It's been 15 years since the release of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. But in spite of all those years gone by, Rockstar and Take-Two Interactive were slapped with a lawsuit over the game just last week—by the Psychic Readers Network, no less.

Against its fiercest digital football simulating rival FIFA, Konami's Pro Evolution Soccer series has come on leaps and bounds in recent years. Despite Lee Hall's respective reviews, I actually preferred the latter's latest offering, despite its distinct and enduring lack of official licensing.

As its community continues to grow, people are getting ridiculously good at Rocket League. But the downside of an ever-growing playerbase is an unfortunately inevitable increase of abusive players. "The cornerstone of addressing in-game harassment is our 'Player Mute' and 'Report' systems," says Psyonix in a new blog post—which is something the developer's new 'Language Ban' hopes to address even further.
