I hope everyone had a fun Easter/April Fools’ Day. Here’s the weekend news.
- Call of Juarez: Gunslinger is Gone
- Sadokist Suspended for Suggesting Suicide
- Steam Deem the Steam Machine Obscene
Call of Juarez: Gunslinger
Remember the western shooter RPG? While the first few games didn’t do fantastically, their fourth game is commonly considered the best one. For some odd reason, Call of Juarez: Gunslinger has been delisted from Steam, Xbox Live, and the PlayStation Network. Owners of the game can still access their copies, and the demo listing is still live, but the game itself is gone. I emailed Ubisoft, the publisher, asking for a statement. Instead of getting a standard PR answer, they said they will look into it and to stay tuned. So … Time will tell.
Sadokist Suspended
Matthew Trivett, the popular Counter-Strike: Global Offensive commentator with the handle “Sadokist,” has been suspended from Twitch after using racist language during a livestream, and for telling a community member to commit suicide. He said the N word, with the hard R, when taunting a friend in a recent livestream. Later on, he would also tell a community member that killing themselves would be better for everyone. It’s unclear how this will affect his commentating career, moving forward. It can’t be looking too good, though.
Steam Machine
Steam Machines were the game distribution service’s attempt at selling hardware consoles. It was intended as all the power and selection of a PC, with the ease of a console. Unfortunately, no one wanted them. Their OS was problematic, it was limited to Linux games. Now the Steam listing for Steam Machine hardware has been removed. You can still access the pages for specific machines, and purchase them accordingly, but the hardware tab only lists the Controller, Steam Link, and the HTC Vive. Hide your shame, Steam.
I hope you all enjoyed the April Fools’ Post about Game Grumps, been waiting nearly a year to post that one. Check back tomorrow for more news. Otherwise, have a great night!
