In the past, IWO (Intel World Open) tried a similar esports event format with Psyonix’s title in 2019. The event clashed several countries against each other in the tournament and even got the finale planned in a LAN at the 2020 Summer Olympics. However, due to the pandemic in 2020, the event couldn’t mortalize itself in the esports industry.

Details On Rocket League World Cup

Although this event is a first of it’s kind, there has been much information revealed regarding the championship. From what we can tell, this is going to be a whole new experience for the players and fans alike. There is going to be a new format, new teams, and more events like this coming later this year.

A 30-second video was posted on X, Confirming that a total of 16 different countries will be participating in this event. All 16 countries will be selected based on the representatives they send, which will be done in a previous RLCS event. Taking a wild guess, the countries that could make it to the event’s rosters at the moment’s notice are the USA, Canada, France, Australia, Brazil, and the UK.

Although only 12 countries participated in the RLCS event, and only 7 of those countries sent 3 more players, there is still much opportunity for players from other countries.

FIFAE X The Rocket League

FIFAe has been organizing tournaments for FIFA for a long time, and adding Rocket League to the list seems only a natural step. A statement from Cristian Volk, Director of eFootball and gaming at FIFA, says that this World Cup featuring Rocket League marks a new era for FIFAe. Volk also mentioned that this event is going to provide a groundbreaking platform for FIFA’s member association to compete in the most relevant esports titles.

Interestingly enough, the statements on FIFA’s official website seem to clear the fact that they are also giving chances to players who aren’t affiliated with pro organizations. Not only that, FIFA is encouraging players to sign up on FIFA.gg to get details on participating from different countries.

He stated that Amit Shah, Nirmala Sitharaman, and Ashwini Vaishnaw will be the key ministers for real-money gaming, as well as for home, finance, information, and technology. It states that intense policy-framing activity will continue under the leadership of Ashwinin Vaishnavi, albeit in the absence of Rajeev Chandrashekhar, who was earlier deputy minister in the Modi 2.0 cabinet.

As a result, Rajeev Chandrashekar lost to Congress Shashi Tharoor from Thiruvantampuram. Modi also announced that Jitin Prasada would be Ashwini Vaishnaw’s deputy. However, many expected that NDA constituent parties would take hold of the constituent party, but they failed.

How Will The Upcoming Modi 3.0 Continue The Excitement In The RMG Sector?

In India, the IT industry implemented online gaming regulations in 2023. The sector is also anticipating the impact of the Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023, which was approved by the Parliament last year. This act is expected to significantly influence the operations and data-handling practices of the RMG sector.

He said that Nirmala Sitaraman will head the GST council and look forward to the Viksit Bharat. He announced the tax rate for wagers was revised to 28% in October 2023. In addition, the council may review the status of the new tax regime and the controversy around retrospective tax dues in the next meeting. 

According to previous data, the retrospective tax regime issue was pending with the apex court, and the final hearing was held in July 2024. Nirmala Sitaraman Ashwini Vaishnaw, Amit Shah, and Anurag Thakur were members of a group of ministers formed to deliberate issues on regulating online gaming. 

The GOM would be expected to continue the work, and with the exception of Anurag Thakur, all three ministers hold the same position. There was a discussion of money laundering in certain gaming companies that have had a negative impact on the gaming world. 

With this announcement, the overall allocation has changed slightly with the portfolio of Narendra Modi 2.0 Ministry, and we hope to continue with the same excitement. It also defines that policy continuity will be the order of the day in the Modi 3.0 dispensation.

The game is developed by Billy Basso under his Shared Memory company. It’s a multi-layered puzzle horror game, where you play as a nondescript blog who can move and jump around anywhere. As you move forward, you discover new animals, who might hunt you, so be careful against them. The game is published by the popular gamer VideogameDunkey Under his Bigmode Company.

As per his recent video, Basso and Bigmode have been working on the game for several years. Basso thought of adding dialogues when making the game, but he remembered that animals don’t talk, so he added different kinds of sound effects music, enhancing the gaming experience.

Why Is Animal Well Getting Positive Reviews?

It’s a unique game. When you hear the genre Metroidvania, you always think of guns and weapons, and especially in today’s time, it is very hard to think of a game without weapons. Animal Well is an upgrade and fresh air in the Metroidvania genre. The game has no weapons, and you get some utility to help yourself during difficult situations. 

