Mötley Crüe Loses Battle in Ongoing War With Mick Mars

Mick Mars scored a victory in his ongoing legal battle with Mötley Crüe Tuesday when a Los Angeles judge agreed that the rock veterans had unjustly “refused” to cough up the dirt on its wide-ranging business dealings as it simultaneously sought to oust its founding guitarist early last year. In a new court ruling obtained by Rolling Stone, the judge said the band’s stonewalling left Mars with no choice but to sue for the corporate documents last April. The Los Angeles judge noted that after the filing, the band…

Destructoid’s award for Best Ongoing Game of 2023 goes to…

Final Fantasy XIV. I’m not going to even try to build suspense for our Best Ongoing Game winner. Destructoid has too many FFXIV sickos for anything else to take the crown, which is fitting given that our own Chris “Eorzea’s Finest” Carter was an early adopter of the now-legendary MMORPG. This, inadvertently, presents a bit of a conundrum in terms of selecting the “Best Ongoing Game” of any year. Live service games typically demand a lot of time. So it’s difficult – if not impossible – to find anyone who has played…

Nominees for Destructoid’s Best Ongoing Game of 2023

There’s a certain “ick” that comes with the term “live service game.” It immediately conjures up images of soulless, microtransaction-filled cash grabs that many would rather not remember, let alone honor. Fortunately, the best titles in this field are (usually) exceptions to this norm. When done right, a good live service game is like a second home. Ideally, these games are hubs where you can party up with friends and enjoy new content and features at a steady pace. If the presence of microtransactions and paywalls…

Cyberpunk 2077 winning a “Best Ongoing Game” award feels incredibly off – Destructoid

Readers may know me as one of Destructoid’s local Destiny heads, but right now, we need to talk about the Video Game Awards (VGA). Namely, how Cyberpunk 2077 stole a 2023 award from another game and studio. On December 7, the VGA named Cyberpunk 2077 the winner of the ceremony’s Best Ongoing Game award. This was in spite of the fact that Cyberpunk went up against actual live service titles like Apex Legends, Fortnite, Genshin Impact, and Final Fantasy XIV.  As some may remember, Cyberpunk 2077 is not an “ongoing game.”…
