Opening arguments began on Tuesday in the case of Musk v. Altman, the Tesla CEO’s lawsuit against Sam Altman and OpenAI for, in the attorney’s words, “preying on Musk’s humanitarian concern about the existential dangers posed by artificial intelligence” in what is “a textbook tale of altruism versus greed.” Musk is the good guy in…
Early access survival games can be dangerous for players, and not just when it comes to murderous monsters. As games get patched and updated over years of early access development, the consequences for players can occasionally be dire: corrupted saves, lost items, overwritten bases, and sometimes flat-out world wipes that sets everyone back to square…
The founder of PocketOS, a B2B company that handles reservations and payments for car rental businesses, has bemoaned the “systemic failures” that saw an AI agent decide to solve a problem by straight-up deleting his company’s production database, and the backups. I’ll say at the outset that this story has a happy ending, thanks to…
Pirate survival game Windrose is a megahit, but after two weeks of sailing the early access seas, a lot of pirates have run out of new discoveries and have fully explored the game’s initial three biomes. Many players are naturally asking: what’s next? And, perhaps as importantly: when? Today developer Kraken Express outlined some of…
It’s a big day for The Blood of Dawnwalker, the upcoming vampiric RPG headed by The Witcher 3 game director Konrad Tomaszkiewicz and lead quest designer Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz. The release date was announced as part of today’s “Road to Launch” showcase, we got a (slightly) closer look at what the game has to offer, and…
We knew from the start, it would be a race. From the moment the first Commodore 64 Ultimate arrived, the community was going to find a way to give their Ultimate the C64C ‘Slimline’ treatment. We knew you wanted it. We were hoping we could beat you to it. But it’s only fitting the community…
Many Helldivers 2 fans weren’t thrilled to learn last week that Arrowhead is locking two new mechs behind the $10 Exo Experts warbond. It’s the first time the vehicle has seen any evolution in two years, and the decision to sell its flamethrowing and grenade-lobbing variants furthers a trend of all (not just some) new…
Today saw the release of s&box, the long-in-development successor to Garry’s mod that’s also open source and hopes to become a kind of Roblox for dads. There’s no denying the potential of this toolkit, nor the commendably generous principles behind why it’s been released in the way it has, but it does have one immediate…
Between getting beaten up by blister head zombies and running for dear life from The Girl, I spent a great deal of time, perhaps too much time, trying to figure out how the hell I could solve The Final Puzzle in Resident Evil Requiem. After hours and hours of staring at a bunch of numbers…
Visiting developer Rebel Wolves in Warsaw earlier this month, one of the first things that greeted me was its slogan, painted in big letters on the wall: “A studio born out of love for RPGs.” Its first game, The Blood of Dawnwalker, certainly fits the bill—a hugely ambitious sandbox in which half-human, half-vampire Coen must…
