After a summer of internet-wide freak-outs over privacy issues, Microsoft has changed their tune. [A camera that could watch everything you do](http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/198119/No%5FKinect%5Fconnection%5Frequired%5FXbox%5FOnes%5Flatest%5Freversal.php?ref=killscreen.com) is no longer mandatory for the Xbox One to operate.

> \[*League of Legends* is\] blocking Satanists’ right to freedom of religion by preventing them from using the name Satan.

—[209 satanists](http://www.polygon.com/2013/8/13/4618774/league-of-legends-player-wants-satan-uncensored?ref=killscreen.com) who are petitioning the game on Change.org

NASCAR driver Brad Keselowski raced through Watkins Glen in video games as a kid—[now, he’s racing on the real thing](http://www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/nascar-champ-credits-video-games-for-his-recent-win/?ref=killscreen.com).

The Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) in Toronto held a [3-day game jam](http://www.theverge.com/2013/8/13/4617646/royal-ontario-museum-game-jam?ref=killscreen.com) to help build more interactive experiences into their exhibits.

Mike Bithell is [working on a stealth heisting game](http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2013/08/13/stealth-tactical-heisting-mike-bithells-volume/?ref=killscreen.com). Sadly, it won’t involve the *Thomas Was Alone* cast reenacting *Ocean’s Eleven*.

[*SkyDIEving* looks to simulate skydives](http://skydieving.com/?ref=killscreen.com) and dreams of free-falling **in virtual reality** on the Oculus Rift. For once I’m thankful there’s no video. This sounds cruel and unusual.
