Overkill 2 Preview:
Video games are struggling to be regarded as legitimate forms of expression, which sometimes results in some mixed-up scenarios. You might be playing a role-playing game, or you might be reading a novel about love, triumph, and tragedy—sometimes it’s hard to tell. But there’s no doubt what Overkill for iOS is about: Acquiring guns, upgrading guns, and shooting those guns. Overkill 2 aims to keep the simple message and motive of its predecessor. Spill your enemies’ blood, or your own will paint the ground.

League of Legends enforces 'zero tolerance' policy on test server
League of Legends enforces 'zero tolerance' policy on test server:
Filed under: Fantasy, Culture, Free-to-play, MOBA, League of Legends
Riot Games is cracking down hard on noxious player attitudes and actions on League of Legends' public beta environment (PBE) server. The studio admits that it has not done enough to enforce player behavior guidelines on the server. Riot also says that this ends now.
"Our take-away message today is quite simple," the studio posted. "The PBE has zero tolerance for toxicity, and change is coming."
The studio says that the PBE is a premium server that should function under higher standards, and as such the devs are working on ways above and beyond the norm to enforce and improve player behaviors as well as hold players accountable for their actions. One of the new features is an automatic system that will deliver bans to so-called toxic players, starting with 167 such bans today.

EA 'pleased' with SWTOR F2P so far:
Filed under: Sci-fi, Business models, MMO industry, Free-to-play, Star Wars: The Old Republic
In EA's third quarter earnings call, the company mentioned SWTOR and expressed cautious optimism toward the changes that free-to-play brought to the game.
"As a reminder," CFO Blake Jorgensen reported, "on November 15th we launched our free-to-play option for Star Wars: The Old Republic. Very early indications have been positive and we are pleased with the initial results, but it is too early to know how successful this will be in the long term."
Jorgensen said that SWTOR, among other titles, helped to contribute a tidy sum to the company: "Extra content and free-to-play contributed $185 million, up 50% led by FIFA and Madden Ultimate Team and Star Wars: The Old Republic."
