Earlier this week, South of Midnight developer Compulsion Games shared word that they now own all of the publishing rights to their games, a welcome update in light of the ongoing BDS boycott against Microsoft and Xbox. And now, another studio is joining the realm of boycott freedom, this time Psychonauts studio Double Fine, as CEO Tim Schafer has confirmed that they too now own the publishing rights to their own catalogue.

Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time. Broken Age was Tim Schafer s triumphant (?) return to point and click adventure games. It was crowdfunded on Kickstarter, and was the first game where the campaign got sort of wildly out of hand, in that they asked for like $400k and ended up with over $3 million. Developers everywhere starting looking at crowdfunding and rubbing their chins with suspicious intent, and here we are today. (more…)

Tim Schafer, boss of Double Fine and one of the brains behind Monkey Island, will be attending EGX Rezzed - the PC and indie show run by Eurogamer's parent company Gamer Network. Schafer is known for creating Psychonauts, Br tal Legend, Full Throttle, Grim Fandango, and leading the studio behind Broken Age, Costume Quest, as well as the upcoming Psychonauts 2. He's also known for his antics as the public face of his studio - someone comfortable messing around on camera with Muppets, for example, and who doesn't mind telling us what he thinks of Activision boss Bobby Kotick.

Welcome back to the PC Gamer Q&A. Every Saturday, we ask our panel of PC Gamer writers a question about PC gaming. This week: which game do you regret spending money on? We'd also love to hear your suggestions in the comments.  Tim Clark: Elder Scrolls: Legends Unless you're willing to grind like a seaside donkey, CCGs are expensive to stay up to speed with. I generally don't regret spending money on cards, but I do regret quite how much I spent on The Elder Scrolls: Legends. Somewhere along the line I decided I wanted an all-premium (i.e. golden) midrange Sorcerer deck

Last week, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds smashed the Steam peak player records . The previous record-holder, Dota 2, while admittedly made by one of the world’s biggest and most powerful games companies, began as a Warcraft mod. These days, we barely blink an eye at the idea that a game can come from nowhere and shake through word-of-mouth, clever concepts, a bit of cool technology like Portal’s… well, portals… or simply by hooking into some reservoir of good feeling, and accomplish more than any marketing budget can dream of. Minecraft is this generation&#x

Humble has a new bundle to celebrate the Day of the Devs event that will shortly be rocking San Francisco, and it's a good'un that is, if you've somehow managed to avoid acquiring copies of Broken Age, Titan Souls, Lumino City and a few other discount-friendly games. You can pay what you want for copies of the above games, or beat the average for copies of Oxenfree, and Double Fine's Grim Fandango Remastered and Massive Chalice (there are a lot of Double Fine games included here). Meanwhile, an investment of $9 will secure you Day of the Tentacle Remastered, along with a VIP ticket to Day of t

Wowee, isn’t this a nice little surprise to help us shake off the Tuesday Wednesday blues? The latest Humble Bundle – Humble Narrative Bundle – has kicked off and, as always, the first tier is in familiar “pay what you want” format, with Steam keys costing a minimum of $1. Thing is, this particular collection’s premier platform features one-time RPS Game of the Month and FMV Game of 2015 Her Story, cyberpunk retro point-and-clicker Read Only Memories, and Nina Freeman’s lovely semi-autobiographical adventure Cibele. Based on those alone this is probabl

Every once in awhile a Humble Bundle comes along that's just too good to ignore. Today's launch of the Humble Narrative Bundle, featuring Her Story, Broken Age, 80 Days, and Shadowrun: Hong Kong, definitely feels like one of those times. We begin, as always, at the pay what you want level (minimum $1 for Steam keys) for the Bafta award-winning Her Story, the cyberpunk adventure Read Only Memories, and Cibele, James' Personal Pick for 2015. Beating the average price, which is currently sitting at under $3.50, will add Broken Age, Inkle's outstanding adventure 80 Days, and the first two parts of
