At the beginning of the month a modder from Finland updated a program that lets players of the 2015 game The Division take jaw-dropping screenshots. On Tuesday of this week, just over a week later, he was informed by the game’s publisher that he’s been banned from the game forever.
Screenshot artist Andy Cull, whose work we featured last month on Kotaku, is part of a group called Infinite Lives.

Jason Laboy was getting ready for his next shot, in the alleyway he had specifically chosen for this occasion.

Grand Theft Auto IV may be almost six years old, but its age doesn't stop folks from doing all sorts of amazing stuff with it. Take, for example, this excellent noire "walkabout series" by gaming's best screenshot artist, Dead End Thrills. The game looks gorgeous like this, no?
Given the planet's lack of actual post-apocalyptic nuclear wastelands, you'd think it would be pretty hard to find places that looked like the setting of a Fallout game. But then, there's always the Mojave desert and Route 66 for that.
