Judge halves $500 million award to Bethesda parent Zenimax in Oculus lawsuit

Added: 30.06.2018 11:26 | 1255 views | 0 comments


A judge has ordered Facebook and Oculus to pay Zenimax $250 million in damages over a lawsuit alleging the virtual reality venture stole trade secrets from Zenimax. It’s half of the $500 million awarded to Zenimax by a jury in February 2017.
U.S. District judge Ed Kinkeade ruled that the lawsuit lacked sufficient evidence to sustain the charges that Oculus founders Palmer Luckey and Brendan Iribe were responsible for damages over false designation, i.e., failing to disclose the origin of a product they were selling. Kinkeade said this means Oculus and Facebook can’t be expected to pay the $250 million in damages that stemmed from that aspect of Zenimax’s suit.
While they work out the legal issues, here's our list of the .
When the case initially wrapped up last February, the jury awarded Zenimax $500 million in damages, but determined that Oculus did not steal trade secrets, as Zenimax alleged, when it hired id Software co-founder John Carmack away from Zenimax.
In 2014, Zenimax accused Oculus of stealing proprietary VR technology and using it as the basis for the Rift and filed suit. The company has also alleged that Carmack took trade secrets with him when he left to join Facebook and Luckey, a charge which . Carmack has filed a , alleging the company still owes him that amount in contract payouts. ZeniMax Oculus legal dispute
Oculus founder Palmer Luckey sold his company to Facebook for $2 billion in 2014, but left Facebook last year after reporting by The Daily Beast that revealed his involvement .

Valve defends decision to back off Steam curation with hard numbers at industry talk

Added: 30.06.2018 8:43 | 1350 views | 0 comments


Valve’s move to an ‘anything goes’ approach to deciding which games will appear on Steam is a controversial one, but the company defended the decision by offering up some hard numbers that help describe the scope of the problem at a games industry talk this week in Russia.
Earlier this month, Valve announced that the company would allow any game on Steam so long as it wasn’t either illegal or “trolling.” The move came after outcry over emails the company sent to the developers of adult-themed games, primarily visual novels, telling them to either censor content or have their games pulled from Steam.
Valve might not be doing much curation these days, but we still are! Here's our list of the .
Now, Valve is explaining the subsequent decision to cease curating games almost entirely. Jan-Peter Ewert, head of Valve’s business development, gave a presentation at the Business Conference for Games Industry that laid out some of the numbers the company deals with when it comes to the sheer number of new games coming through Steam Direct.
In one slide, provided via Twitter by , Ewert shows how the number of new games on Steam has increased with each successive indie discovery program. Before Greenlight, which launched in 2012, about five games were released a week. With Greenlight, that number grew to 70 per week, and now with Steam Direct, Valve is seeing about 180 weekly game launches. Valve
Those numbers couple with an ever-expanding Steam playerbase. Ewert said 13.5 million first-time purchasers have arrived on Steam in January through April of this year. They add up to a daunting challenge, wherever you fall on Valve’s decision about curating games.

Slay the Spire has sold a million copies in Early Access

Added: 30.06.2018 6:09 | 1172 views | 0 comments


Deck-building roguelike Slay the Spire has sold a million copies since its Early Access launch in November. Developer Mega Crit games announced the milestone along with one of Slay the Spire’s regular updates Thursday, along with the usual list of tweaks, fixes, and additions to the game.
“Just a few days ago, we reached 1,000,000 players for Slay the Spire,” Mega Crit wrote in the Steam post accompanying Weekly Update 31, which adds a Custom game mode. “It’s been a wild ride as the two of (and a great number of collaborators!) started work on this game almost 3 years ago.”
There are some great CCGs out there. Here's our list of the .
If you aren’t one of the million players who have checked out Slay the Spire, it’s a run-based roguelike with an FTL-style system for moving through a series of dungeons, with monster encounters represented by fast-paced card combat. As you defeat monsters and find treasure, you’ll add to your deck, which changes completely based on which of three characters you pick at the beginning. It’s simple enough to pick up and play, but there’s a lot of complexity in its card synergies and building strategies.
“The feedback and reception for the game has been far more than any developer could hope for and we’d like to sincerely thank all of you for playing the game, creating amazing content, and even starting riots over boots,” . “We hope to pay you all back by working our butts off.”

Nvidia SLI vs AMD CrossFire: are the multi-GPU technologies toast?

Added: 30.06.2018 5:01 | 1495 views | 0 comments


If you want to create the fastest gaming PC in the world then you want to jam as many graphics cards as you can inside it, right? After all, if it’s good enough for Summit - the most powerful computer ever made, with its 27,648 Nvidia Volta GPUs, - then surely it’s good enough for your home gaming rig too.
But, outside of five figure PC builds for the spoilt rich kids of Mr. and Mrs. Moneybags there are very few multi-GPU PCs around. When the Steam Hardware Survey was still bothering to measure such things, the percentage of PC gamers using more than a single card was buried behind the decimal points of a big fat zero.
And if you want the best single GPU these are the around today.
So is there any life in the future of multi-GPU solutions or are both AMD's CrossFire and Nvidia's SLI relics of a long forgotten past? As ever, it’s a little bit from Box A and a little bit from Box B… Nvidia SLI vs AMD CrossFire
AMD’s CrossFire and Nvidia’s SLI are the bespoke technologies the two graphics card giants used to get their own GPUs playing nicely together in a single system. Originally both technologies demanded the use of a ribbon cable to connect the multiple graphics cards to each other, but while that is most assuredly still the case with Nvidia’s GeForce cards, AMD’s Radeon GPUs are now able to operate without such restrictions and communicate happily over the PCIe 3.0 interface.
