Corporate moment in the amazing Weird article where a group of kids saved their favorite game and ages later it's still keeping over 10K DAU.
Sounds like they treat the game and their community better than Roblox or other big games for kids.

The Toontown Rewritten team knows they operate in murky waters. Without a licensing agreement from Disney, 11 years of hard work could be shut down at any minute by a Disney lawyer. That’s why they’ve taken extensive steps to try to circumvent any concerns the Mouse House would have, including founding a nonprofit organization to oversee the game; making the game free to play; forgoing advertising revenue; removing NPCs of Disney characters like Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, and Donald Duck; and implementing a robust content moderation system to protect young players.

A nice overview of all tech that died this year (usually for good). In some cases it's ridiculously sad, like kids having to say goodbye to their robots, since their cloud servers will be shut down in a few months.

Riot Games' co-founder responds to analysts calling Arcane a financial failure: "These people think we make things like Arcane to sell skins, when in reality we sell skins to make things like Arcane."

Here's how it feels if you want to play Ubisoft games during holiday season (when their servers are struggling to keep up).

Fun fact: CPU can't be bigger than a certain size due to physical limitations (of how far the signal can go safely).
But the GPU is very fragmented and parallel (up to tens of thousands of cores per die), so it can be enormous.
This is a 5090 PCB, that suggests that the chip itself will be humongous. It's bigger than the previous king of consumer GPUs (which was 2080 Ti).
And we can clearly see 16 spots for memory (16 x 2GB).

Steam published its Top Sellers list. There are tons of F2P games and the majority of projects that are selling well aren't from 2024.
It gives me both good and bad expectations: examples like Cyberpunk 2077 and No Man's Sky suggest that proper support can make exceptionally long sales even despite rough release. But without the initial spark it may become harder and harder to release any new games and compete with long-lasting projects.
