The games industry may sometimes seem like it exists in its own little world, but it's worth remembering sometimes that real-world events can have a major impact on our own ecosystem.
Take China for example, which is now blocking all new games developed in South Korea from being released in the country following a missile system deployment, a story that topped our Hot Five list last week by a large margin.
Second up is the planned boycott of Marvel: Contest of Champions by its top 1,000 alliances. It's been claimed that if they aren't satisfied with Kabam and Netmarble's intentions for the game's future following a controversial recent update, many could simply walk away from the __game for good.
Sales, Shadowgun and soft launch
Third on the list is the news that Jinke, the Chinese chemical firm that was eyeing up Talking Tom developer Outfit7 in January 2017, is coming back for another shot at acquiring the studio.
And finally, Madfinger Games discusses the ways its rethinking monetisation for its upcoming shooter Shadowgun Legends and Space Ape Games soft-launches two games that are very different from the rest of its portfolio.
