Frank Olivera used to be the VP of corporate communications and public affairs for Gamestop, but recently it was found that he had been stealing money from the company and transferring it to a fake company he had created (“Cloud Communications LLC”) before transferring it to his personal bank account. The total amount stolen added up to over $1.7 million dollars, which is, according to the courts, enough for him to be sentenced to 51 months (just over four years) in prison.

On top of that, he must return the stolen funds and an extra $134,651 in additional costs.

– Publishers and developers can now create “General Audience” trailers for M-rated games that won’t require an age gate to watch
– If one of these is made, it must begin with a four-second statement reading “The content of this trailer has been approved for a general audience.” with a green background, similar to what you see in a movie theatre before previews
– M-rated games can now be marketed alongside lower-rated games, if the two games appeal to the same audience (ie. you can put a God of War pamphlet inside of the Uncharted game box)

So when will we finally hear something about the new game? Straight Right CEO Tom Crago said in a recent interview that it will have something to talk about “very soon”, adding: “I don’t think it will disappoint.”

“We can’t talk about what we’re working on right now, but should be in a position to do so very soon. I don’t think it will disappoint.”

A World of Keflings originally launched on Xbox Live Arcade and just came out for Windows 8 today. Later this year, the game will also be released on Wii U.

NinjaBee plans to upgrade Kefling’s visuals on Wii U. The GamePad will also provide “new ways to interact with the game and its characters.”

According to art director AccoridBrent Fox:

“With the current generation of consoles coming to an end, we saw opportunities to bring what is perhaps our studio’s most well-loved game to many, many more players. With that said, we’re proud to announce that in addition to today’s release on Windows 8, A World of Keflings will be coming to the Wii U later this year.”

“Both of these new platforms offered us huge advantages and were ideal marketplaces for a light-hearted city-builder. Windows 8 gave us the chance to make the game mobile and add in very smooth, natural touch controls. The Wii U has allowed us to significantly enhance the game’s visuals and, with the Wii U GamePad, explore new ways to interact with the game and its characters.”
