That Dragon, Cancer has been raising the hackles of some YouTubers, some of whom were being hit with copyright strikes over use of the game’s music in their videos. Ryan Green, That Dragon’s designer, posted a fairly lengthy response to general messages he’s been seeing pop up about copyright claims being raised on Let’s Play...
Payday 2 has a new character to play as, totally free: Jimmy, played by one Sharlto Copley*. It’s all a tie-in with Hardcore Henry, the first-person action film that stars Copley and a bunch of other folks.
