#Unity CEO and president John Riccitiello is leaving the company

"...announced that John Riccitiello will retire as President, Chief Executive Officer, Chairman and a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, effective immediately." After what happened last month, it seems that board voted to kick him out due to how bad "install fee" was accepted by the audience.

He was replaced by James M. Whitehurst (ex Red Hat and IBM executive, very questionable person) as Interim Chief Executive Officer, so they are still looking for some real replacement and it may lead to some interesting outcome.

Surprisingly, Paradox lost almost $23m on this tactical game that no one purchased. There are only ~140 reviews on Steam in the first week, suggesting that only a couple of thousands bought it.

🤔 What failed them? Let's discuss in the comments!

Microsoft and Activision deal got its final approval from the UK. Merger is now a matter of time. Hard to say if it's a good thing:

Microsoft was behind the worse-rated Bethesda game Starfield, the new failed Forza Motorsport, 500m budget of Halo Infinite, and Redfall. While Activision struggles with Overwatch 2, Warcraft and Starcraft are in very questionable shape, but Diablo and Call of Duty are still their cash cows.

Both companies are making games for way too long and way too much $$, which may be an issue for the modern game industry.

Surprising discovery: #ChatGPT will lie if it is told by one of the entities involved in the conversation later than the one it will lie to. The most reliable way to prove it is to use the image and ask the bot to describe it – it will follow the instruction to lie if it is written.

What if you ask further? Check in the chat!

– The official Star Wars game will be a part of Minecraft. Players will be able to walk through the journey from Padawan to the mighty Jedi Knight.

– The BBC will launch its Planet Earth III educational show inside Minecraft. From a TV and movie series, they extended the brand into two successful DLCs for Minecraft. The third one goes wider and deeper into lives of real and virtual animals.

This is #Metaverse, kids!
