Looks like The Order 1886 is shaping up to be a pretty short game. How short? Well, that depends entirely on who you ask. YouTuber PlayMeThrough recently got his hands on a pre-release copy of the game, and uploaded an entire play through to his channel. That’s roughly five hours of footage. About half of which is…
iOS apps can now tip the scales at a whopping 4 gigabytes. Apple sent out a message to their development community, saying they have decided to double the maximum size of their binaries.
