The new rules were expected to go into place in September, but an Apple representative now tells The Washington Post that Apple is holding off on the changes for now to help developers understand and be compliant with the changes.

- Valve's DJ Powers discusses differences between Steam China and existing versions of Steam.

The version of Steam that launches in China will take a more curated approach to its game library, a departure from the existing platform made necessary by China’s strict regulations on video games.

Valve’s DJ Powers offered more details on the recent announcement in an interview with Eurogamer, touching on everything from features it hopes to add to how the official launch will impact the version of Steam already unofficially available to Chinese players.

On the topic of curation, Powers tells Eurogamer that a more hands-on approach is necessary for the platform to exist alongside China’s infamously strict rules about game content. Valve spins this as a plus in the interview, saying that the process means Steam China users can download games from local servers and have a "high-quality experience" all around.

DICE has scrapped plans to bring a competitive 5v5 multiplayer mode to Battlefield V so its dev team can focus on tackling bugs and adding other content.

Starting in September, the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS versions of the Nintendo eShop will no longer allow customers in the EU and UK to use credit cards for purchases directly through their devices. The change only affects the company’s two older systems and not the Nintendo Switch’s game store.

Moving forward, adding eShop funds in the EU and UK with a credit card will need to be done from a computer via a Nintendo Account, rather than the previous option of using a credit card directly through the eShop application installed on each system.

Australian police have arrested six men as part of an ongoing investigation into esports match fixing, and warned they plan to take any allegations of criminal activity within the industry very seriously.

The investigation is one of the first of its kind by Victoria police, and began in March 2019 after a betting agency informed the unit about suspicious activity it spotted at a recent Counter-Strike: Global Offensive tournament.

The company told the authorities that players had been arranging to throw matches, before subsequently placing bets on those games. It's currently believed that at least five matches were affected at the tournament, impacting over 20 bets.
