Rainbow Six Extraction has you pay a hefty toll if you decide to abandon your teammates in the middle of a match. Leaving your squad will make your operator literally go missing in action (MIA)."In terms of players who choose to abandon a mission/match, you'll be looking at a match forfeit and automatically have that operator be MIA," Rainbow Six Extraction creative director Patrik Méthé told GameSpot. "All match progression will be lost as well. Players can also get temporary matchmaking bans if they frequently abandon matches."In Extraction, any of your operators that go MIA become unplayable. Usually that happens if your operator goes down during a mission, but apparently that also occurs if you willingly leave a match. Regardless of how your operator goes MIA, to get them back, you and your squad need to go and extract them, literally pulling them out of the alien force's clutches.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The organization managed to sell the game on its website for more than $10,000, with the proceeds going toward free job placement and training for underprivileged individuals.E-commerce item processor Alex Juarez explained in a video on GoodwillNCT's YouTube channel (via Kotaku) that he and his father had watched videos on expensive old video games, and he immediately recognized the Atari 2600 game Air Raid when he was going through the inventory.It became the highest-selling single-piece item the organization ever had after it was put online for auction. It ran for a week, and the final price was over $10,500. What's funny is that when Juarez is showing off the box of Atari games he found Air Raid in, you can also see E.T., which was such an infamous failure that Atari ended up burying unsold copies in New Mexico. It would be more than 30 years before those were eventually dug up for the Atari: Game Over documentary.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
