All Hail the Game Platform War – Discord to Offer Devs a 90/10 Split
Discord is the latest entry into the game platform war. Previously, we learned that Steam takes a whopping 30% cut for distribution of games.

The blog asks, “Why does it cost 30% to distribute games?” Their answer? It doesn’t.
The SRK Rollback: Best of December 7-13, 2018
Welcome to the Rollback: a frame-by-frame look back at our past week’s most notable news — and our favorite SRK articles — from November 30 to December 6, 2018!
Zavian “mushin_Z” Sildra, Editor-in-Chief:
Frame 1:
Cower in fear of all of The Walking Dead references in Negan’s Tekken 7 reveal trailer
The portion of the Venn diagram where fans of The Walking Dead meet fans of Tekken 7 got a real treat in Negan’s gameplay reveal trailer; if you want to verify you caught all of the little nods to the TV show, have a look at this.
Frame 2:
Here are the finalized brackets for Capcom Cup 2018
The last big hurrah for Street Fighter V in 2018 is kicking off today with its Last Chance Qualifier. Here are the starting points for the best of the best in SFV this year for the final showdown.
Frame 3:
Wizzrobe shows how to wavedash perfectly in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
The new Smash is now out in the wild — and the classic mechanic has returned, after a fashion.
I literally think this is the worst design decision Capcom has implemented in SFV. When the only good thing about a game function is that you can turn it off, that should be the first clue it’s a terrible idea…
Frame 5:
2B from NieR: Automata cuts her way into SoulCalibur VI on December 18
… On the other side, instead of adding hideous ads to their game, Bandai Namco are bringing us bad-ass sword-swinging androids. You know, content that actually improves the game?
Crow_Spaceboy, Assistant Editor:
Frame 1:
Namco reveals SoulCalibur VI version 1.10 patch notes for December 17th
I might have one or two things I disagree with in the proposed changes, but overall this is one of Namco’s most thoughtful balance patches in Calibur history.
Frame 2:
Warner Bros. announces fan art project “MK Kollective” for Mortal Kombat 11
There’s some surprisingly high-profile acts acting as ambassadors on this project. I’m looking forward to it!
Input lag just keeps increasing with new iterations of games, and I wonder what the “breaking point” will be.
Frame 4:
MikeZ demonstrates game-breaking super flash glitch in SNES version of Street Fighter Alpha 2
This is the sort of wild glitch that is only possible thanks to the limitations of the past. I love it.
Frame 5:
Italian GameStop website appears to leak details of Mortal Kombat 11’s Premium Edition
I want to play as Shao Khan right now. All of you, get out of the way.
Catch up on what you may have missed in our prior SRK Rollback compilations.
Life in Legends of Aria – Journal #1
Any bowman worth his salt knows you want light armor, plenty of arrows, a discreet blade, and of course a good solid oak longbow to make a safe and lucrative living. I began my journey in Pyros’ Landing with a paltry supply of arrows, fabric garments, and a sorry excuse for a bow – even by Pryos’ Landing standards. I was no archer, and yet with little direction to guide my adventure, I took to the desert wasteland outside town for a preliminary hunt.
Evo Japan 2019 reveals main stage game lineup, promises more side event details
February 15, 2019. That’s the date for Evo Japan 2019 — and with today’s most-recent announcement from EVOJapanNews, we know that in just two months we’ll get to see high-level play in the following titles:
- Tekken 7
- Blazblue: Cross Tag Battle
- SoulCalibur VI
- Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition
- The King of Fighters XIV
- Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2
There are certainly some surprises for spectators and players alike in this list. There’s obvious omissions of two of the FGC’s biggest games right now: DragonBall FighterZ and new superstar Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. If we turn to Evo Business Director Mark “MarkMan” Julio’s Twitter, we get a sense as to why this happened, and how not all hope is lost for Smashers and Saiyans.
And personally, I think the community working together to run Smash Ultimate and DBFZ is going to be awesome and I can’t wait to show the publisher/owners the strength of the community. Goodnight!
