Final Fantasy XVI has been released on PC! The game was critically acclaimed but turned out to become a commercial failure for Square Enix on #PlayStation. They even suggested that they will not make exclusives anymore.
Will see how it goes, but right now it seems there are not so many players at launch... but at least it's №5 in the top sellers list!
According to Steam forums, a lot of players are unable to download it yet and some regions are banned completely. Which explains the low player counter for now.
UPD: Eventually, the game is doing good with 10K simultaneously playing fans and the counter is growing every minute.

“FAB” CONTENT MARKETPLACE LAUNCHES IN OCTOBER; PUBLISHING PORTAL OPENS TODAY (LINK)
FAB:
— Will replace UE Marketplace
— Will support Godot
— Will replace Quixel Store
— Will replace Sketchfab
— And ArtStation Marketplace
⚠️ The majority of NEW Megascans will be paid for everyone (including UE users) but until the end of 2024 THEY WILL BE FREE FOR EVERYONE. Get ready to get as much as you can in October.
Fab will be a one-stop destination where you can discover, buy, sell, and share assets. It will offer an 88/12 revenue share that puts creators first, enabling them to build real, sustainable businesses on Fab.
The biggest issue is their legal agreement: https://www.fab.com/cla — it grants buyers with very limited rights and too many obligations.

Google rolled out their new AI assistant Gemini and forcibly disabled certain features of the old Assistant.
For example: Gemini can't search your screen on demand so Google decided that... old assistant also shouldn't and disabled this feature for everyone. Now whether you allow Gemini or not, screen search button does nothing.
It's evolving, just backwards... #Google #Android

Imagine Social Network where nothing is real (well, like in any other) but this time ALL your followers are AI!
Users can make a fake user profile and be anyone they want to be, tune AI bots and talk to them. We are definitely in a cursed reality!

Meanwhile, Switch 2 is fully defined and will hit the mass production soon. The official announcement is expected this year and sales should begin in Q2 of 2025.
According to factory rumors: Switch 2 has 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM at 7500MT/s, 256GB of storage at 2100MB/s, HDMI 2.1 support, and the design very similar to the original Switch.
Overall, it makes the device more capable than Steam Deck or even XBox Series S.

After all these years I've tried Battlefield Hardline as a single player game... and it's quite good for something that has been released a decade ago with medium-budget!
Online is dead, but if it's gonna be on sale for $5 or if you have it already — can recommend!
Instead of “yet another military conflict”, we are now in the middle of suburb gang wars as a young cop. The result is extremely linear, but solid.

There was Unite 2024 (#Unity conference) and they announced way more than just the end of Unity Fee:
— They are now focused on making it solid — all the DOTS and other modules will be integrated into the core, URP and HDRP are going to merge into one scalable pipeline, and more.
The engine should not be a mess of semi-usable blocks. But the majority of big changes are planned for Unity 7. While Unity 6 is aiming to make it finally easy to move from one version to another without breaking literally everything in the project.
