Ubisoft just launched that legendary game you never heard of: BattleCore Arena 1.0. They will shut down the servers in spring…

… but it will work as Peer-2-Peer game with servers on a client. They are now scared to close games after The Crew PR disaster.

The game has 1 player online on Steam… not 100, not even 10, literally 1 player. And 124 when it was launched a year ago.

This fella made the game run at 60FPS on PS5. For free. And got DMCA-ed by SONY.

What the hell are you even selling then?! 🙄

UPD: Those are CPUs but since the US has horrible laws against theft, they keep CPUs in a safe storage so people can't steal them.

It's literally: fellow Americans, please, don't break the glass to run with the box, it's empty.

The most lunatic idea is to believe that you can reverse time and get your own project back in its good old times form.

People have changed significantly: they are overwhelmed, tired, and have no will to make content like in old times. But Facebook can be improved still — stop showing random groups and people in the feed where actual friends were supposed to be.

Flow is also nominated for Oscar as the best animated film. The movie has no lines, no human characters, and it was entirely made in Blender by a small team in Latvia (with some extra work done in France and Belgium).

🙄 The what?

Yeah, the whole game industry is currently being promoted outwards.

Meanwhile, The US government explained their vision of AI and Copyright:

They believe that certain Prompts (that do work well and were created with a reason and within specified environment) can be a matter of copyright.

But they are mostly aiming to make EDITED generated content supported for the copyright procedure. Unedited stuff will not work.

A nice overview of the new Call of Duty level design (and why it obviously sucks):

It seems like they've had different departments making changes to both levels, movement, and gunplay without truly talking to each other!
