The first rule of marketing: if you don't control the narrative over your product, someone else will and their narrative will control you.

The controversial Horizon Live-Service is cancelled or at least significantly cut, according to Bloomberg and GameIndustry:

At best it will become a shorter, cheaper, and more simple spin-off. They will provide a campaign and some twisty but old-fashioned multiplayer. But even this is not that certain anymore — it is still under pressure and can be fully scrapped.

No one liked it, it won't be missed, see ya in Highguard 2.

Stalker 2 has been updated to unreal 5.5.

Literally the new DLSS 310.7.128 and Ray Reconstruction 4.5 — you can use them in some of the compatible games. When works it will grately improve the stability.

Source: the new Call of Duty beta test has these files included. People tested them, for example, in Pragmata — the ghosting trails disappeared completely.

The official release is planned for the next week or the one after it. But as usual it will be limited to some games, not all the games.

And Alexander Chugainov, the owner of Gosha the Crow, who saved the bird and trained it for years, now died. The fella was only 29 and was actively posting just a few days ago. The family will look after Gosha now, but they can't be that good.

UPD: according to his family, he took his own life (couldn't handle the negative thoughs and made this choice).
