With over 1.3m concurrent players on Steam, Capcom just announced that they sold over 8 million copies of Monster Hunter Wilds in the first weekend 😎

Performance issues? Bugs? Missing features compared to previous series entries? Who the hell cares, when it's fun to play!

To celebrate Flow's victory on the Oscars, Latvia decided to step in, so the protagonist now has his own monument in the centre of Riga.

UPD: It was assembled before the Oscars, but still awesome!

Yeah, mate! 😅

And so are games: something is wrong with the look of the majority of them! When lighting is generic and perfect, it's lifeless, it lacks the artistic intent.

Pushing the Limits of Technology: The Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie Story

AI will steal your jobs, and it will do crap out of it. But fun fact: half of those papers were before AI boom, which means, AI has nothing to do with it, it was just a poor reading skills of some real meaty humans.

Ballistic Moon (the studio behind Until Dawn 2024 remaster) is now an empty shell — everyone was fired, according to Insider Gaming report.

The remaster was criticized for its poor performance and bad art direction, compared to the original game. Sales were mediocre at best. Eventually, the game got 80% positive reviews on Steam, but there are only 1700 reviews (multiply it by x30-35 to estimate sales).

Retailers report that 9070 XT cards are arriving at stores and that they have QUITE SOME!

Just for comparison — in many cases with RTX 50, NVIDIA was only able to deliver something like this for the whole network in NA. This one is from a single store. Same across NA, Europe, and UK — all major networks reported that they have hundreds and thousands of cards.

It seems that Meta tries to run out of candidates on key markets by banning all previously fired people in their blacklist.
