According to Disney, its number of streaming viewers has now surpassed Netflix after it saw an increase of 14.4 million additional customers in the past quarter. On the other hand, Netflix is still losing subscribers by the millions after posting its first negative subscriber gain a few months back. As a result, Netflix’s subscriber number of 220.7 million is now fewer than the 221 million streaming customers that Disney has across Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+....

Despite the limited selection of games that support its haptic feedback and adaptive trigger functions, the controller has earned fans among gamers who use the DualSense on the PC. Unfortunately, using DualSense controllers on the PC isn’t straightforward. Specifically, DualSense owners must have a PS5 console to update their firmware and there was no way around it - until now. According to a captured version of the EULA for a DualSense firmware updater application, Sony is working on making it easier to use PS5 owners on the PC....

So, while EA Sports and FIFA have been synonymous with each other, at least as far as soccer sports simulations go, it appears that the nearly-30-year partnership will change soon. Journalist and industry insider Jeff Grubb claimed on his premium show, Grubbsnax, that Electronic Arts will change the name of its soccer franchise soon to “EA Sports Football Club, EA Sports FC.” This would line up with the recent rumors about EA’s ongoing struggle against FIFA that saw the publisher’s CEO, Andrew Wilson, claim that the brand is holding the best-selling sports sim franchise back....

After a $3 billion spending spree, the founder of Tesla now owns 9.2% of all Twitter shares, making him the single largest shareholder of one of his most frequented properties on the internet.

LucasFilm Games to LucasArts Games In 1982, LucasFilm Games was established by George Lucas himself. It was intended as a department under the larger Lucasfilm Group to serve as the arm for video games development. Interestingly, the first games developed by the LucasFilm Games arm would not be Star Wars related. This was because the rights and development license was given to Atari. However, having their biggest intellectual property out of their hands may have been a blessing in disguise....

The accomplished director’s choice to adapt only the first half of the book was a risky one where pandemic conditions made the success of the movie - and thus the possibility of the second part - uncertain. Luckily, audiences flocked to the production both in theatres and streaming platforms, so the continuation recieved the green light. One side effect of adapting half the book is that Villeneuve had to decide on where to split the story, and what elements to leave out....

Motion blur is, like chromatic aberration and an overuse of lens flaring, one of those visual effects that AAA games just love shoving into your face in order to sell the game as featuring cutting edge, top of the line graphics. In practice, it’s ugly at best and outright nauseating at worst. If, like us, you despise this pointless visual effect that achieved nothing beyond smudging the beautifully crafted scenery of the game, you now have a way to turn it off....

The Grand Theft Auto series has been in a virtual limbo since the last big standalone game, GTA V. As that game was released in 2013, it is approaching 10 years that Rockstar Games released a full-fledged entry (GTA Online notwithstanding).

That may soon change with the currently in-development GTA 6....

The Halo franchise is known for its storytelling and gameplay. However, there’s no denying that the AAA shooter from Microsoft has become one of the most iconic franchises in gaming, partly because of its multiplayer. With that said, the multiplayer Halo experience wouldn’t be complete without its announcer. One could say that Jeff Steitzer is the voice of Halo multiplayer. The 69-year-old voice actor has had a hand in the iconic commentary fans have come to love from multiplayer matches in Halo....

Possibly even more popular among fans of video games than Cyberpunk’s Keanu Reeves, Cavill’s interest in video games has been well known for a while now, and the subject of a lot of fan attention. Possibly the first high-profile story linking him to the hobby was when he admitted to almost missing his audition for the role of Superman / Clark Kent due to a late night WoW session....

Races Unlike other role-playing games where race is a minor point in your character’s creation, race in Elder Scrolls Online directly affects your class abilities. While you can play any race and still build a pretty powerful Templar, there are some races that provide skills that naturally suit the class. Altmer (High Elf) Altmer are naturally Magic focused and make excellent Templars, DPS based or otherwise. They are adept with the Destruction Staff (which we’ll talk about in the Gear section) to the point that their Destruction Staff skill levels up 15% faster than other races....

What are the Safes? Safes contain valuable items that are useful in the game. Some safes contain unique weapon attachments that you can get when you open the safe. There are only three safes in Resident Evil 3, and there are two additional lockers that require three-digit codes to open.
