VRChat Community Rises Up Against AI-Generated Content Flooding the Platform

VRChat is facing growing backlash from its own community over an influx of AI-generated content, often dubbed "AI slop," that members say is clogging the platform and making it harder to discover genuine, handcrafted creations. A prominent community figure has kicked off a formal protest, drawing widespread attention to the issue and putting pressure on the platform's developers to take action. The movement highlights a tension that is becoming increasingly common across creative platforms: as AI tools lower the barrier to content creation, the sheer volume of low-effort generated material can drown out work made by dedicated human creators.

Valor Mortis Launches to Mixed Reviews as a Bold Napoleonic First-Person Soulslike

Valor Mortis, a first-person Soulslike set against the backdrop of Napoleon's Grande Armée, has officially launched on PC, and the reviews are in. The game blends Napoleonic warfare with a grotesque, necromantic horror setting, swapping the familiar bubonic plague trappings of the genre for something described as a "fleshy, pustulating" supernatural menace on the battlefield. Critics broadly agree that the game's atmosphere and world-building are its strongest assets, with Destructoid calling the combination of history and monster-hunting "the perfect Soulslike setting," and Rock Paper Shotgun praising it as one of the freshest entries in the genre in years.

Nintendo Confirms No Plans to Ditch Physical Games

Nintendo has officially reaffirmed its commitment to physical game releases, with Bill van Zyll, VP and General Manager for Nintendo in Latin America, going on record to confirm the company has "no plans to ditch physical games." The statement comes amid growing industry conversation around the future of physical media, particularly after Sony announced it would move toward a digital-only game marketplace starting in 2028. Nintendo, by contrast, is taking what it describes as an "agnostic" approach, keeping physical releases as a core part of its strategy rather than pushing consumers exclusively toward digital storefronts.

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Year 2 DLC Breaks Deluxe Edition Promise

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is under fire from fans who say the game's Year 2 DLC content, including a Final Fantasy 7 crossover pack, should be free for anyone who purchased the Digital Deluxe Edition. The higher-tier version of the game was marketed as including "all future paid DLC," a promise players are now pointing to as proof they should not be charged for a second season pass. The backlash has been swift and vocal, with one frustrated buyer summing up the sentiment bluntly: "Paid $100 for this sh*t, guess I learned my lesson."

No Man's Sky Coming to iPhone with All 10 Years of Updates

Hello Games has announced that No Man's Sky, the sprawling universe-sized space sim that has been continuously updated for a decade, is coming to iPhone and iPad.

The only notable compromise is the loss of multiplayer functionality, with the solo experience otherwise arriving fully intact.
