When Disney Dreamlight Valley first came out in early access last year, I was obsessed for weeks. My interest in the Disney-based life sim-type game has definitely waned a bit since then, but with every update my interest is renewed. Today, the Pride of the Valley update was released, and…

Gameloft and Disney seem to have found a groove: release free-to-play games in paid Early Access. I mean, why not? Disney Dreamlight Valley sold like hotcakes when it was first launched the same way, and months later is still finding new players while in paid Early Access (in part due…

I apologize that this new is a few hours late. In all honesty, getting me to put down my Switch to write this was basically like pulling teeth. That being said, Disney Dreamlight Valley has been my obsession for weeks now. I played for easily six to eight hours a…

Total sales for he quarter hit EUR44.8 million which is an increase of 14 per cent on the same time period last year. Asia-Pacific and Latin America are the biggest revenue earners for the publisher,…
Read MoreGameloft has, with Six Guns, descended into a level of game development depravity so low there should be a circle of hell reserved just for it. The game is so cynical that it’s genuinely insulting to anyone who downloads it. Nominally it’s a free game to download and play, but…
