Ubisoft Says You Don't Own It - Press F to Sue

In today’s Dead Drop, we dive into Ubisoft’s courtroom confidence over The Crew, Astro Bot cleaning house at the BAFTAs, and why Nintendo still says “nah” to achievements. You’ll hear about ASMR gaming bliss, indie surprises like Blue Prince, and even a comeback attempt from one of the worst games ever made. Yes, really.

Also, STALKER 2 rises against the odds, The Last of Us evolves its infected, and Warhammer 40K quietly conquers Roblox. It’s a weird, wonderful mix — just how we like it.
