Cyberpunk 2077’s class action lawsuit settlement has been approved

Cyberpunk 2077 launched in a sorry state, prompting rending of garments by gamers and a class action lawsuit from CD Projekt Red investors. That suit alleged that CDPR had “made materially false or misleading statements” regarding the game, particularly as related to the condition of its console release, and sought damages.

Now a proposed settlement has been approved by a federal judge in California’s Central District. The settlement reached will see CDPR pay out $1.85 million USD (around £1.52m GBP), or roughly $0.49 per eligible share.

Roguelike slot machine game Luck Be A Landlord spins out of early access

Slay The Spire are a little rarer, though, so I also like that Luck Be A Landlord just left Steam Early Access.

It’s about adding symbols to a slot machine, rather than removing monsters from a dungeon. You emerge from each run with sentences less like ‘damn, if only I’d picked more block cards’ and more like ‘damn, if only I hadn’t invested so much in coal and instead focused on feeding milk to my cats’.

Blizzard have added a big new Overwatch 2 Kiriko bug while purging an old one

Overwatch 2 Kiriko bug that let her teleport while holding the flag in Capture the Flag mode. Bad news! In doing so they seem to have broken the cleanse effect attached to her Swift Step ability, meaning she can no longer purge debuffs. The bug appeared after yesterday’s update and isn’t mentioned in the patch notes, so yep, it’s a bug rather than a balance change. Hopefully she’ll get back to cleansing soon.

Team Fortress 2 voice actors, who continue to enrich the internet with their nonsense. We’ve seen them lark about on a ferry. We’ve seen them confuse bakery staff, and amuse the guy behind a counter at a convenience store. Now, we get to see them perform an ABBA parody celebrating sandwiches. The Sniper plays banjo, and the Pyro’s contributions are soul warming. Enjoy.

The devs behind 2021’s most interesting visual novel are back with a new game teaser

OPUS: Prism Peak this morning, the latest game from Taiwanese developer Sigono in their loosely-connected series of jaw-droppingly pretty visual novels. Described as a spiritual sibling to their most recent OPUS game, the brilliant Echo Of Starsong, the exact magic combo of words that made my eyes go all wide and saucer-like was “a cross between What Remains Of Edith Finch and Makoto Shinkai films”, which just – you know what, I’m going to shut up now so you can watch the teaser trailer.
