Earlier today, news site Lapresse.ca published a huge feature about the Google Stadia including a huge amount of detail. The article featured prices, game details and even a launch date. As Google are due to hold a press conference later today it’s looking likely that this was a pre-prepared article which was swiftly removed once the site realised their error.

At the end of the day whether Edelgard was the villain or the anti-hero of the story depends on your own beliefs and ideologies....

Most of the time when an independent developer rips off a video game, the original developer files a lawsuit and walks away. However that doesn’t seem to be the style of Cabel Sasser, the publisher of Firewatch who took to Twitter to troll developer Albert Gavril’s mobile title New Firewatch, a ripoff of last year’s Firewatch.
