Random guy created Steam Curator to detect all games that were affected by Sweet Baby Inc — the consulting company altering games to be more progressive (to not get cancelled and receive better scores for investors).

One of the SBI leads tried to hunt down the creator of that group, asked his fans to deal with him and asked Valve to ban his Steam.

Instead the SBI bully promoted the curator who got 50000 followers overnight and the bully's own Twitter switched to private. Now the page has 87K followers despite not getting new titles listed yet.

Is it reasonable to worry about the SBI part in upcoming games? Yes, a lot of their most notable projects failed, including Suicide Squad. But it's highly unlikely those companies would not do the same without SBI. They are more like a face and a tool than the actual reason. But when the issue has the face — it gets easier to criticize.

Pretty interesting that physics in Forza can be affected heavily by hardware:

Imagine you discovered the original Steam Machine without OS, Drivers, SSD, and any hope but then you can play Doom Eternal on it!

Funcom (known for Conan: Exiles) will launch Dune: Awakening survival MMO. It's rather a sad commercial route for a very creative publisher, that brought us The Longest Journey and Dreamfall.

The game is heavily about crafting and scrapping minerals with lasers. Cause what else do you like more than scrapping things with lasers, right? Definitely a most favorite part of NMS, Starfield, Star Citizen, etc.

YUZU emulator developers will pay Nintendo $2.4m, give all sources, domain name, etc. Creators haven't had good lawyers to resist such an attack. The process of a deal took less than a week. It can be a bad sign for any emulator creators who want to monetize their work (which made them easily trackable for authorities).

❌ All repositories, website, Discord channels, and a Patreon page will be taken down asap. The GitHub page is already down.

🤔 Why now? Switch 2 is coming soon and they will sell remasters for a full price. And to make it look reasonable there should be no alternatives.

As Pikachu said: case closed!

VRAM is essential for games and Hardware Unboxed measured how:

Yes

There is a major disruption of Facebook and Google services around the world. Don't worry if you can't login to your account — millions of people can't and it lasts for half an hour already.

Do you like #GlobalIllumination? Cause modern game engines do: #Unigine showcased their new PSDGI (Panorama Space Dynamic Global Illumination). It works with all GPU vendors and is reasonably fast compared to previous techniques.

It's not yet clear how it works, but they mentioned Raymarching mode for the Environment Probe light source + spatial temporal denoiser.
