Description: "Accursed Farms" is video game critic and performer Ross Scott's website. The site includes forums, news, and his own content: videos of reviews, critiques, commentaries, and original works based on video games. The video featured on this page is "Ross's Game Dungeon: Battleforge," where Scott offers some commentary and play-through of the online game Battleforge and a few other games. He also comments on the video game industry and the lack of preservation planning and accountability shown by publishers of these games. Battleforge is a "dead" game, one whose servers have been taken offline and that can no longer be played by gamers, even by those willing to shoulder the burden of hosting a server themselves, due to DMCA regulations and industry practices regarding online games.
