After Almost 20 Years, This Prolific RPG Studio Is Shutting Down

Greedfall: The Dying World developer Spiders has confirmed that it is officially shutting down. The Paris-based studio says that it is being liquidated, with operations ceasing immediately. "We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated," the studio said(https://x.com/spidersgames/status/2049521584461758974) in a statement. "This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years." The shutdown comes in the wake of Spiders' parent company Nacon filing for insolvency(https://www.pcgamer.com/gaming-industry/styx-publisher-nacon-files-for-insolvency-just-a-week-after-we-gave-its-latest-game-82-percent-asks-white-knuckling-creditors-to-figure-out-whats-next-in-a-calm-and-constructive-framework/) after the majority shareholder in the publisher, Bigben Interactive, began experiencing financial difficulties of its own.

Valve Is Forcing Microsoft To Make Significant Improvements To Windows Gaming Performance - Report

It might still be the overwhelming favorite when it comes to PC gaming, but there's no arguing that Microsoft has allowed Windows to get worse and worse over time. It's accelerated a migration to Linux, especially with Valve's efforts to streamline gaming through continued work on Proton and SteamOS. Microsoft understands it's behind, and reportedly has a plan to catch up. A report by Windows Central(https://www.windowscentral.com/microsoft/windows-11/what-is-windows-k2-everything-you-need-to-know-saving-windows-11) details what Microsoft is calling Windows K2. It's not a standalone version of Windows that is meant to replace Windows 11, but rather an initiative that will slowly roll out significant changes to the operating system in a bid to reclaim customer trust and overhaul many key aspects that have become pain points over the past few years. Gaming is unsurprisingly a big focus for K2, with Microsoft reportedly acknowledging that SteamOS is now the benchmark it needs to aim for. The report doesn't go into detail, but mentions that Microsoft is looking to bridge the performance gap between Windows and SteamOS in two years, when comparing performance on identical hardware. That's a good target, especially considering how many of SteamOS performance wins are coming from Windows games running through Proton's translation layer--something that is meant to traditionally negatively impact performance, not improve it.

After Taking On Pirates And Leakers, Nintendo's Next Target Is A Popular Pokemon YouTuber

Nintendo is well-known for the aggressive protection of its brands, and the YouTuber behind the popular series of "PokeNational Geographic" videos claims to be on the receiving end of copyright strikes from the company. According to the creator of the video series, Elious, his channel has been hit with dozens of copyright strikes by Nintendo of America, and he only has a few days left until it is deleted. Because of the multiple strikes issued against 20 of his videos and YouTube's three-strikes policy, the channel is set to be deleted from the platform in a week. As for the videos in question, Elious has been producing short nature documentaries featuring Pokemon, using original custom-made animations. "I have seven days until my channel is deleted," Elious explained in a video on a different channel. "Nintendo of America has copyright striked so many of my videos. They've done it multiple times now, within the span of 12 hours. "I'm downloading stuff of course--I have all the videos myself--but I'll never be able to post them again. And I'll never be able to use this channel again. Over 100,000 subscribers, over three years of making these animations, and it's all going to be gone in seven days."
