Another week has passed full of ups and downs and all sorts of shenanigans in the local gaming and esports scene. Before we jump into everything else, we urge you to go and support the Kickstarter for locally developed title Beautiful Desolation. It’s around R20,000 short of its target at the time of writing.

Some local interest articles you…
