No surprise here — Electornic Arts is giving the middle finger to gamers and preservationists in unison as Rocket Arena, a game that was delisted back in November, is getting its server shut down. The 2020 3v3 shooter is, of course, online-only, meaning once servers shut down, the game is unavailable to play in any capacity.…
Stellar Blade is among the line of Sony’s anticipated first-party release schedule, with a demo almost a certainty as these sorts of features are becoming more standard with the ninth generation of console. However, it seems whoever is in charge of the storefront accidentally launched the Stellar Blade demo ahead of schedule, leading to people clambering to access it before it was inevitably taken down.…
After Nintendo strong-armed Yuzu into submission, requiring them pay $2.5 million and shutter both Yuzu and Citra, DraStic, a once premium Nintendo DS emulator, has changed its model. Originally found on the Android Play Store priced at $4.99, this 1M+ downloaded emulator with strong reception is now free.
As spotted by GamingOnLinux, DraStic is now free largely due to the unsafe implications the Yuzu case has on the state of emulators.…
Nintendo has revealed three new Game Boy (and GB Color) games being added to Switch Online right on the heels of killing Yuzu and Citra. Of course, as we all know, Switch Online is just its paid service to be able to play a fraction of its library through the very thing that the Big N wiggles their finger at — emulation.…
Just as expected, Warner Bros. Discovery is pulling every game published and developed by Adult Swim Games in a move that we can only describe as wildly anti-preservation.

Once the chips stop working on your original console and you slash your last Stalfos in Zelda: Ocarina of Time, or stomp on your last Goomba in Super Mario 64, it may be time to resort to using an emulator to recapture that same feeling.…
Another Nintendo emulator is fading into the ether as its core developer — Davide Berra — seeks to prioritize his family over the development of the Pizza Emulators. The emulator was known for being on Android available via the Google Play Store. Since he’s not working on the project any more, he has yanked it from the storefront, likely to never be seen again.…
Adult Swim Games doesn’t have an expansive, AAA library or anything, but what it does have is a library of games dating back to 2004 ranging from indies it helped prop up to internally developed flash titles. Well, it seems like that’s going away with reveal that Warner Bros. Discovery is doing away with some of its library.…
