Apple says Pokémon Go is the most downloaded app in its first week ever

Apple has told TechCrunch that Pokémon Go has broken an impressive App Store record. While the game was only available in a few countries at the time, the app has attracted more downloads in the App Store during its first week than any other App Store app has in its first week, ever. Pokémon Go initially launched in New Zealand, Australia and the U.S. Apple didn’t provide any hard number, but it’s clear that Pokémon Go became a massive phenomenon and an instant hit.

Pokémon Go is doing a lot of good, here are 3 surprising ways

“What are they doing?” That was the question an older woman, probably around 70 or so, asked me yesterday. She was pointing to a group of 18-ish boys and girls near a YMCA, the biggest (and, so far, only) Pokestop in the city where I live. Without exception, the teens were all staring at their smartphones. “They’re playing Pokémon Go,” I replied. The lady didn’t comment, but her facial expression was a mix of disconcert and skepticism.

Police in New Hampshire’s largest city are using Pokémon Go in an attempt to lure fugitives into their clutches.

Reviewers for 'Shadow of Mordor' Were Paid Off, Says the FTC

Turns out there might not be ethics in gaming journalism, after all. A new order by the Federal Trade Commission might give GamerGate reason to pick up pitchforks again. Warner Bros. has just settled with the FTC over charges that it “deceived consumers” during the marketing campaign for 2014’s Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor. Per the FTC, Warner Bros. failed to disclose it paid online influencers, like YouTube phenom PewDiePie, to positively promote one of its games in content presented as “reviews.” As a result, the FTC has proposed Warner Bros. must be upfront about paid marketing in the future...

Warning: Pokemon GO is a Death Sentence if you are a Black Man.

This week has been a catastrophe for Blackness. Two men, Alton Sterling and Philando Castile, were killed by police officers within 24 hours of each other. Neither had committed a crime that was punishable by death nor did they put any officers lives at risk. It’s inexcusable, unjustifiable, and is perpetuated by a system that disproportionately targets Black Men. Then in the same week, police officers in Dallas were killed during an otherwise peaceful protest about those killings.

StarCraft: Ghost: What went wrong

Robert Huebner was on top of the world. The Tokyo Game Show. 2002. Less than two years prior, Blizzard gave Huebner and his team at Nihilistic Software the green light to start development on a new game. The deal was, in many ways, an experiment. In working with Nihilistic, Blizzard gave a good amount of control over one of its major franchises to an external development studio, a rare move for the company.

A Fashion Designer Hilariously Critiques 5 MMO Outfits

A few years ago, I joined Guild Wars 2, and it rapidly became one of my go-to games. It had action, it had adventure, it had... one serious flaw. When I started up a human female Elementalist, I was given an outfit that I consider inappropriate. That is, I'm a married woman, and I want my armor to say, "Let's run a dungeon," not "Hi, my name is Carol, and these are my breasts." It took several sessions of GW2 with dropped loot and crafting to create something I didn't hate. It took until level 80 to find something I actually liked--something that made me feel powerful, not exposed or even ridiculous. While looking for armor that I wanted...
