The Last of Us Season 2 Teaser August 6, 2024

Streaming service MAX (formerly HBO MAX) just released an awesome trailer for their next season of The Last of Us.

The story of The Last of Us is based on the legendary PlayStation game franchise. After the events of the first season wrapped up the story of the first game, Season 2 is shaping up to be an adaptation of the second game in the series. I don’t want to spoil anything from the second game or the new season, but we clearly see new characters from Part II (including Issac) along with Joel and Ellie returning in this brief footage. I can’t wait to watch it when it gets released.

The Last of Us will continue in 2025 on the MAX streaming service.

Ross Scott Starts His Anti-Game Shutdown Petition in the EU August 1, 2024

For a few weeks now, YouTube Legend Ross Scott has been working as a one-man advocate for all gamers worldwide. We’ve seen just over the past few years alone that more game developers have started releasing games that are entirely reliant on their central servers. They say it’s to make the games “better” but we know this is a complete lie. Just over the past decades, I have many full retail game boxes I paid money for I am no longer able to install or run just because the game’s publishers did not want to continue to operate an essential server-side component they intentionally put in the game.

Ross’s goal has been to either force governments to pass laws or courts to create legal precedents that prevent game companies from releasing any video games in a state where it could be shut down, even if the game was not a rental or sold as a subscription service.

Recently he has begun a major petition drive in the EU he believes can force major change. He’s included the details about it in the video below.

If you’re in the EU, you can check out the petition on StopKillingGames. If you aren’t, feel free to spread the word about the petition!
