2017 and Origin is just now adding FPS counters, haha. Even Steam didn't have that for a long time, I think. Weird.

Microsoft: Xbox One X Will Feel Like A Premium PC Experience Overall
The strength of the PC gaming market has (finally) convinced Japanese game publishers that, yes, ours is a platform worthy of attention. There is one rather big outlier, however: An outfit you may have heard of previously called Nintendo, which made it very clear in a shareholders Q&A that it has zero interest in bringing its games to the PC.
Google Gets Rid Of ‘Instant Search’ In Desktop Results To Bring Uniformity Across Devices
Google’s search was integrated with Instant Search feature in the year 2010. It provided the search engine with functionality to automatically start listing results on the basis what the user began typing; the Search assumed the plausible results that could help in the query. Google is now killing the desktop-specific feature.

Ubisoft Is Happy for Red Dead Redemption 2’s Delay into 2018
EA doesn’t seem to be worried about rival publishers, but does believe that the delay of Red Dead Redemption 2 opens up some opportunity for the industry as a whole.
Aaron Greenberg: “People pick Xbox because we have the biggest franchises, the biggest exclusives, whether you are a fan of Halo, or Gears of War, or Forza.”
Andy Kelly: Long haul
Divinity: Original Sin 2 is good. Like, really good. But it's so vast, so full of cool stuff, that when I look at it in my Steam library, I feel like I'm in the foothills of Nepal gazing up at the peak of Mount Everest. The chances of me seeing the thing through to the end—especially when I have a dozen other games wrestling for my attention—is pretty low. And the last thing I need is more unfinished games, and the smoldering guilt that comes with them

Tom Senior: Class war
I’m going to jump into the 92-scoring Divinity: Original Sin 2 this weekend, and I have run into a familiar old problem. What character should I be? What class should I play? Games force you into these decisions before you even know the rules of the game, which makes character creation a leap of faith. Divinity gives you some skill descriptions and a preview of what your character could look like kitted out in the game’s prettiest gear, but there’s no way to know whether close combat will be more fun than magic in the long run. And what about characters with their own origin stories and unique dialogue? Will I miss out if I pick the wrong one?

James Davenport: Building character
Like Tom, I'm stuck on the first battle in Divinity: Original Sin 2. It's been an hour and I still can't get past the character selection screen. Every origin character sounds amazing, and I love the idea of playing through a unique storyline, but then I can't really develop and roleplay my own personality, can I? Unless those origin characters have more wiggle room than I realize, but either way, I still have to choose a class, and that'll never happen. Anything that involves necromancy and/or blood always does me right, but some of the other magics sound so goofy and playful that I'll have to dabble. But then my character will have to adapt and, and, and—I give up.
ESRB does not consider loot boxes to be gambling. While there’s an element of chance in these mechanics, the player is always guaranteed to receive in-game content (even if the player unfortunately receives something they don’t want). We think of it as a similar principle to collectible card games: Sometimes you’ll open a pack and get a brand new holographic card you’ve had your eye on for a while. But other times you’ll end up with a pack of cards you already have.
:thumbup: for PEGI who didn't dare to act as a fog selling fraudster like ESRB.In short, our approach is similar to that of ESRB (I think all rating boards do, USK in Germany as well). The main reason for this is that we cannot define what constitutes gambling. That is the responsibility of a national gambling commission. Our gambling content descriptor is given to games that simulate or teach gambling as it’s done in real life in casinos, racetracks, etc. If a gambling commission would state that loot boxes are a form of gambling, then we would have to adjust our criteria to that.
It wasn't even taken into consideration here, all it matters is that RNG drops something. Anything, even if it's a pixel of different color, as long as it's not nothing.
Several dogs tested positive for the opioid pain reliever Tramadol, the governing board of the nearly 1,000-mile Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race said in a statement. The team was tested six hours after finishing the nearly 1,000-mile race in Nome in March, officials said. They estimate the drug could have been administered between 15 hours before the test and right before it.
