Button Bash - Glorious Leader Kickstarter Cancelled By Hackers
16Glorious Leader!, a satirical 2D run'n'gun that was set to let players control North Korea's Kim Jong Un, has had its Kickstarter campaign cancelled after the developers were hacked.
Refunds are being issued to players of H1Z1 – a survival MMO sandbox that’s currently available as part of Steam Early Access – after complaints regarding the in-game microtransactions.
Sony Online Entertainment president, John Smedley, originally said that the game would not include any microtransactions for in-game guns, ammunition, food or water. He told Reddit a few months ago:
"That's kind of the whole game and it would suck in our opinion if we did that."
Upon release, H1Z1 technically does have weapons and other useful tools available via 'airdrop' microtransactions, despite Smedley also saying there was "no way there would be weapons" in airdrops at all.
H1Z1's senior game designer Adam Clegg, or 'arclegger' said that the same thing regarding airdrops a while back, and more recently mentioned that the company has received an "overwhelming" amount of feedback from players claiming that they have been misled.
