"The publisher went defunct over 20 years ago but was recently revived, presumably to cash in on the current era of '90s kid nostalgia. "We're not here to chase ghosts," new Acclaim CEO Alex Josef said in a statement. "We're here to take the energy and chaos that made Acclaim unforgettable and channel it into something new." Acclaim's back catalog would appear to be a licensing nightmare. It includes things like WWF Super WrestleMania and NBA Jam."
"And how did novelist turned film maker Alex Garland achieve every FromSoftware fan's dream of showing his Elden Ring fanfic to Hidetaka Miyazaki? It's another edition of Morning Checkpoint, Kotaku's daily round-up of gaming news and culture. Also, an update on the ongoing saga of the Washington D.C. sandwich slinger: A grand jury of his peers declined to indict the man who throw a hoagie at one of the Border Patrol guards occupying the city earlier this month."
Sony removed the refund chatbot and now allows PS5 digital refunds directly through the PlayStation website or app within 14 days, provided the purchase has not been downloaded. Acclaim has been revived and plans a September 10 showcase; the new CEO promises to channel the publisher's chaotic energy while its licensed back catalog, including WWF Super WrestleMania and NBA Jam, presents clear licensing challenges. The director of Dragon's Dogma expressed reluctance to produce derivative Soulslike work. Alex Garland wrote a lengthy Elden Ring spec script with imagery and traveled to Japan, where Hidetaka Miyazaki reportedly greenlit his approach. A D.C. grand jury declined to indict the hoagie-thrower.
