Okay, it wasn't the final one 😞
Codemasters, the legendary studio behind Colin McRae, Dirt, and WRC, is now left in a very dangerous situation. But the case of WRC is even more interesting!
The British department (Codemasters Cheshire) is based on Evolution Studios, who previously created MotorStorm and WRC. Due to internal conflicts in PlayStation, they closed Evolution, then they turned into the Codemasters department, and then into another Criterion Games.
EA purchased it in 2022 for $1.2B and called it a new big chapter. Not as big as it seemed.

The notorious "Piracy is a crime" ad, created to fight illegal movies distribution over 20 years ago, caused the opposite effect — it explained that piracy exists to millions of paying customers.
But that's not the funniest part: both music in the video and the font they used weren't properly purchased.

The only moment from Borderlands 4 trailer worth watching!

Marathon is not doing great: the close alpha test is almost as popular as Concord. People are invited in waves, there was a peak of ~7000 people, but then it quickly dropped to 1000, and at night time it dips as low as 58 players.
Seeing this, the speculated closure of Titanfall Extraction becomes more obvious — people are not into the concept and the success of Tarkov is rather an exemption.

Microsoft is raising XBox prices (up to $80-100), and games prices will follow soon (they will cost $80 instead of $70).

And in contradiction to all I said, ARC Raiders from Embark is a great game — people generally praise it, despite its extraction genre!

Epic Store is now free from revenue share up to $1m per year per project. Which means, the store is efficiently free for the majority of indie developers.
After $1m mark, they keep the previous 12% fee, which is still much lower than what Steam offers (30%).
In addition to that, developers will now have tools to build web stores within Epic Store and use them for in-app purchases.

Godot 4.5 will support SVG!
Vector images are lightweight and have nearly infinite resolution, so you don't need to store huge PNG files for some of the detailed visuals.

Apple complied with the court rule and now, according to their EULA, apps in the US can suggest users too leave into the web version and pay cheaper without Apple fees.
Glory to Tim Sweeney!

I'll come back to it this weekend to add more variations for more use cases. And will then re-distribute it on Artstation and FAB too. As of now, your stars help me get noticed!
