Mass Effect fans are begging Palworld developer Pocketpair to buy the IP from EA and save the franchise. John “Bucky” Buckley, revealed he received “close to 30 DMs/emails from fans about buying Mass Effect in the last day.” He says this happens whenever a major studio closes or a game gets canceled, with fans telling Pocketpair: “You should buy this IP!” Buckley joked that “Jade Empire would make him more keen.”

Anyone hiding malware in Steam games is cooked, Steam and the FBI are warning BlockBlasters players again. BlockBlasters was a Steam game that turned out to contain malware and was used in crypto-draining attacks, including one targeting a terminally ill cancer patient. The FBI says it arrested someone linked to the Steam malware campaign in July and is now asking victims who lost money or had their accounts compromised to fill out a survey for possible restitution. The deadline is 27 October. If someone was hiding malware inside Steam games, things are looking pretty bad right now for you, Gabe is coming.
