Well, the Financial Times recently spoke to Embracer CEO Lars Wingefors and it seems the company’s scattershot approach actually is part of their strategy. Rather than betting on a few big games, Wingefors prefers to make money with a wide range of smaller games, which is not only less risky in his estimation, but makes Embracer less susceptible to being acquired itself… Wingefors also plans to continue Embracer’s strategy of not exerting too much control over their many developers....

Jumping into Evil West, the developer told me it’s best to use a gamepad, so I used it. The mouse and keyboard are supported, don’t fear there, but we’ve all got pads now. I can see why Flying Wild Hog recommends a gamepad for this.

Samsung May Also Resort to Using Its 5nm Process for the Exynos 2300 to Save Production Costs Considering that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is reportedly being produced on TSMC’s superior 4nm process, it will command better performance and power efficiency compared to if it was made on Samsung’s 4nm technology. In fact, part of the reason why Qualcomm switched to TSMC for its Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 was to get the extra perks that were not present on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 made using Samsung’s 4nm wafers....

At first glance, Codemasters has some fantastic wards in place, with the company - and F1 22 - looking like they’re going to have another great outing ahead. With the fifth of the real-world sports’ grand Prix completed, it’s worth speaking about Miami. Miami being a new track, Codemasters didn’t have the luxury of seeing it in action before building it into the game. Another thing that Codemasters, fortunately, didn’t have to build into F1 22 is the constant bouncing of cars along the high-speed sections of tracks (porpoising)....

The First Public Beta of iOS 16 is Expected to Arrive in July, A Little Late Than the Usual Timeframe According to Mark Gurman from Bloomberg, Apple will release the first public beta of iOS 16 in July.

Henceforth, if the news has any heft to it, we can presume that the first public beta of iOS 16 will arrive a few weeks later than usual....

Macs Getting UWB Support Could Mean They Will Become Easier to Find in the Future Apple’s macOS 12.3 Monterey brings features like Universal Control and secure notes in Safari’s password manager. However, one addition that was not talked about was how the update could get UWB support for the Mac, as suggested by 9to5Mac, who reports this inclusion via internal system files. Currently, UWB support is unavailable for the Mac or iPad lineup, explaining that Apple could be testing the feature on these two product ranges....

Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23 Plus, to Retain 3x Optical Zoom for Its Telephoto Camera Just like this year, Samsung will reportedly give the Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23 Plus the same telephoto setup, which includes a 10MP sensor that supports up to a 3x optical zoom. These specifications unearthed by GalaxyClub may hint that the Korean phone manufacturer has no intentions of equipping the aforementioned models with high-end cameras. This decision will leave room for the company to pool its resources on the Galaxy S23 Ultra, which is rumored to feature a 200MP main rear camera....

Previously, Google failed to find a consumer audience for its internet-connected glasses about a decade ago when it launched the Google Glass. During its I/O developer conference, the company showed a pair of glasses using an AR version of Google Translate. Unfortunately, that was the only preview the company was ever going to show the audience because a working product is likely not possible, at least for a few years....
