Square Enix Could Cut Off Game Services For Harassers With New Policy
To counter fan harassment of its employees, from voice actors to developers, Square Enix has implemented a new Group Customer Harassment Policy. The new policy states and defines “customer harassment” of employees whether it’s through violence, defamation, intimidation, or other means. Failing to respect these policies can result in Square Enix rescinding players’ abilities to use its products.
“Such actions do not only prevent our employees and partners from engaging in their work with a sense of security but also causes disruptions to other customers,” the policy reads. “Square Enix will not tolerate harassment and will take action as necessary.”
The policy does not give examples of harassment, but it’s become clear within the gaming community why this inevitably had to be done: toxic fan behavior.
It’s something the company has been dealing with for years. Final Fantasy 14 producer and director Naoki Yoshida has addressed abuse against the game’s developers on m…
Concord To Remain A Part Of Amazon's New Video Game TV Show Despite Shutdown
It’s fair to say that Concord is one of the biggest flops in recent gaming history, with the hero shooter shutting down after just two weeks of existence. However, despite that, it seems that the game will live on through a side story in Prime Video’s video-game-themed TV show Secret Level, which releases on December 10.

Concord was announced as one of the 15 franchises involved in the project, and a source told IGN that the game will remain a part of Secret Level.
Secret Level will also feature new stories in franchises that haven’t seen a fresh entry in some time, such as Mega Man and Unreal Tournament. A brief moment in the trailer led us to think that Keanu Reeves might star in the Armored Core episode, but that ha…
Call Of Duty- Vanguard Does Not Feature Red Dead's Arthur Morgan Actor, Despite That Photo
Actor Roger Clark, who plays Arthur Morgan in Rockstar’s Red Dead Redemption II, has responded to a rumor that he’ll appear in the next Call of Duty game.
In late July, Clark posted a photo of himself from an upcoming project on Instagram that showed the actor dressed in period clothing and wielding a rifle. Based on this image, people wondered if he was teasing an appearance in the next Call of Duty game, which is believed to be the World War II title Vanguard from Sledgehammer Games. But the tease is for an upcoming World War I horror movie, not any game.
“No guys, this was for an upcoming feature. A WWI horror,” he said. “In the post I said how nice it was to get in front of the camera again. Gaming studios don’t usually go for filming on set, in costume. Honored you’re interested in me do something like that though, cheers.”
