The new Legacy of Kain: Ascendance got 30% positive on Steam and 58 on OpenCritic. The game was criticized for being poorly-executed retro with zero quality of life features in mind nor variety that modern metroidvanias offer.
You can literally walk, do a simple attack, and jump, that's the whole game. And levels are boring, enemies are boring, you have seen it all in the first five minutes.

Blizzard just updated Diablo II: Resurrected on Steam and the game is not working anymore. Some say they pushed console client to PC.
Will they come out in like a few hours and "hey, April fools, right?" Since it's not even a joke...

Project R.O.A.C.H. | Official Trailer - CD PROJEKT RED
Some ideas strike you like a hoof to the head. Ten years ago, our team was inspired with a brand-new idea: revolutionize gaming with a controller unlike any other. This April 1, we’re introducing R.O.A.C.H., a controller to make your next adventure in the Continent more realistic and tactile than ever before.
Ride off into the sunset on R.O.A.C.H. today: thewitcher.ly/ROACH
And Nintendo's controversial patent is no longer valid. They have some time to appeal but I assume they will not get it anyway.
For context: they are not the authors of the idea, the gameplay feature has been used before them. This case is so bad that it caused changes in the patent office itself.

Phil Spencer is coming back to Xbox. His role will be to find every single device that can be your Xbox since you apparently have no real Xbox.
- It's almost like launching Doom on every device possible but this time we're launching doom upon ourselves, you know? - said Mr. SpencerЧитать полностью…

The biggest AI drama so far: Anthropic accidentally uploaded Claude into public storage. Thousands of people tried to simply re-upload it and faced DMCA strikes.
One mad mind at 4 AM woke up and used Codex AI to rewrite the whole thing into Python and then Rust. The outcome made by another AI is not technically the same as Claude Code itself. So the company struggles to take it down.

Tim Sweeney accidentally fired terminally ill worker who's plan was to die anyway but he lost insurance and his wife had to ask for help. Since it's seemingly impossible to get any new insurance if you're dying.
Tim said he was unaware due to medical confidentiality and now will provide the support and insurance. And the medical condition (since it was not disclosed) was not a factor for layoff.
Valve once faced the same issue in 2004. The writer Erik Wolpaw (Psychonauts (2005), Half-Life 2: Episode One (2006), Portal (2007), Portal 2 (2011) and Half-Life: Alyx (2020)) tried to quit his job due to severe medical terms, but Gabe listened to him and changed his job description to "Get better" and told him that his job now is to go to his wife, spend time with family and get better. And he got!Читать полностью…
[SOUND ON] Apparently, the joke from a TV series is now not so much of a joke:
Artemis II astronaut reports to NASA that two Microsoft Outlook instances are running on his computer and neither is working, asking someone to remote in and troubleshoot.

Mentally unstable TI kid is still there and still dangerous: now he DMCA-ed Tech Jesus and we all know what happens when someone does that 🌚
I can remind you that Asus CEO gave up, said he's sorry, gave a very unpleasant interview, and so on. Initially Asus tried to cover up a huge service scam gamers nexus exposed. And GN won against Asus.
So TI's Kevin Jimenez is most likely fucked at this point.

Meanwhile, the first in decades crewed mission to fly around the Moon has been safely launched. No landing this time but still cool. Artemis II will fly around Earth now, then will orbit the Moon six times, and turn back home.

Oracle is cutting up to 30,000 employees to pay for AI data centres... And it started with a 6 AM email.
Employees across the US, India, Canada, and Mexico woke up on 31 March to termination emails from “Oracle Leadership” with no prior warning. TD Cowen estimates the cuts will affect 18% of Oracle’s 162,000-person workforce and free up $8-10 billion to fund AI infrastructure. Oracle has not confirmed the total number.
