Celebrate the release of the Mask of the Rose demo with a chance to win $100 in Steam credit
https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/celebrate-the-release-of-the-mask-of-the-rose-demo-with-a-chance-to-win-dollar100-in-steam-credit/
Mask of the Rose is set during around the events of Failbetter's Fallen London, where the city has been stolen by bats. The visual novel is a dating sim with a twist—you don't actually have to date anyone. Instead, this is a game all about relationships as a whole, both platonic and romantic, friendly and unfriendly, and more.
From today you can download and play Mask of the Rose's demo, and to accompany that we're hosting giveaways and and a PC Gamer forum takeover with Failbetter that's happening right this second.
(...)
To celebrate the demo becoming available, we're also going to be giving a $100 voucher to one lucky winner to spend on either Steam or GOG. If you want to be in with a chance to win the $100, you can head to this forum thread and follow the instructions on this competitions page. Not only that, but you can win some deluxe playing cards too. Good luck!

Half-Life Decay: Solo Mission restores the series' forgotten campaign, with a twist
https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/half-life-decay-solo-mission-restores-the-series-forgotten-campaign-with-a-twist/
Half-Life Decay: Solo Mission is a mod project endeavoring to make one of Half-Life's least accessible campaigns more easily playable. No, not Half-Life Alyx. The other least accessible Half-Life campaign.
Half-Life Decay was a co-op campaign developed by Gearbox and included with the Playstation 2 port of the original Half-Life. In Decay, players take control of Black Mesa scientists Gina Cross and Collette Green, and experience another perspective of the Black Mesa incident in parallel to the stories of Gordon, Adrian, and Barney.

Total War: Rise of Mordor mod removed after copyright strike
https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/total-war-rise-of-mordor-mod-removed-after-copyright-strike/
Following the news this week on the lawsuit over what looked like pretty clear plagiarism on Capcom's part, it's back to business as usual in video game copyright land. Following a DMCA takedown request from Warner Bros lawyers, Mod DB has removed the Total War: Attila total conversion mod, Total War: Rise of Mordor from their site (thanks, Game Watcher).
It's not all bad news, however, as Warner Bros took issue with the name rather than mod content itself, so it's just a case of renaming the mod to something less copyright-strike-triggering then posting it back online.
