Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Epic’s just BUYING studios now?”.
Bing-Bong wiggle wiggle dum-dum Rob slobbed AVI and Dingle Hein. That’S what the script says. So I have to read it 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 psionics the developer of popular eSports game rocket League even worse, epic left gamers to assume the worst about rocket leagues 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 mean time, 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 team 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. One thing that is certain is response: tolerance for cheaters. It’S zero after promising to crack down on cheating the apex legends developer, announced that they’ve blocked seven hundred and seventy thousand players, three hundred thousand new accounts and four thousand cheats. 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 respawn says this is only the beginning of their anti cheater Campaign and they can’t share more details now, as that, would give a heads up to the cheaters Riley and what’s tech linked 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 as 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 can’t double probe tonight brought to you by the Marlin screwdriver set from iFixit each fixed blade, screwdriver features an ergonomic knurled rubberized handle with a swivel top plus a black oxide coated tip, so it hangs on to tiny screws with a steel grip, pretty much everyone Here at lines, many of your abuses and I fix a kit, so you can trust us when we say you can trust, then I fixes Marlin. Screwdrivers are manufactured in Germany and backed by I fix it’s a lifetime warranty so get yours for $ 24.99 at ifixit.com forward, slash Linus or at the link in the video description. The pixel 3a is rumored to be revealed on may 7th, but a Best Buy in Ohio doesn’t respect the laws of man nor nature.
The store puts some pixel three a’s on the shelf for anyone, including the folks at android police, to see here we got you. It’S ridiculous: there have been a plethora of leaks about these devices already, but we’ll wait until next week to get the info straight from the source. Oh Google i/o. That’S some good source. The overwatch league has been pretty successful with its city-based team system.
So Activision Blizzard is going to try the same thing with Call of Duty. Atlanta, Dallas, New York, Paris and Toronto will get their own teams each presumably receiving a dutiful call to represent their city. And/Or sizeable sums of money. Researchers at Microsoft have revealed torque a controller prototype for virtual reality that would allow users to feel virtual objects by providing haptic feedback through a specially developed finger module.
It’S apparently especially good at simulating she balls. So if you’ve been stressed at work, you can just go on home pop on the VR headset and and squeeze those anxieties away in virtual squish space. I can’t wait for VR bouncy castle.
Youtube is planning on taking its original content out from behind the YouTube premium. Pay wall and making it available finally to good old, regular plebs. Like me, I’m so cheap upcoming original shows will be ad supported and existing premium content will also be available for a limited time.
I guess YouTube figured that they’re not Netflix. They figured it out Netflix as Netflix and there’s a potential path to peace in the never-ending battle between pirated retro game, emulators and game producers and stream, which just got funded on Kickstarter, is a streaming service that would grant access to over 2000 classic titles from the Zx Spectrum Amiga converse 64 Sega Genesis and the arcade, the company’s owners are sourcing licenses for the games and if they’re, successful and stream could serve to benefit game rights holders and retro enthusiasts alike it just that would be win-win. There’S no way.
Nintendo’S gon na join us there’s also no way we’re gon na continue this episode, because it’s over thanks for watching everybody, more tech news is on the way on Monday. In fact, it might already be here depending on when you are, but we can’t talk about it until Monday, it’s under embargoed. Until then, you time-traveling perverts proof .
