character changes) and makes AOT1 completely redundant. Furthermore AOT2 is basically full price game (£54.99) with the only sale being August 2018 (30% off on Steam) thus far.
On July 5th 2019, they have just released AOT2 DLC called 'Final Battle' which basically covers the entire 3rd season anime content. It's being sold for an eye watering £34.99, which is virtually a 'full priced' game in and of itself.
Of course as PC gamers we expect deep discounts every now and then but we are certainly not entitled to them. If Koei Tecmo want to never deep discount then that's perfectly within their remit. However this pricing structure is basically taking the piss, the cost for the full experience on Steam are:
AOT 1: £49.99
AOT 2: £54.99
Final Battle DLC: £34.99
Total: £139.97If you bought AOT1, AOT2 and the DLC - this in total might make up the content of 1.5 of a 'full' game.

I ended up getting a GTX 1070 Mini from Zotac - I initially purchased for £299.99 but then it dropped down to £249.99 which was incredible value. However it's still not quite driving 3440x1440 as well as I'd liked, in Apex Legends it doesn't quite hold 75FPS on medium settings at 3440x1440. I'm probably expecting too much from a sub-£300 card, and I'm already keeping my eye out for an upgrade! GPU prices are still insanely high though.

@BloodTiger has kindly uploaded his autosave disabler here:
I'm unsure how this could be added to the main wiki page as I haven't played the game and not sure what disabling the autosave achieves exactly:

Its great that this content is coming, but it seems he is only doing it because of the backlash. If this backlash never happened, I'd imagine they would have done jack shit.
I suppose it's good that a backlash has achieved the desired result, I can't imagine a 'better' outcome even if the publisher never really cared beyond the backlash.

Twitter user @JackoMako51 has found mentions of "RDR2_PC_Accomplishments" and other mentioned of Red Dead Redemption 2 in the code as part of the Rockstar Games Social Club, see this tweet:
No one is really surprised that Red Dead Redemption 2 is being ported to PC, given that Grand Theft Auto V is one of the highest selling games on Steam. However we still await to hear exactly which platforms it will be available on and whether Rockstar will follow suit and release on Steam or make the game exclusive to other platforms.

PCGamingWiki in 2012 was initially envisioned as a technical-only website providing only quantitative data on fixes, and we have been strict on enforcing this for the last 7 years. Partly this was to keep our concept pure and make it easy to attract new editors. Another reason for this was being somewhat unsure of how we could moderate qualitative content - we already have substantial amount of arguments and edit wars about fairly straightfoward technical things!
However there is nothing in about 'PCGamingWiki' which limits itself to only fixes - we can potentially cover anything useful to the average PC gamer. In our Discord chats, I am always amazed about the amount of information about games that we collectively know and discuss, but cannot fit into our narrow single-row settings templates.
There are plans in the future to expand our remit substantially to cover more qualitative content and become more of a one stop shop for everything PC gaming. This is likely to include a Community section somewhere on the page. This probably won't be at the very top, but would be slotted in between other future headers - like 'port history', 'engine', 'reception', 'gameplay', etc.
As with everything on PCGamingWiki, changes like this need to be done over time, as each policy has ramifications over all 37,000 of our current articles. However a Community section, and other sections are on our radar. I believe that eventually becoming the 'one stop shop' could catapult PCGW as the #1 resource for everything PC gaming - potentially even the top search result for every PC game. This in turn will expand our editor base substantially, making it possible to finally have the manpower to fix every single PC game, past and future.

I admit I am currently playing a lot of Apex Legends (nearly 200 hours) and bought the Season 1 pass which I'm very happy with! Looking forward to the map changes and the new legend.

This is very impressive, thank you for the list. We will work on adding this to the Localization template on the wiki. If you find more you can post as a reply to this post.
