Warhammer 40k: Eternal Crusade Is Now On Steam Early Access

[Update]: Warhammer 40k: Eternal Crusade will be closing down its doors in September 2021.
Back when Eternal Crusade was first being announced it was labeled as a massively multiplayer third person shooter where four factions (Space Marines, Chaos, Eldar and Orcs) would vie for supremacy on a massive map with Tyranid attacks occurring every now and then to even out the odds.
The Eternal Crusade entering Steam Early Access today is a much different beast entirely, choosing to focus on smaller scale battles between Space Marines and Chaos as the developers work out the kinks in the gameplay. All of the things mentioned above are still planned for release though it might be a while before they arrive.

If there ever was a competition for the most mismanaged gaming project Firefall would easily be one of the top contenders. During its development it was scrapped and rebuilt multiple times with each iteration being focusing on a completely different spectrum on gameplay while its marketing campaign spent millions of dollars on absolutely insane stunts such as the infamous Firefall Bus which couldn't even drive.
Thankfully the current team behind Firefall seems a lot more sane and willing to make the game work, as you can see in the recently released Razor's Edge update (1.6) which brought with it a reworked story campaign, new equipment system, plenty of new missions and raids, an arena pvp mode and many more changes. Here's a quick overview:

I'm not exactly sure what started this trend of taking old school RTS classics and improving upon them with modern expansions but its one that I can definitely get behind.
After working on two modern Age of Empires expansions the aptly named Forgotten Empires studio will be releasing a brand new expansion for Age of Mythology titled Tale of the Dragon this January 28th. Here's a short overview of what you can expect to see:

The previous Warcraft movie trailer released back in December during Blizzcon and while it got me quite excited the CGI looked a bit... off to say it politely.
Thankfully the recently released TV trailer (embedded below) seems to have corrected many of the CGI issues our green brown friends had, especially when standing next to humans. Here's the video:

And Scott, being the stand up guy that he is, simply couldn't continue selling FNaF World amidst so many complaints so he has pulled the game from Steam and offered full refunds to everyone, regardless of time played. Here's the announcement message:
