Dtoid/GameFan digital magazine is now free for everybody!

Tell your friends! Full disclosure: I was initially against the idea of allowing people to download thedebut issue of Destructoid/GameFan magazine for free. That’s not because I want money. My paycheck won’t change regardless of how many issues of this thing are sold or downloaded.

Fans are uncomfortable about Anbernic adding modern PC titles to its handhelds via a new software update

Anbernic, a Chinese company well known for building some of the best retro handhelds available, has released a firmware for its RG35XXH console that includes APKs for modern games that are still widely available on Steam free of charge for all users. Needless to say, fans aren’t happy about what this likely means. The firmware update includes games likeStardew Valley,Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge,Celeste, andGrand Theft Auto 3.
