I don't have too much time for the news today, so here's a quick and dirt version of them:

It appears that DOOM is doing well on the PC as id Software’s title has sold 500K units so far. This information comes from Steamspy; a Steam stats service based on Web API provided by Valve.

 

Dead Island 2 has disappeared from Steam [Updated]

http://www.pcgamer.com/dead-island-2-has-disappeared-from-steam/

t has not been smooth sailing for Dead Island 2. In April of 2015 it was delayed significantly, which is not all that terribly unusual, but then publisher Deep Silver gave the boot to Yager Development, which most definitely was. Techland expressed interest in resuming the mantle, but that went nowhere; then, earlier this year, it came to light that Sumo Digital had taken up the reins.

Update: Deep Silver has issued the following statement regarding the removal of Dead Island 2 from Steam:

"Dead Island 2 is in development with Sumo Digital. Once we have new details to share, we will do so."

Better than nothing, I suppose. We'll keep you posted.

 

Payday 2 is ditching microtransactions

There was a huge uproar among the Payday community last year when Overkill added microtransactions to Payday 2 in the Black Market update, despite a 2013 promise not to. Now that decision has been reversed: Overkill parent Starbreeze Studios announced today that it has acquired the full rights to the Payday franchise from publisher 505 Games, and said microtransactions will be removed from Payday 2 in the next update.

 

Agony is a first-person horror about escaping hell

After finishing Doom it occurred to me how much fun it is to visit hell. Maybe it's the hotter-than-tropical climate, or the hedonism of the locals, or the sense of ancient evil that pervades every corner, but I find it quite a pleasant place to be. So it's lucky that Agony is a game set entirely in hell, and though it tasks you with escaping the devil's cesspit, you'll at least get some good sightseeing done in the meantime.
