Holy crap, I missed this drama completely and apparently all the software to control fan speeds is using a system hack that (if active) sets your whole PC at risk...
WinRing0 is a driver that all monitoring apps and fan tuning apps were using to get deep access to sensors.
The problem? You definitely need this driver to run such apps for handhelds and laptops. On some models without this access the fans will spin at 100% all the time.

Sadly, Blender just signed up with Anthropic (claude). The sponsorship got such a bad feedback that Blender updated the article with special "listening to your feedback" statement.

Nacon publishing house was unable to find anyone who can quickly acquire studio Spiders. It was placed on sale a month ago.
Now the company behind Technomancer, Greedfall, Bound by Flame, Of Orcs and Men, and Steelrising, is going to be fully closed. The DLCs are now going to be completed and released by Nacon themselves (no, apparently, they will not due to lack of funding).
Spiders existed for over 18 years and was making soulful AA RPGs. If you missed their games completely, they were similar to Piranha Bytes but from France.

If you missed it, I'm a huge fan of the original Greedfall. A unique old-fashioned RPG with immersive story, solid characters, clunky combat, and a lot of backtracking.
And it was done on much smaller budget than Expedition 33, for example.

EA just announced a very expensive... early access / pre-purchase of premium battle-pass for the S3 of Battlefield 6. WHAT?
Can I kindly remind you that the game is bleeding players, it's simply not working in any way, and now you can PAY $25 (or Eur) for early premium access to the battle pass. How is it a solution to anything?

Kind reminder that the slogan of PlayStation a few years ago was PLAY HAS NO LIMITS (and it kinda is still present in their branding) Now it apparently has limits... #PlayStation@GameDEV
What time is it? It's damage control time: PlayStation are now trying to explain that they were not understood correctly. Yes, it's your fault 😎
The new "30 days" system was created to prevent "refund and go offline" scams, not to make every user suffer.
PlayStation will not ask players to go online every 30 days and yes, their own descriptions were misleading in that case. If the game gets through online confirmation once, it will work offline (if this state is even supported by the game itself).

Just started Pillars of the Earth game (by the folks who made Deponia and State of Mind). I still remember how we watched the TV adaptation with my then wife and it was oddly violent and nasty long before Game of Thrones.
Welp, the game is exactly this... it painfully follows the book and the TV show. No idea what I expected but somehow not this. Also, it's ridiculously expensive (the production value — tons of detailed arts, animated scenes, vooce overs everywhere). The 2D quest that weighs 22GB+
Daedalic are also owned by Nacon and will definitely be the next after Spiders to get liquidated. After the failure of Gollum this outcome was probably sealed.

How curious: Microsoft is losing money on nearly everything. Numbers in () are negative values.
Xbox lost 7% of revenue, content and services by 5%, and Xbox devices sales plummeted by 33%. The department is in decline for years in a row. The only 3% boost was back in 2023.
