  "account": "Wardogs, a military-themed first-person shooter, has become a massive hit on Steam since it went into early access last week. The game has sold over 1 million copies at launch and remains high on the concurrent users list. Fans can snag it on sale for $32.79 at Fanatical, a reduction from its regular $39.99 price. This deal is part of Fanatical's September Savers sale, which also features discounts on games such as Pragmata, Resident Evil Requiem, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, and The Blood of Dawnwalker.\n\nIn Wardogs, players are dropped into a 2x2km Control Zone randomly placed on a large map. In this zone, 100 players, divided into three teams, compete to earn points by occupying the control area. The team with the most players inside the Control Zone at the end wins, with each point earned contributing to their total score. The game offers a variety of weapons and military vehicles that players can equip; however, these come at a cost, with each match requiring players to spend their $10,000 budget effectively.\n\nAs each player starts with $10,000, the amount can fluctuate depending on their gameplay. The more teamplay actions, such as reviving squadmates, transporting friends to the zone, or controlling the objective, the more cash players can earn. Players can also construct fortifications to bolster their team's position on the map, but be wary – the enemy can destroy your base if they possess the firepower to do so.\n\nAlthough Wardogs is currently only available on PC, it is still in early access. This means players can anticipate some unfinished elements and changes over time. If this style of online shooter appeals to you, now is an excellent time to give it a try, particularly with the current $32.79 deal available.",
