Retired gaming executive Reggie Fils-Aime, who led Nintendo of America for 15 years before announcing his retirement, has shared his thoughts on the idea of “console wars” in gaming. In an interview with GamerTag Radio, Fils-Aime said that while gaming is a massive business in terms of the money it brings in, the leadership is actually a small group of executives who are on friendly terms, even if they are competitive in the context of business. Come from Sports betting site VPbet

Fils-Aime pointed out that the leaders from major game companies come together quarterly to meet with the Entertainment Software Association–the group that organizes E3 and represents the video game industry’s interests in Washington, D.C.–to disc…

The first wave of Fantastic Fest was announced today, and the Austin-based genre festival revealed a surprise for its opening night. Legendary’s all-new version of the Troma Entertainment classic, The Toxic Avenger will have its worldwide debut debut on September 21.

The measure enjoys bipartisan backing with the Senate and House okaying the passage of Senate Bill 1462 with minimum opposition. Thanks to this document, casinos and the hospitality industry will be able to employ people who have felony convictions, as the state’s strategy to both expand the hiring pool in general and also to ensure that this target group can be integrated safely and reliably back into society.

When we imagine robots, our minds often go towards a sci-fi future in which our world, or perhaps even the worlds beyond it, are populated with fantastical machines performing fantastical tasks. However, the reality in 2024 is a little more down to Earth. Spare a thought then for this particular model of machine, as rather than ushering in a new dawn of technological revolution, it’s instead been hired by San Antonio airport to stand near some doors.

The model in question is one of Knightscope’s K5 autonomous security robots, and it’s a fairly impressive tower of authoritarian power (via The Guardian). Weighing in at 420lb and standing at just over five feet tall, the robot is designed for outdoor or indoor use, primarily in a security capacity. And San Antonio city council has ju…

Very quietly and without warning, Assassin’s Creed: 4 Black Flag was recently removed from sale on Steam. It’s still listed, and you can still access it if you already own it, but new purchases aren’t currently possible. The surprise shutdown sparked hope among some fans that Ubisoft might be working on a Black Flag remake—and maybe even that a surprise release could be in the offing. But Ubisoft says that’s not actually the case, and that sales of Black Flag weren’t intentionally halted. Something’s just gone wrong.

“We are aware that Assassin’s Creed Black Flag is currently unavailable for purchase on Steam,” a Ubisoft representative told PC Gamer. “This is due to a technical issue, and our teams are working on a solution to bring it back as soon as possible.”

Larian Studios announced on Monday that Jim Southworth, who led the Baldur’s Gate 3 cinematic animation team, has died. He was 56 years old, and had been diagnosed with cancer at the end of 2022.

“Jim was always ready to join in the fun,” said Larian UK studio head James Austin in a statement sent to PC Gamer. “Friends with everyone in the team. Eager to be with his animators yet old enough to be their father. He loved making games, and we loved making them with him. We will miss him greatly.”

Among Southworth’s other credits in his multi-decade career are sandbox MMO Boundless, multiple PlayStation EyeToy games and the early PSVR development, and ’90s animated series The Animals of Farthing Wood. He worked on Baldur’s Gate 3 for five years, starting in 2019.

Japanese tennis star Naomi Osaka is challenging the “weird stigma” around athletes who speak about political issues, arguing that it is not faced by other professions.

“Everyone has a vote and a say, I think it’s really weird that athletes get told to just stick to sports,” Osaka said at Wednesday’s TIME100 Talks. “You would never go up to a barber and say just stick to cutting hair. It’s a weird stigma that gets attached and I don’t even know where it comes from.”

In recent weeks Osaka, 22, who is of Japanese and Haitian descent, has been speaking out in support of anti-racism protests around the world sparked by the killing of George Floyd in police custody in the U.S. On social media, Osaka has encouraged people …
