There is news about Rockstar. No, not that GTA VI has been announced or leaked, but that they made a purchase. You could say a ‘Microsoft’. Rockstar has taken over the studio Ruffian Games. And those are not total strangers. There are many ex-Rockstar employees. JJ tells you in this edition of the GK Journaal why Rockstar made the purchase and what the intention (possibly) will be. Possibly, because you know Rockstar. They never say so much… Fortunately, the GK Journaal provides some explanation.
What will Rockstar do with the new studio?
There is also news about the process between Epic and Apple. Epic wants their games on devices with IOS to be available for purchase through the Epic Store and that Apple does not demand 30% of the revenue. The court has now made some statements after seeing the forms of both parties, and those statements could have quite significant consequences for Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft. How that works exactly, JJ explains in this video. He also discusses a cryptic tweet from Remedy. What are they teasing there now? Would it be true.
Nintendo is not naked
This time there is also room for some funny news. That is allowed in these sometimes depressing times. For example, Nintendo has the TikTok influencer Pokeprincxxs sued her string because she made videos with Pokemon material in it. Now you are going to say ‘there are more people doing that’, and that is correct. But she also did it on another platform and that was the proverbial straw that broke the bucket for Nintendo. In addition, the makers of Fall Guys also turned out very funny. You can watch and listen to all this and some other small news in the GK Journaal on Tuesday 13 October.
