Sony Removes Over 1,000 Shovelware Games from the PlayStation Store

Sony sometimes removes games from its store, which isn’t common. This usually happens when the game’s online servers are no longer running, like with the game Concord, which was removed just two weeks after release. Sometimes, licenses for the game’s content expire and aren’t renewed, leading to removal. However, it’s currently unclear if that’s why ThiGamesDE’s games were taken down.

I Haven’t Bought a Nintendo Switch 2 Yet, But My Wallet is Ready for February 27

Honestly, none of the games announced for the new Nintendo Switch 2 are really grabbing me enough to make me upgrade. Especially since I can still play the games I do want on my current Switch! Take Pokemon Legends: Z-A – it’s already on my old Switch, so there was no reason to buy a new console just for a slightly better version. Same with Metroid Prime 4 – if I had to buy a whole new Switch just to play that, it would have actually made me less excited about it. I’m not a huge Kirby or Mario person, so while I might check out Kirby Air Riders and Mario Kart World eventually, I’m happy to wait. I was a little bummed about Donkey Kong Bananza, but it wasn’t enough to make me pull the trigger on a new console just for that one game.

Dragon Ball DAIMA Gets New Ending Setting Up Sequel Series & Movie

The game Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot includes an additional scene after the credits that follows a major plot twist. Considering a new Dragon Ball project is scheduled to be revealed on January 25, 2026, this extra content may have accidentally revealed details about Dragon Ball DAIMA‘s return – whether it’s a second season or a new movie. The ending of the game’s downloadable content is brief, but it cleverly sets the stage for a potential sequel.

ARC Raiders Concept is Borderline Genius

Despite still having room for improvement, ARC Raiders has proven to be a major win for both Embark Studios and Nexon. Nexon reports that the game has sold 2.4 million copies this year, bringing the total sales to 12.4 million. Reviews from both players and critics are overwhelmingly positive – it currently has a ‘Very Positive’ rating on Steam and an 86 on Metacritic. The game is also incredibly popular, recently reaching over 960,000 concurrent players on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. Many predicted a difficult launch for Embark’s second game, given its release between Battlefield 6 and Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, but players are clearly excited for a new experience. ARC Raiders has impressively retained 91% of its initial player base on Steam.

Bitcoin on the Brink of a Hundred Grand: A Tale of Tariffs, Courts, and Crazy Riches

Bitcoin shot past $97,000 on January the 14th, with all the subtlety of a bull in a china shop – thanks to a wild stew of legal limbo, record-breaking investments, and a whole lot of folks betting the farm that this digital gold ain’t done climbing yet. Don’t that beat all? The Supreme Court, in a move slicker than a Mississippi eel, kicked the tariff decision down the road-twice!-letting the crypto crowd get their hopes up higher than a kite on a windy day. After busting through $95,000, it went on to roar up nearly 5%, hitting a peak of $97,797, making it look like it’s got a date with destiny-and maybe a cheeseburger or two. 🍔
