Peter Molyneux may have spent the last couple decades earning a reputation as the game industry’s biggest bullshitter, but to those of us of a certain age he will always rank among the greats (and the biggest bullshitter descriptor will always be deployed with a certain affection). The guy had a run through the 1990s…
CD Projekt wrapped up 2025 by selling off GOG, its famously DRM-free digital storefront, to Michal Kiciński , a co-founder of both CD Projekt and GOG.

Hytale is first and foremost a sandbox adventure RPG inspired by Minecraft, but having been made by a team of top Minecraft modders and community members, it’s also built with modding in mind.
