News - Most Indie Game Publishers Are "Predatory And Opportunistic," Says Manor Lord

Tim Bender made his name in the video game industry by founding the indie publisher Hooded Horse and has enjoyed a run of hit games--including last year's sleeper Manor Lords--since 2019. Regardless of his own success, Bender recently suggested that indie developers are better off publishing their own games and suggested that some of his rivals are "predatory and opportunistic."

"People can hate me for this if they want," Bender told PC Gamer. "But most indie publishers are not people indie developers should work with. The vast majority of indie publishers, in their whole structure, are predatory and opportunistic."

Bender's argument is that most of the indie developers "don't add a lot" to the success of a game. He went on to elaborate that other publishers are more interested in lining up a large number of games in the hope of investing in popular titles and abandoning the rest.

News - Arc Raiders On Deaf Ears Quest Guide

Quests on Stella Montis are always one of Arc Raiders' most thrilling, as this maze-like map is filled with great loot and plenty of challenging ARC to take on. Lance sends you to Stella Montis in the On Deaf Ears quest with the intentions of having you find some information for him. In this guide, we'll break down all the spots you'll need to visit to complete the quest.

Each step of this quest requires you to navigate to a new area of Stella Montis. Given that this is one of the most dangerous maps in the game--both in terms of ARC and raiders--we'd recommend you do this quest with a free kit to avoid losing any of your good gear if things go bad. But it's your call, of course.

When you're ready to see On Deaf Ears to its conclusion, follow the steps below.

News - How To Start New Game Plus In Code Vein 2

Code Vein 2 is a challenging Soulslike with tense and aggressive combat, as well as plenty of anime drama and compelling characters that should keep you invested throughout its fairly lengthy campaign. It's a lot to take on, even for genre veterans--especially if you're looking to tackle all three of its endings. However, you won't necessarily need to see them all through to access a second playthrough of the game. If you're really eager to see things through a second time, you can start NG+ in Code Vein 2 and try it all again.

In Code Vein 2's NG+ mode, you'll start the story from the beginning and lose your map and mission progress. However, you'll take all the levels you've earned and items you've acquired into this fresh run of the campaign, giving you a bit of an edge in combat and beyond--especially during the first few hours. But NG+ also beefs up the enemies and bosses you'll encounter, too, granting them harder-hitting attacks and more health. So, you shouldn't expect to breeze your way through the whole thing.

Code Vein 2 doesn't exactly point you toward NG+ after beating the story, though, leaving this feature for you to discover on your own. Luckily, you won't have to stray too far to get started, if that's your goal. Here's how to start NG+ in Code Vein 2.