No Spoon feeding. One thing everyone loves about the game is that it doesn’t spoon-feed you on how to play it. You learn it yourself. No tutorial, no guide, just playing and enjoying. 

The dark theme graphics also enhance the experience. This makes the game soothing and relaxing. As VideogameDunkey said, you can play this game at any time, in the day for brainstorming puzzles or in the night for its calming dark theme graphics. 

The way Basso uses neon colors is incredible. The color gives a calming tone to the game, which is ironic as you are in a dangerous place, saving yourself from dangerous animals. 

Should I Buy Animal Well?

Animal Well is a must-play game for its dark theme world, multi-layered puzzle, and no-nonsense gameplay. Try checking the game, it’s currently available for PlayStation 5, Microsoft Windows, and Nintendo Switch.

The market size of India’s gaming industry is around USD 3.98 billion, which has shown a rapid expansion in the last few decades. The industry includes over 900 micro, small, and medium enterprises and startups, and it has become a necessity to safeguard their IP. India is one such country that has no strong laws to protect IP, which makes it lag behind countries like the USA, China, and France.

According to “The Print,” India has shown deep concern about the IP laws for the gaming industry and addressed various challenges. The main highlight of the discussion is the misunderstanding around skill-based electronic games. There is confusion between online gambling and betting games, which creates obstacles to safeguarding the innovative aspects of electronic games.

The Opinions Regarding Intellectual Property Law.

The meeting involves Gust Justice Pratibha M. Singh, Delhi High Court Judge, along with legal luminaries like Senior Advocate Amit Sibal and Partner and National Practice Head-IPR Shardul Amarchand Mangaldas and Co., Dev Robinson. Along with these personalities, Saikrishna Rajagopal, the Managing Partner or Saikrishna & Associate, was also present at the event. All have kept their different opinion on IP law in India’s gaming industry and agreed on the urgent need to protect the unique element and expression of interactive games.

Some suggest categorising such interactive games as “computer programs” under the Copyright Act of 1957 and imposing the Patent Act of 1970 to protect innovative game elements. Some suggested international practices like US copyright law to protect audio and visual content. Everyone agreed to the recently released online gaming rules by the Ministry of Information Technology under which skill-based are permissible.

Online gambling and casinos are the fastest-growing betting platforms, and millions worldwide use them to explore thrilling actions and profitable outcomes. The latest data reveals that online gaming and casino retrospective GST cases listed in SC today involve payments of thousands of crores calculated at 28 percent of the bet’s face value.
This official notification was taken to the Supreme Court, which listed GamesKraft and a batch of matters today before the 3 judges’ bench headed by DY Chandrachud, judge of the Chief Justice of India. Here, the hearing on Friday finalises that the batch of cases will be listed after the summer vacation in July 2024, when the court opens. 
Further, tomorrow’s listing is to take directions from the bench on the procedural aspects, where matters may be heard for a few minutes. The Supreme Court currently holds a cluster of 30 petitions from online real-money gaming firms. 
In April, it transferred to itself 27 writ petitions where the decision is pending across 9 different state high courts. Also, they are challenging the levy of 28% GST on all forms of online real-money gaming with a retrospective effect.

What Decisions Were Made By The Supreme Court Of India? 

The same announcement was made in December 2023, when the apex court declined to halt these notices but agreed to hear the plea. These gaming firms face 71 show-cause notices for GST evasion of Rs 1.12 lakh crore in 2022-23, excluding interest and penalties.  

Here, the penalty of 100% of tax demand, which could surpass 2.4 crore, including interest, would be charged under Section 74. Moreover, earlier data reveals that on October 1, 2023, a 28 percent GST was levied on the full face value of online gaming bets by the GST Council, where review was taken after 6 months.  

The Supreme Court also sought a response from the Director General of goods and services tax, where petitioners were Dream 11, Games 24/7, and Head Digital Work. It is said that in September last year, a supreme court imposed a stay of operations of Karnataka high court order where GST filed officers notices Rs. 1.12 lakh crore to online gaming companies for alleged tax evasions and facing legal challenges.

Earlier, the Karnataka high court squashed a GST notification of Rs 21,000 crore on hold due to online, electronic, or digital rummy played on Gameskraft not being taxable as a betting or gambling industry. 

After meeting in July and August 2023, it was recommended that online gambling and casinos, along with horse racing, be charged 28% on full face value without differentiating games of skills from games of chance. This became effective in October 2023, and currently, the prospective application is not being challenged.
