Dolphin abandons efforts to bring emulator to Steam

Developer Dolphin has announced that it’s given up on trying to bring its titular emulator to Steam. On its blog, the company gave an update to months long controversy that saw its emulation software delisted from Valve’s storefront after a DMCA takedown. 

Dolphin was quick to clarify that Nintendo didn’t file the original takedown, as initially believed. It revealed that Valve’s legal team contacted Nintendo, after which a lawyer from Nintendo of America asked Valve to delist the product.

The only way to avoid delisting, according to the blog, was to come to an agreement with the Japanese developer. But Dolphin acknowledged Nintendo’s often litigious view on emulation and considered “Valve’s requirement for us to get approval from Nintendo for a Steam release to be impossible.”

“Considering the strong legal wording at the start of the document and the citation of DMCA law, we took the letter very seriously,” wrote Dolphin. It added that its original statement post-takedown was “fairly frantic” and “as we understood it at the time, which turned out to only fuel the fires of speculation.”

Le projet d’acquisition d’Activision Blizzard par Microsoft, d’un montant de près de 69 milliards de dollars, rencontre un nouvel obstacle de taille. La Federal Trade Commission (FTC) a lancé une action en justice fédérale antitrust pour bloquer l’opération.

The FTC has filed a legal challenge to try and block Microsoft’s plan to buy Activision Blizzard for $68.7 billion, according to a press release from the regulator. The lawsuit was filed today after weeks of back and forth between Microsoft, Sony, and regulators over competition concerns and the future of Call of Duty. The FTC argues that the acquisition would “enable Microsoft to suppress competitors to its Xbox gaming consoles and its rapidly growing subscription content and cloud-gaming business.”

Microsoft says Nintendo would get Call of Duty if acquisition okayed - The Washington Post

Microsoft has signed a deal to bring the Activision Blizzard-published Call of Duty franchise to the Nintendo Switch for the first time, the company announced Tuesday night, pending approval of its acquisition of Activision Blizzard. The deal guarantees that Microsoft, which is awaiting federal approval of its acquisition of Activision Blizzard for $68.7 billion, would make available the popular first-person shooter series on Nintendo Switch for 10 years. It also announced a ten year deal to keep Call of Duty on the PC game store Steam.

Steam Deck : Valve accéléré la production et pense au futur

Le Steam Deck a déjà connu un succès important malgré une distribution totalement atypique. Si la politique de vente de Valve était si particulière avec une distribution au compte gouttes, c’était probablement pour éviter de prendre trop de risque. Une stratégie payante mais qui a ses limites. La marque a décidé d’augmenter la cadence pour fournir le plus de monde, le plus rapidement possible.

“The first step is to let you play the great games that exist today. The second iterations are going to be more about: what are the capabilities that mobile gives us, above and beyond what you would get in a traditional desktop or laptop gaming environment?”

Newell added that Valve is excited to see what other companies do with the software it’s created to power Steam Deck’s portable PC gaming experience. But it’s also considering its own ways to push the medium forward in ways that can’t be done on a desktop, with one example being the computer vision used for VR.

“One of the things [Steam Deck] represents is battery-capable, high-performance horsepower that eventually you could use in VR applications as well,” Newell says. “You can take the PC and build something that is much more transportable. We’re not really there yet, but this is a stepping stone.”

Croissance de la plateforme Steam
L’année 2021 fut un bon cru, même en comparaison avec 2020, année au cours de laquelle Steam a connu une croissance sans précédent. Les membres de la communauté Steam ont passé près de 38 milliards d’heures sur Steam en 2021, soit une augmentation de 21 % par rapport à 2020. (Cela représente 4,3 millions d’heures de jeu !)

Les dépenses par personne ont augmenté de 27 % par rapport à 2020, une augmentation qui dépasse celle du temps de jeu. Cette croissance n’est pas seulement due aux joueuses et joueurs existants. Chaque mois de 2021, 2,6 millions de personnes supplémentaires ont fait leur premier achat sur Steam, représentant un pourcentage d’augmentation similaire à 2020, première année de la pandémie.

Epic tells The Verge that it’s “open to games that support cryptocurrency or blockchain-based assets” on its game store, unlike its competitor Valve which has banned games that feature blockchain technology or NFTs from Steam. When we asked about allowing games that featured NFTs, Epic told us there’d be some limitations, but that it’s willing to work with “early developers” in the “new field.”

The entirety of Twitch has reportedly been leaked | VGC
▻https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/the-entirety-of-twitch-has-reportedly-been-leaked

https://www.videogameschronicle.com/files/2021/09/twitch-logo.jpg

An anonymous hacker claims to have leaked the entirety of Twitch, including its source code and user payout information.

The user posted a 125GB torrent link to 4chan on Wednesday, stating that the leak was intended to “foster more disruption and competition in the online video streaming space” because “their community is a disgusting toxic cesspool”.

VGC can verify that the files mentioned on 4chan are publicly available to download as described by the anonymous hacker.

One anonymous company source told VGC that the leaked data is legitimate, including the source code for the Amazon-owned streaming platform.

Internally, Twitch is aware of the breach, the source said, and it’s believed that the data was obtained as recently as Monday. We’ve requested comment from Twitch and will update this story when it replies.

[UPDATE: Twitch has confirmed the leak is authentic: “We can confirm a breach has taken place. Our teams are working with urgency to understand the extent of this. We will update the community as soon as additional information is available. Thank you for bearing with us.”]

Valve’s Steam Deck has impressed a lot of people since its reveal. After all, the company effectively designed its own version of the Switch to play your Steam library on the go. That’s pretty cool, and it’s proven to be quite a draw given its pre-order frenzy, and early hands-on impressions have been largely positive. Xbox boss Phil Spencer is among those who got to take the device for a test drive, and he recently expressed his happiness with the product, particularly in how well it runs Microsoft-published software.
