Ubisoft, PlayStation, ARMA, and DAYZ are down. The nature is healing 🍀
Fun fact: Ubisoft locks down its old games the way that you have to login every fuckin time you launch Far Cry 3, Assassin's Creed 4, etc. But not the newer games — Steam login is enough for modern titles. There's literally no reason for gatekeeping old games, since all these games are already cracked.

KCD2 is doing great: 1M copies sold on the first day!
It seems that KCD II has the budget of around $41m, which is exceptionally small by modern standards.
This number already paid off. And it was achieved by using labor from Eastern Europe, Cyprus, and some other cheaper areas. For example, Owlcat Games (Pathfinder, Rogue Trader) provided a strong team of developers for the game.

Yeah, Copywrite laws sux, never use what you don't own as commercial projects (and probably free ones too), and always do your homework on all the assets, names, and terms:
Even for a small indie game you should hold a spreadsheet of all works, their respective creators and owners, and so on:

Making Indie Games with Public Domain Content
In this 2022 Independent Games Summit session, award-winning game designer Chris Totten shows how to use public domain content for building unique visual and audio identities, making games from recognizable IP, or even promoting your game to new audiences.…

You will not believe it, but XBox have found a unique feature they forgot possible — it is called MARKETING. A forgotten one, no doubt, but elders assure it is required for games to make any money.
For the upcoming Avowed release Microsoft ordered dozens of street placements in North America, Western Europe, and Asia. After traditional banners and video ads, street art started to appear. This one is from Berlin.

Meanwhile, PlayStation is down for over 12 hours now. For the last time such a significant collapse was over a decade ago.
Fun fact: people are often complaining to game developers and publishers who can't fix PSN from their side.
Fun fact 2: some PS5 users are saying that their consoles are unable to boot up right now, so even offline games are not playable.

Meanwhile Steam is restricting in-game ADs! The format that is now driving monetization in mobile games is fully forbidden on Steam (proof).

Did you know that this nasty game will obviously fail? 'cause controversy, a bad combat system, and stuff...
Meanwhile the game just surpassed 226 000 concurrent players on Steam.
So maybe (just maybe) the failure of The Veilguard wasn't about races, genders, and definitely not due to lack of multiplayer 😂

He literally categorized and counted all the buildings! 🥲🫡
Honestly: if you are making an indie game, build things that will leave people curious to learn, master, and study. Crazy fellas like this one will be able to make a whole university program out of it.

The population of Just Cause 3
In this video I have counted my way across the map of Just Cause 3 to see how many people call the nation of Medici home. Next to this I was also interested in seeing whether the huge population of soldier that staff the military bases across the map is realistic…

24 hours have passed since the PlayStation Network collapsed. There are no specific details or explanations from the company.
The previous big outage was in 2011. After the network was hacked it was offline for 23 days. The story ended with class action lawsuits.
The company lost over $170m back then and it's obvious that they will keep their mouth shut now to minimize any losses.

It seems that the new RTX50 series GPUs are not very good for a wide range of computations. Despite greater power consumption and more CUDA cores, the output is often the same or even worse than for RTX40.
