This could be a game changer for the MMO genre. Guild Wars 2, one of the top, just became completely free, for the most part.

Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns will release on October 23.

Anyway, we’ll see now that the game is free, more Mac gamers will try it and report if it’s better, worse or the same. Regarding the future of cider, only time will tell. Hope that Nvidia will see an interest there and at least keep it alive (ports aren’t the best, but I prefer a decent Read more ».
