Key Takeaways

PS Plus Games for Aug 2021

The August lineup brings a bundle of excitement with some stellar titles to dive into. First up, immerse yourself in the delightful chaos of Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville, where you defend your town from invading zombies with a variety of charming plants. Then, unleash your inner sports enthusiast with Tennis Tour 2, offering realistic graphics and responsive controls for an immersive tennis experience. PlayStation 5 owners are in for an exclusive treat with Hunter Arena: Legends, a visually stunning adventure where you battle fierce creatures and rival hunters. To enjoy these games, all you need is an active PlayStation Plus subscription, granting access to your library for as long as your subscription lasts.

Epic Games Store Free Games

The Epic Games Store is offering two free games from July 29th to August 5th.

So, don't miss out on these fantastic titles!

Blizzard Ex-CEO Responds

Blizzard Entertainment is under fire following serious allegations of abuse and discrimination, prompting former CEO Mike Morhaime to speak out. In a heartfelt statement, Morhaime expressed disappointment and shame over the company's current state, acknowledging the impact on employees and culture. While his response was empathetic, other Blizzard executives have shown mixed reactions, with some expressing remorse while others take a defensive stance. The lawsuit's legitimacy, initiated by the State of California, suggests the allegations carry weight. Discussions on working conditions and accountability within the gaming industry have intensified, awaiting Blizzard's response and actions to rebuild trust. Meanwhile, PlayStation Plus offers "Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville," "Tennis Tour 2," and the exclusive "Hunter Arena: Legends," while the Epic Games Store provides "Mothergunship" and "Train SIM World 2" for free. As the gaming landscape evolves, the situation at Blizzard reflects a broader need for reflection and change regarding employee welfare and fair treatment.
