Epic Games has been giving away free games every week for years now, which has apparently been going well – but the store’s exclusives haven’t done so well.Valve doesn’t exactly run a monopoly when it comes to buying digital games, but for the most part everyone knows that Steam is the defacto place to buy your PC games. Storefronts like GOG and Itch.io have their own niches, but Steam is still the place to be for most PC games, even if it is quite flawed. Then, in 2018, Epic Games decided it wanted a piece of the pie and opened up its own store, and it didn’t do so without controversy, as many PC gamers were not a fan of it right off the bat. Six years on, the store is still around, but even still many don’t like it.To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie setting…

They did note that some day people will hear about it and “it’s gonna break hearts,” and that certainly feels accurate, as in a new video from Liam Robertson at Did You Know Gaming, some details have been shared about the cancelled Crash 5 – the most notable aspect of the game being that it would have been a crossover with none other than the bandicoot’s PS1 co-star Spyro the Dragon.To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settings Yeah, right off …

That selection of new cast is taking over the roles of beloved characters like Aang, Katara, Sokka, and Toph, and in a recent interview with Collider, Jessica Matten, the new voice behind Katara, spoke of what it’s been like taking over the role, getting to know the rest of the cast, and the weight she feels over joining such a beloved series.To see this content…
