Crimson Desert‘s Charting the Unknown has arrived, but rather than a focused story expansion, it’s more about adding other elements to the existing world. This includes endgame challenges, new housing options, a romance system, plus a sailing ship and ocean questline about exploring Pywel’s treacherous coast and islands. Each feature has different unlock requirements, so…
It’s been almost 15 years since BioWare co-founders Greg Zeschuk and Ray Muzyka announced their retirements from the videogame industry, and they’ve been resolute about staying out of it ever since: Muzyka continues to head up the ThresholdImpact investment firm he founded in 2012 and holds multiple roles at the University of Alberta, while Zeschuk…

Even during a good financial year, a big tech investor is seemingly never satisfied. Case in point, while Google Search grew by 12% year-over-year and made $63.3 billion this past quarter, parent company Alphabet’s share price took a pretty spectacular tumble. Despite making an amount of money the mere thought of which sucks the air…
