Publisher Mytona has wiped all references to the much-hyped Steam Early Access title from its website.To recap the timeline, the $40 game launched on December 7, Fntastic abruptly said it was shutting down on December 11 and Mytona pulled the plug on the game’s servers on January 22. After the studio’s closure, an official…

via Sony By all accounts, a universally-panned movie that scraped together a Rotten Tomatoes score of 12 percent and landed Razzie nominations for Worst Picture, Worst Actor, Worst Actress, and Worst Screen Couple wouldn’t stand out as a box office smash hit, but a whole lot of people shelled out to see The Bounty Hunter on the big screen. The light and breezy comic crime caper with hints of action and romance is a reliable genre, to be fair, but even then it was a shock when director Andy Tennant’s cinematic…

Newegg is the latest to capitalize on the hype of ChatGPT by integrating the GPT model into its PC Builder tool. It sounds great — give it a prompt tailored for your purpose and get a PC build, all with quick links to buy what you need. There’s just one problem — it’s terrible. No, the Newegg AI PC Builder isn’t just giving out a few odd recommendations. It’s still in beta, and that’s to be expected. The problem is that the AI seems to actively ignore the prompt you give it, suggests outlandish and unbalanced PCs,…

After Elon Musk’s recent acquisition of Twitter, many habitual tweeters announced their intentions of switching to other social platforms. Some blamed their defection on fears of an increase in hate speech and misinformation on the site. But even before the takeover, social media platforms such as Twitter already had a major problem that was driving users away: they make people miserable. So some companies are developing new social apps that aim to foster a positive online environment—and they have gained a significant…

There are certain blockbusters that have “box office bomb” written all over them and fully live up to such a harsh pre-emptive stigma, with the disastrous Chaos Walking one of the more prominent recent examples. A $125 million dystopian sci-fi starring Tom Holland, Daisy Ridley, Mads Mikkelsen, Cynthia Erivo, Nick Jonas, David Oyelowo – directed by The Bourne Identity and Edge of Tomorrow‘s Doug Liman – doesn’t sound as if it’s got the potential to crater so horrifically at the box office it would have been better off…

Tesla has disclosed that Elon Musk sold another $3.9 billion worth of Tesla (TSLA) shares, which the CEO is likely using to finance the dumpster fire that is his Twitter acquisition. After years of promising that he would be “the last one to sell Tesla”, Musk started to sell billions of dollars worth of Tesla shares over the last year. We later learned that his change of heart was partly to finance his costly acquisition of Twitter, the social media platform, which ended up costing a whopping $44 billion. In…

Tesla (TSLA) is expected to be about to finally get rid of its “junk bond” rating and become a “blue chip” – something somewhat overdue for the sixth most valuable company in the world. Despite delivering profits for more than two years straight and building a cash position of over $18 billion while sitting on very little debt, Tesla is still rated as a “junk bond” by rating companies like S&P Global Ratings and Moody’s Investors Service. Now rating experts and analysts are expecting Tesla to finally be…

Sorry. it had to be said Since Discovery took over Warner Bros from AT&T back in April, reading the tea leaves on top man David Zaslav has been a cottage industry. Here at the Beat, with no public-facing indication of his attitude towards superheroes, we took on an optimistic tone. This was based on the idea he might have the affinity for pulpish entertainment that greenlighting a show called Naked and Afraid might suggest. But this week, he is proving to be the kind of flinty bottom-line watcher who doesn’t play…
