Well, it seems indie games are continuing to take the spotlight. Expedition 33 has seen massive success this past month, while Bungie finds itself in a bit of a sticky situation involving its artwork—or lack thereof.

Expedition 33 sold over one million copies in just its first three days. Nearly a month later, it has almost certainly surpassed that number. The game's developer, Sandfall, also has a movie adaptation in the works—or at least, one has been announced.

On the other hand, Bungie is facing backlash over accusations of art theft. You can read more about that in the link below.

Enjoy your Tuesday, and have a great day. See you next week!
