just when you thought the war between steam and the epic game store was maybe
starting to cool down one of the biggest offensives yet has been launched epic
has acquired psyonix the developer of popular esports game rocket league even
worse epic left gamers to assume the worst about rocket league's fate on
steam initially saying that the game would come to the epic game store in late 2019
and would continue to be supported on steam in the meantime but does that mean
eventually support will stop for steam users
psyonix themselves said players on steam can look forward to continued support
while epic does give developers greater revenue share and their resources will
no doubt support rocket league status as an esport it's these kind of
uncertainties that make the whole epic versus steam fight so annoying like will
steam users get all future updates will riley be forced to play using a
controller instead of a mouse and keyboard never
no one thing that is certain is respawns
tolerance for cheaters it's zero after
promising to crack down on cheating the apex legends developer announced that
they've blocked 770 000 players 300 000 new accounts and
4 000 cheat sellers they've also made it
easier to report cheats in game added new automatic cheat detecting features
and they're working with cheating experts to enact a full-scale anti-cheat
defense yeah you better freaking watch out yet cheaters

share more details now as that would give a heads up to the cheaters riley it
seems like they already gave a bunch of details about it and what's TechLinked
without a story about facebook being ridiculous we've already heard that
facebook was developing a digital currency for use within whatsapp but now
reports are emerging about a cryptocurrency meant for facebook itself
the company is apparently trying to raise a billion dollars from financial
institutions to help it develop the currency which would be a stable coin
whose value is tethered to other conventional currencies like the dollar
dealing with people's money would raise even more questions about personal
privacy but at least facebook is asking the federal government for help with
that in exchange for ending a federal probe into its privacy problems the
company told the ftc it would submit to greater oversight of its data collection
practices and i can't blame them from what i've heard probes can be pretty
uncomfortable i'm getting double probe tonight

retro game emulators and game producers and stream which just got funded on
kickstarter is a streaming service that would grant access to over 2 000 classic
titles from the zx spectrum amiga commodore 64 sega genesis and the arcade
the company's owners are sourcing licenses for the games and if they're
successful andstream could serve to benefit game rights holders and retro
enthusiasts alike it's just that would be win win there's no way nintendo's
going to join
