The Fallout 4 Creation Club goes live with $3 'Horse Armor'
http://www.pcgamer.com/the-fallout-4-creation-club-goes-live-with-3-horse-armor/
Bethesda announced the Creation Club for Skyrim and Fallout 4 earlier this summer as a compromise response to the furious backlash against the paid mods scheme that Valve (very briefly) attempted to roll out in 2015. The idea is that "mods will remain a free and open system," but Creation Club content will require "credits," which must be purchased with "money," making the whole thing basically a matter of semantics: When is a paid mod not a paid mod? When it's in the Creation Club, apparently.

Earlier this month, Blizzard rolled out new "Free-For-All" and "Team Deathmatch" game modes on the Overwatch PTR, where they could be put through their paces before being released to the world at large. Today the studio announced that those paces have been put, and that both modes are now open to everyone on the Overwatch Arcade.

Do you ever get the feeling that you've got to make a move to a town that's right for you? A town that will keep you moving, and even grooving, with some energy? Well don't just talk about it—get a move on! Because it's time to take yourself down to Junkertown, which is now playable on the Overwatch PTR.

 

GTA Online gets a PUBG-style Battle Royale mode in the Smuggler's Run update

The Smuggler's Run update to GTA Online that was announced last week rolled out today, and it brought with it an unexpected surprise: A new and very familiar-sounding Adversary Mode called Motor Wars that Rockstar described as a "tense battle for survival" in which players scrounge for weapons and do battle inside an ever-shrinking "kill box."

 

Valve reinstates standard Steam refund restrictions for Ark: Survival Evolved (Updated)
http://www.pcgamer.com/ark-players-are-getting-steam-refunds-no-matter-how-long-ago-they-bought-the-game/
A post on Reddit today claimed that Steam was allowing players to receive refunds for Ark: Survival Evolved—and that those refund requests were being honored no matter how long ago they bought the game or how long they had played it.
Update: We reported a few minutes ago that Ark refunds were being allowed on Steam regardless of how long players had owned the game, or how many hours they had played. That was true for a while today, but Valve has fixed the issue, and the standard refund rules appear to be back in effect. Well, that's what I get for taking the time to test it out myself and attempting to obtain comments from the developers and Valve. I was late to the party with this story. Sorry, everyone!

 

Sega: 'The Sonic Mania offline play bug has now been patched' [Updated]
http://www.pcgamer.com/sonic-mania-on-steam-requires-an-internet-connection-to-play/
Users are reporting that the Steam version of Sonic Mania needs an internet connection in order to boot. Those trying to access the game while offline are prompted to connect by a pop up box – though once the game's open, a connection is no longer needed.
Update: After assuring players it was hard at work repairing "a problem within the game code" that meant Sonic Mania could only be played online via Steam, Sega has now confirmed an update has fixed the problem.

>>Maybe it has something to do with the game using Denuvo, like Yuri said.
