U.S. gamers filed an antitrust lawsuit against Microsoft in a federal district court in San Francisco, California, from the private sector, alleging that the acquisition of Activision Blizzard would harm fair competition and that the court should block it. Microsoft will also reportedly defend its deal in a court hearing this Friday. U.S. gamers reportedly filed a petition for an injunction, which would block Microsoft's acquisition. On Friday, federal district court judge Jacqueline Corley will evaluate the application. If Microsoft acquires Activision Blizzard as it wishes, it would be the largest merger ever in the world's gaming market. Microsoft explained that the acquisition would be beneficial to gamers, and its legal team previously asked Judge Corley to deny the gamer plaintiffs' motion for an injunction. Court documents show that Microsoft's legal team told Judge Colleen on May 5 that the gamer plaintiffs' claims in the lawsuit were unprecedented and that no court in the history of U.S. law had ever blocked an acquisition deal based on the alleged losses of a few consumers. The Microsoft acquisition was announced in January 2022 and has since sparked an uproar, with antitrust authorities in the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom and other countries and regions reviewing the deal. In April, the U.K. government's antitrust agency announced that it would veto the deal because Microsoft was unable to address concerns that the gaming industry was "harming competition" in the market. The U.S. antitrust agency, the Federal Trade Commission, has also launched an investigation into the deal, but has yet to reach…

Apple currently has a "problem" that many companies are looking at - too much cash. For AAPL investors, this means that Apple will start a massive buyback and a healthy dividend in the coming years.Apple reported cash flow from operations of $28.6 billion for the second quarter of fiscal 2023, which ended April 1. Apple spent $19.1 billion to repurchase 129 million shares of AAPL stock and paid $3.7 billion in dividends to investors. Tech media outlet Morningstar sees the abundance of cash as a good thing on the one hand, which means the company has enough flexibility to innovate and stay competitive by investing in it, and on the other hand, the more cash a company has on its balance sheet and just collects interest on it, which is often seen by investors as an inefficient use of capital.

Starting May 29, 2023, some imported Model S, Model X, Model 3 and China-made Model 3 and Model Y vehicles with production dates between January 12, 2019 and April 24, 2023 are recalled, totaling 1104622 units. The vehicles included in this recall do not allow the driver to select an energy recovery braking strategy and may not provide sufficient warning to the driver if the accelerator pedal is depressed deeply for an extended period of time. The combination of the above factors may increase the probability of long-time misuse of the accelerator pedal, which may increase the risk of collision and pose a safety hazard. The announcement said that the recall activity was carried out under the defect investigation initiated by the State Administration of Market Supervision and Administration. As a result of the investigation, Tesla Motors (Beijing) Co., Ltd. and Tesla (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. plan to push newly developed functions for the vehicles in the recall area through the vehicle remote upgrade (OTA) technology to reduce the risk of collision caused by excessive speed due to prolonged deep pressing of the accelerator pedal. The features include: (1) Providing options to allow drivers to select energy recovery braking intensity on vehicles that do not have energy recovery braking intensity selection; (2) Adjusting the factory default state of the vehicle's energy recovery braking strategy; (3) Alerting the driver when the accelerator pedal is depressed deeply for an extended period of time. Tesla Motors (Beijing) Co., Ltd. and Tesla (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. will notify relevant owners by registered mail and text message…

GEO Holdings, the operator of DLsite, has announced a ban on the upload and sale of illustrations generated using AI art tools such as Midjourney and Stable Diffusion. This is the latest user-generated content platform to introduce such a ban, following similar decisions by sites like PixivFANBOX. DLsite claims that the ban was prompted by concerns about the legality of AI-generated content and the need to protect the creator's environment. We decided to suspend the sale of AI works because "the rapid development of generative AI outpaced the development of responses, guidelines and policies," DLsite said, adding that "this is also a step in the right direction. This is also in light of the impact on existing creators of continuing to sell AI works in their current state," the company added. DLsite's announcement said that the items that will be suspended from AI sales are comics, CG illustrations, videos and picture books generated using AI. Novels, game titles and works created only partially with AI assistance will continue to be sold, DLsite said, adding that it will "make further responses in the future based on the state of development of generative AI technology and community feedback. On May 10, pixivFANBOX, an illustration site run by Pixiv, and Fantia, run by Tora no Ana, also announced that they would temporarily stop selling AI-generated work, a move that follows the lead of other companies.

CDPR announced a bunch of game projects a few months ago, including The Witcher 4 based on Unreal 5, the open-world The Witcher: Remastered, a sequel to Cyberpunk 2077, and The Witcher: Project Sirius, a new game in The Witcher universe being developed by Molasses Flood Studios in Boston (previously Drake Hollow and The Flame in The Flood). The Witcher: Project Sirius is being developed by Molasses Flood Studios in Boston (previously Drake Hollow and The Flame in The Flood) and is part of the new Witcher universe. CDPR announced in March that they had "re-evaluated the original conceptual scope and commercial potential of Project Sirius" and were "developing a new framework for the project. According to the latest regulatory announcement, CDPR said on Thursday that it has completed its work to "define a new framework" for The Witcher: Project Sirius, has set a new direction for the project, and has revised the costs associated with the project. CD Projekt CEO Adam Kiciński previously said, "The game will be set in the world of The Witcher, but it's different from our past releases in that it's aimed at a broader audience. The Witcher: Project Sirius will be available for single-player and multiplayer." It's unclear exactly how the game will play; a job ad posted by The Molasses Flood earlier this year indicated that the game would feature action combat, co-op, AI procedural generation elements and branching or non-linear storytelling, which at first glance sounds like a multiplayer instant service game with story elements rather than a traditional RPG.

In the matchmaking adjustments, Valve and ice frog wrote this, "Let's be honest: there are 8 billion people on the planet, and 99.99% of them play Dota like rookies. This means that matchmaking is a challenge, especially since there are people who play Dota well and like to play with people who are not as good at Dota as you are. We've done a lot of work and calculated a long time to improve the quality of matchmaking across the board for the full range of players." "smurf", is a problem that many competitive games encounter.

"GTA 6" is probably the most anticipated game in the past two years, but developer Rockstar and publisher Take-Two have not released much information about the game. However, someone has already dug up some content about the game map. Some players have found that the buildings in GTA 6 use real photos of Miami, and we can even find many similar scenes and buildings on Google Earth. "GTA 6" depicts the game map in the same chronological order as real life, and some of the buildings are almost 1:1 replicas of the real scene. Of course, the rendered models in the early works do look a little choppy, but I believe the final version will be more refined. Beyond that, GTA 6 fans have already found out where the in-game maps correspond in real life, including where buildings are located in real life. That said, some Miami players may feel like they're driving on real streets when playing the game. ast year, Rockstar suffered a serious hacking attack, the hacker behind which was a 17-year-old Briton, who has been arrested. A few small GTA 6 leaks have since started popping up on social media, but nothing substantial. On September 18, a community member named GTAForums released a more than 50-minute "GTA 6" development version video, revealing some major content of the game.
