1047 Games, the studio behind the 'Portal meets Halo' FPS Splitgate, says that it would like to see the game on Nintendo Switch and mobile in the future.

During a developer Q&A streamed on Twitch, the development team was asked whether players could expect to see the game ported across to other platforms in the future.

"We haven't started on it, but it's absolutely part of the vision," 1047 Games CEO Ian Proulx said. "Part of the vision is we want to be available on everything. You know, we want to be available on mobile, Switch… I mean, everything." he said. Splitgate's popular open beta is currently available for Linux and Windows on Steam as well as Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5.

Elsewhere in the Q&A, Proulx spoke further about the future of Splitgate and whether the game would likely be ported to Unreal Engine 5 to take advantage of additional features the new engine offers. "I'm not going to say no, but we haven't looked at it. That's not happening anytime soon realistically." Proulx said.

"We have done a lot with Unreal Engine 4 and we have a game that is extremely well optimized, that works very well. In five years, are we going to port to Unreal 5? I don't know, maybe, or maybe we'll just take pieces of Unreal 5 and plug it in," he continued before finishing and noting that Rocket League, the highly popular vehicular soccer game, currently runs on Unreal Engine 3. Though it would certainly be a sight to see UE5's dynamic lighting playfully bounce around Splitgate's constantly opening and closing portals, it seemingly won't be a reality any time in the next few years.

Whichever engine the game is running on, it seems that the team behind Splitgate is doing plenty right. The free-to-play shooter recently saw such popularity during its open beta that 1047 Games took the decision to delay the title's full release date while it works to increase server capacity. Fans of the title shouldn't worry too much about the delay though, as the full game is now due to release sometime later this month.

If you ever wondered what would happen if fake movies and TV shows like Threat Level Midnight and Sick, Sad World had their own streaming service, I have some good news for you. While you still cannot watch these made-up movies and shows (for the obvious reason of them not really existing), Nestflix helps fill the void slightly by creating a website where you can browse through all the shows, and movies you wish were real.

Created by web designer Lynn Fisher, Nestflix is a parody of Netflix. As Fisher describes it, the site is a "wiki doing some cosplay," but upon entering the website, you would be impressed with how much the website has to offer. It is extremely detailed – even offering a synopsis of the title, stills, and where your chosen fictional content originally appeared.

This website is perfect for shows like Rick and Morty, where episodes such as Interdimensional Cable created fake movies and shows such as How They Do It…, Baby Legs, and The Adventures of Stealy. All of those were throwaway gags created for the show, but now have a home where you can read the descriptions and more. It even houses classics like Angels with Filthy Souls; you know, that one movie that appears in Home Alone that we've all probably quoted at least once in our lives. And yes, the sequel is here, too.

The website launched yesterday and offers more than 400 entries. But that number will surely grow over time as the website offers a submission button where you can contribute to any made-up shows or movies that are missing from Nestflix.

In real Netflix news, it's looking like the company is moving into the gaming arena, and could have a partnership with PlayStation in the works.

Twitch has responded to the #TwitchDoBetter social media campaign, which is being used to ask the streaming service to better protect its marginalized streamers from "hate-raiding" and other examples of hate speech being made against them on the platform.

Twitch recently acknowledged the issues surrounding harassment targeted toward its marginalized creators during their streams on the platform in a thread of tweets. The company said, "We’ve seen a lot of conversation about botting, hate raids, and other forms of harassment targeting marginalized creators. You’re asking us to do better, and we know we need to do more to address these issues. That includes an open and ongoing dialogue about creator safety."

The company then went on to detail what actions it would be taking in light of the hateful abuse received by its creators on the platform. The Amazon-owned streaming service explained that it has been able to "identify a vulnerability in [its] proactive filters" and that it has "rolled out an update to close this gap and better detect hate speech in chat". To supplement this further, Twitch will also be launching "channel-level ban evasion detection and account verification improvements" later this year that it hopes will go will have a big impact on the issues in the future.

Twitch ended its thread by saying, "Our work is never done, and your input is essential as we try to build a safer Twitch. We’ll be reaching out to community members to learn more about their experiences," before encouraging users to share their own feedback via UserVoice.

We're launching channel-level ban evasion detection and account verification improvements later this year. We’re working hard to launch these tools as soon as possible, and we hope they will have a big impact. Check out more on our existing tools here: https://t.co/Dku6eBhY72

"Hate-raiding", for those who haven't come across the term, is the name given when a streamer's chat is inundated by a number of users who all spam the same hateful messages towards them. The hashtag #TwitchDoBetter was set up by a streamer called Rek It Raven after they were reportedly hate-raided twice in just a week. Since then, a number of other streamers have got behind the hashtag in support of the campaign, and the term began trending on Twitter.

Raven spoke to PC Gamer, about their thoughts on Twitch's response to the ongoing issue. They said, "I am happy that they finally responded so we know that they're actually seeing what's going on […] But we've been here before, right? And not much has changed." At the beginning of the year, Twitch made the announcement that it would be updating its harassment policy in an attempt to mitigate hate speech on its platform. The company then further announced an updated set of guidelines in April.

Raven continued, "I mean, they came out with a new, clearer-defined TOS at the beginning of the year, and people are still not being held to that standard. So I am optimistic that they responded and that they are hearing everyone who is crying out like, 'Hey, we're literally being abused on your platform.' I don't know what's going to come of it. I really hope that they reach out to me and a couple of other marginalized creators, but I don't know if that's gonna happen."

Twitch has not confirmed a specific date for the release of its latest set of improvements that it hopes will help to curb harassment on its platform, but I think we can all agree that it's a matter of the sooner the better for everyone involved.

Daniel Klein, lead game developer on Apex Legends, has parted ways with Respawn Entertainment following the emergence of offensive DeviantArt blog posts he published in 2007.

Per PC Gamer, it was revealed that images of the blog had recently started circulating online, including derogatory and abusive content aimed at women and African people. The backlash from the blog being discovered, and his subsequent departure from Respawn Entertainment has forced Klein to make a public statement regarding the situation.

On July 27, Klein addressed the issue on Twitter in a series of tweets, stating that he “take(s) full ownership for the things I said, and I'm embarrassed, sad, and angry at my younger self for saying this stuff. I hope it is obvious that I don't believe these things anymore."

I was recently confronted with some awful statements I made on a blog I wrote back in 2007. I take full ownership for the things I said, and I'm embarrassed, sad, and angry at my younger self for saying this stuff. I hope it is obvious that I don't believe these things anymore.

— Daniel Zenon Klein (@danielzklein) July 27, 2021

Two weeks later, on August 10, Klein announced his departure from Respawn Entertainment through a series of further tweets. In these tweets, Klein delves into his behaviour, stating that: “I said racist and sexist things, not because I deeply believed any of them, but because I knew I could get a reaction out of people. That does not excuse anything I said; the impact of my words was the same regardless of what I believed.”

Following his departure, Klein provided the following statement to Kotaku: "I fully own the awful, bigoted statements I made in 2007 and am disgusted with my younger self for making them. But there's also no doubt in my mind that they came to light because someone went looking for things to hurt me with. EA was aware of this allegation, and I specifically asked them to be on the lookout for these strategies being used against other employees in the future."

EA has made no further statements to the press regarding Klein's behaviour, beyond the initial statement it provided to Fanbyte when the blog posts emerged: "The comments are disturbing, and we certainly don’t condone the point of view expressed. Our [human resources department] is aware and investigating.”

Klein's departure comes alongside news that three senior developers at Blizzard have left the company, some of whom had been connected to events mentioned in the recent Activision Blizzard lawsuit.
