Join the Bonus Accessory crew every Friday as they dive head first into all things Xbox, Xbox Game Pass, & PC gaming. For months now, we’ve been hearing about a mysterious remaster collection that includes Grand Theft Auto 3, Vice City and San Andres in what seems to be a palette cleansing move to tide us over until the inevitable GTA 6. But a recent fan-made remake of the former two has popped up only to be met by legal action by Rockstar’s parent company, Take Two. But do they have the legal ground to actually stand on? This week, we examine the current legal dispute between a set of programmers and Take Two over a fully remade version of the two beloved open world classics. If a fan-made remake is made with no reused assets, and requires you to already own the game,is there a gray area for both parties to thrive? We try our best to put our legal caps on and dig into the subject.

With each week that passes, we grow closer and closer to the launch of the newest entry in Microsoft’s flagship franchise, Halo Infinite, and while a lot of excitement is building around its gameplay, more questions seem to be arising in other regards, such as player progression. This week, we examine the controversy surrounding 343’s decision to tie player progression solely to challenges within the battle pass in Halo Infinite. With Halo taking its first true steps into the world of live service games, does this seem like a step backwards?

It’s official: Halo Infinite finally has a release date and it's coming later this year on December 8th. While the excitement is starting to build around the return of Master Chief, some major features will not be available at its launch, including campaign co-op and Forge. Now the question remains: DOES Halo Infinite need to launch this year? This week, we discuss the landscape of 343 Industries’s next adventure with Xbox’s poster-child and what the delay of these features means to the game’s state at launch. Will multiplayer still have the ability to completely blossom at launch, especially with the current content creation landscape? Will a Halo campaign feel incomplete without the genre defining co-op experience? We delve deep on Microsoft’s next tentpole title.

Blizzard Entertainment has long been home to some of gaming’s biggest franchises including Warcraft, Diablo, and Overwatch just to name a few; yet it seems like it’s become home to something far more sinister since its Activision acquisition: a culture which reinforces misogyny and disgusting behavior. This week, we breakdown the details stemming from the two year investigation into Activision Blizzard’s “frat boy” culture, and why this behavior has become so common within the gaming space that has more recently been known for its acceptance and forward thinking. Why would anyone find this acceptable? What will it take to finally make us as a people understand that we NEED to be better?
