Over the years, there’s been plenty of speculation as to why RPGs–and turn-based RPGs in particular–aren’t quite as popular as they once were. While there’s no one right answer to as to why this is the case, what is clear is this is particularly bad news for companies like Square Enix. Though the studio has diversified its portfolio over the years and has been keen to add modern twists to its old formulas, it’s no secret that even its blockbuster titles aren’t performing as well as the company would hope. Ahead of Final Fantasy VII Revelation’s 2027 release, its director,…

The issue is one of attribution: Can we detect the cause of climate change in individual weather events? A few decades ago, that simply wasn’t possible. But researchers have since developed tools that allow them to determine the probability that different events would occur with and without the influence of our greenhouse gas emissions. And so it has become clear that some of the most extreme events simply wouldn’t have occurred without the warming we’ve driven. That clarity has allowed other researchers to tie the financial damages from catastrophic weather events to the influence of fossil fuels produced by individual…

In November, Jeff Bezos announced that he would become co-CEO of a new startup called Prometheus.

Now, with a major new round of funding, Bezos and co-founder Vik Bajaj have talked about it in slightly more detail. The funding round is significant—$12 billion now, after an initial round of $6.2 billion last year, for a valuation of $41 billion. The funding comes…

Anthropic completely shut off access to its Mythos 5 and Fable 5 models Friday night, just days after they were launched. The move comes after Anthropic’s receipt of a US Commerce Department directive Friday evening, subjecting the new models to export controls restricting their use anywhere outside the United States. In a message posted Friday night, Anthropic said the only way for it to ensure compliance with that government order in the immediate term “is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers.” Access to other Anthropic models is not affected. An Axios report…
Microsoft’s potential options for the future of the Xbox brand reportedly include spinning it off into a separate company or operating as a “wholly owned subsidiary” rather than a division within Microsoft. According to The Information (via Reuters), these are just a few of the options Microsoft is considering.

Game Pass has, at least partially, seen improvement following a price cut that also removed new Call of Duty games from the library. A spin-off would, on…
