https://www.dsogaming.com/news/dark-souls-series-has-sold-27-million-units-with-dark-souls-3-surpassing-10-million-sales/
FromSoftware has announced that the Dark Souls series has sold more than 27 million copies worldwide, on all platforms. Furthermore, the team has revealed that Dark Souls 3 has also sold more than 10 million units on all platforms.
While the team did not reveal any platform-specific sales number, we can at SteamSpy and get an idea of the PC sales.
According to SteamSpy, Dark Souls 3 has sold between 2 and 5 million units on the PC. On the other hand, Dark Souls 2 has sold between 3 and 7 million copies. Lastly, the first Dark Souls has sold between 2.5 and 6 million copies. Again, these aren’t 100% accurate figures, however, they should at least give us rough idea of how Dark Souls performed on the PC.

Epic Games Store has updated its policy, now allowing self-service “refunds” and other features to gamers
https://www.dsogaming.com/users-articles/epic-games-store-has-updated-its-policy-now-allowing-self-service-refunds-and-other-features-to-gamers/
Epic Games Store recently updated its policy on their storefront and now features a self-service ‘refund” policy for gamers. Epic has also changed how the “ownership authorization” works for games bought on EGS.
(...)
You will not be eligible for games from which you have been banned or for which you have otherwise violated the terms of service. In addition, you may not be eligible for refunds if Epic determines that you are abusing the refund policy “.
There are two conditions to met though. First, you need to ask for a refund within 14 days of purchasing any game, and , you also need to have played less than two hours to receive a refund. This refund policy seems identical to Steam, though Epic Games can revoke a gamer’s eligibility for refunds if they are found to be abusing their refund policy.

New trailer released for the Fallout 3 Remake in Fallout 4 Engine, Fallout 4: The Capital Wasteland
https://www.dsogaming.com/videotrailer-news/new-trailer-released-for-the-fallout-3-remake-in-fallout-4-engine-fallout-4-the-capital-wasteland/
Earlier today, we shared a new gameplay trailer for the upcoming Fallout New Vegas Remake in Fallout 4. However, we have another trailer for another Fallout fan remake in the Fallout 4 Engine. This other Fallout remake is Fallout 4: Capital Wasteland.
This latest trailer for Fallout 4: Capital Wasteland showcases the Point Look DLC from Fallout 3. Thus, we can assume that alongside Fallout 3, the team will also remake its DLC.

Bloodstained receives a Castlevania Music Pack Mod, available now for download
https://www.dsogaming.com/videotrailer-news/bloodstained-receives-a-castlevania-music-pack-mod-available-now-for-download/
Ygnaris has released a must-have mod for all Castlevania fans out there. This music pack brings the songs from various Castelvania games to Bloodstained. Thus, this spiritual successor to Castlevania can now feel more authentic now.
Now I’m not sure whether this mod will stay live for a long time. After all, it borrows music tracks from another commercial games. My guess is that Konami will send a C&D letter to NexusMods sooner or later. Thus, we suggest downloading it while you still can.
Going into slightly more details, this music pack features music from dracula X, Symphony Of The Night, Harmony Of Despair and Dawn Of Sorrow. It also has music tracks from Order Of Ecclesia, Aria Of Sorrow and Portrait Of Ruin.
>> If you're interested, you better hurry up and get it now.

Medal of Honor: Airborne Redux Mod released, features FOV options, better leaning, tweaked AI & more
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/medal-of-honor-airborne-redux-mod-released-features-fov-options-better-leaning-tweaked-ai-more/
Medal of Honor: Airborne was one of the best MOH games, at least in my opinion. However, there is a whole generation of gamers that have not experienced it as the original game came out in 2007. Thankfully, though, there is now a gameplay overhaul mod for the PC version that you can download in order to play it.
Medal of Honor: Airborne Redux is an overhaul mod that aims to remaster this flawed, ambitious FPS game up to modern standards. Do note, however, that this is not a graphics overhaul. So yeah, don’t expect high-resolution textures and modern-day effects. Instead, this mod overhauls Airborne’s gameplay, and provides some addition Quality of Life improvements.
>> You can find it at ModDB.

Terraria's mod loader is now on Steam as the devs 'hand the keys over to the fans'
https://www.pcgamer.com/terraria-mod-loader-steam-tmodloader/
Terraria may have gotten its final update, but it still has years of life ahead of it. The Journey's End update, released on Saturday, added a monster list of new items and a super customizable new "Journey mode", propelling the game to an all-time high number of players on Steam. After this update the Terraria developers plan to finally move on to a new project, nine years after its release. But they're setting the game up to continue getting new features by adding the community-made mod loader to Steam.
You can download tModLoader for free on Steam, and Steam Workshop support will be added in the future to bring Terraria mods to Steam for the first time. Previously, mods have only been available from external modding sites, with tModLoader being a universally used tool. "Though fully-integrated official mod support is not something that is feasible within the Terraria codebase, tModLoader has served faithfully as that 'bridge' between the main game and the amazing library of player-created mods that exists for Terraria," the Terraria devs wrote on Steam. "With this launch, modding has never been more visible or accessible for Terrarians."

Rather than canceling the event it appears that Le Mans will follow the likes of NASCAR by going virtual this year. At least in part, the in-person race will still occur in September. However on the originally scheduled date a new event has been announced, a virtual 24 Hours of Le Mans race and this time the pros will be racing in rFactor 2. Interestingly the teams are limited to two professional sim racers and two professional drivers, it should be interesting to see how the pro drivers fare against the sim drivers. Each driver is required to race for a minimum of four hours and a maximum of seven hours. Catch the trailer after the jump.
